Theological Reflections: Eastern European Journal of Theology<\/a><\/em> invites researchers to submit scholarly articles for publication in the spring 2026 issue (24:1) titled \u201cHermeneutics of Ethical Life: Christian Responsibility During a Crisis.\u201d The spring issue will focus on the core principles of church doctrine, Christian ethical values, and the role of believers during socio-political upheavals. In this context, it is important to explore how church teachings have shaped understandings of crises and how these crises have prompted a reevaluation of those teachings, leading to the renewal of traditional principles and practices.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

German historian Reinhart Koselleck analyzed the concept of crisis and described it as a \u201cstructural feature of modernity.\u201d He argued that it represents a process where a system fails because of the accumulating effects of multiple conflicts, resulting in the development of a new post-crisis state. As the boundary between life and death or between salvation and destruction, a crisis requires action and decisions. However, without a thorough theological interpretation, it is impossible to make ethical decisions and lead a responsible Christian life in new circumstances. In this sense, a crisis can be described as a situation in which we cannot move forward without fundamental changes. Therefore, a crisis is not only destruction but also a catalyst for progress, which becomes an opportunity only for those who understand its meaning and are willing to reflect on established theological views in the face of new challenges. Periods of crisis reveal problems, forcing the church to rethink the purpose, content, and form of its existence in the world.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
