              Toward Spirituality of Post-Christian Disciples of Jesus
              Abstract:

              This essay examines a contemporary religious phenomenon that has emerged from Christian 
              communities: the spirituality of post-Christian disciples of Jesus. The itinerary of the
              three stages. First, the essay develops a working anthropological definition of the term

              since this term designates the primary object of study. This essay, however, proceeds on
              a concept of spirituality in dialectical relationship with the phenomenon of religion, n

              distinguishing the two phenomena from one another. The second stage of this study examin
              and contextual features that specify more precisely several major factors from which the
              of post-Christian disciples of Jesus has emerged: rejection of Christian dogmatism, orth

              fundamentalisms; rejection of dogmatic and fundamentalist forms of science and atheism; 
              experiences of betrayal, on the one hand, by Christian communities and traditions and, o
              hand, by secular humanism and scientific culture as well. Finally, in the third stage, t

              a brief constructive characterization or vision of the spirituality of post-Christian di
              Jesus, those who reject the dogmatism of the various Christian orthodoxies and fundament

              of post-Christian disciples of Jesus.

              Christian Truth-Claims in Contemporary Epistemological Setting
              Abstract:
              The author makes a case for the plausibility of the Christian faith vis-?-vis the challe

              by postmodern relativism. He draws on Charles Taylor’s and Alasdair MacIntyre’s critique
              Nietzschean position; and Harold Netland’s critique of John Hick’s version of religious 
              addition, he proposes that experience can play a positive role in confirming or disconfi

              truth – meaning both subjective religious experience and one’s experience with the featu
              to which religious claims either correspond or fail to correspond.

              Abstract:
              The survey follows the internal and external struggle of Bishop Gorazd in the third deca

              century as reflected in the journal Za pravdou (Following the Truth), Gorazd himself edi
              struggle made him eventually to leave the Czechoslovak Church and to found the Eastern-O
              in Czechoslovakia. The author interprets this struggle as a conflict between the idea of

              one hand and the idea of freedom on the other, resulting in two churches. However, neith
              dogmatic Orthodox church nor the liberal Czechoslovak Church were able to carry out full
              complex vision of a new formulation of the faith and a modernization of the church.

              Liberal Judaism and Jewish Christian Relations
              Abstract:

              In this article the author focuses on the main reasons why the progressive Jewish moveme
              Britain called Liberal Judaism has played a very important role in developing and cultiv
              Christian dialogue and cooperation. Besides the obvious fact that several key leaders of

              had a strong interest in Christianity, the core values of the movement, such as universa
              optimism, social activism and historical and progressive view of revelation contributed 
              to the fact that Liberal Judaism has always been a pioneering movement in the area of Je

              dialogue.
              Keywords:
              Liberal Judaism – Jewish Christian dialogue – interfaith relations
