Theological periodical - CHURCH IN THE WORLD

“Crkva u svijetu”, meaning “Church in the World”, abbr. CuS, is a theological periodical initiated in 1966 by the Split-Makarska archbishop dr. Frane Franić and his closest collaborators. Since then the periodical has been published continually, first as a bimonthly and then as a quarterly publication. In an atmosphere of opening of Catholic Church toward the modern world after the Second Vatican Council, CuS became a significant place of theological analysis of church problem in Croatian areas and also a stage for dialogues between the Church and the world, Christian faith and the actual society.

The periodical has the following sections: discussions, contributions, views, presentations and retrospects. Under the section discussions, more extensive works from the field of theology and philosophy are published. The section contributions carries individual documents or their comments.

The section views presents our collaborators’ subjective views and assessments. Presentations and retrospects include the presentations and reviews of books dealing with the problem area of religion, as well as the retrospects of important scientific meetings and church events.

Editorial board, with the editor-in chief at the head, prepare and edit particular issue of the periodical, while the scientific council define its long-term profile. In 1996 categorization and scientific review of articles were introduced. When the Catholic Theological Faculty of the University of Split was founded in 1999, it took over the publication of the periodical as its scientific review. As part of the periodical there is also an animated publishing activity and organizing of numerous pastoral and scientific meetings.

In 2005 the National Council for Science of the Republic of Croatia listed the periodical Church in the World among the periodicals equal to those with international review.
