This paper was created as a result of discussions with the students from the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Osijek, as part of the Introduction into Philosophy course. In the paper we used parts ...of Luka Đukić’s essay, “Memorial Centers: The Role of Memory,” which have, as part of dialogue regarding the role of memory, been inserted into the text by J. Mladenovska-Tešija. The purpose of the paper is to emphasize the relevance of Ricoeur’s reflections about memory for Evangelical Christians, especially considering Christ’s death on Calvary as an anti-narrative.
Ovaj je rad nastao kao rezultat diskusija koje su se vodile sa studentima Visokoga
evanđeoskoga teološkog učilišta u Osijeku, u okviru kolegija Uvod u filozofiju. U
radu su korišteni dijelovi eseja studenta Luke Đukića “Memorijalni centri: uloga
pamćenja” koji su, u cilju dijaloga o ulozi pamćenja, umetnuti unutar teksta J.
Mladenovske-Tešije. Cilj je rada ukazati na relevantnost Ricoeurova razmišljanja
o pamćenju za evanđeoske kršćane, posebice imajući u vidu Kristovu smrti na
Golgoti kao protunarativ.

The text discusses possibilities of application of dialogue as a method of learning in theological education. As the author comes from Protestant milieu, the focus of analysis will be Protestant ...theological education in the Republic of Croatia, and more specifically, the use of dialogue as a method of learning at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Osijek, which is the case study. To this end, author conducted a pilot study among the employees of the College, which confirmed the use and effectiveness of dialogue as a method of teaching in theological education. The conclusions suggest that the dialogue model is based upon the relationship between God and men, and within the Triune nature of God Himself; that it leads toward joint action – fulfillment of the Kingdom on earth – by both man and God as partners; it also impacts positively the students easing adoption of new knowledge, seeking their active involvement in the class by reflecting on their past experiences; encourages independent critical thinking and application of acquired knowledge in the context of the society.
What does it mean today to live as a believer? Or, more specifically, what does
it really mean today to live as a follower of Christ? Is our life, the life of those
who have decided to take a step to ...belong to Christ, different from the lives
of other people around us, and in what manner? By asking these questions,
the author is interested in one distinctive component of our lives: the wider
community, living with others, and when we encounter politics, in a somewhat
neglected ancient sense of that word. This is where the reality of life
meets the crucified Christ because this is the sphere where our values are best
reflected because they are shaped by the everyday trials of blending in with
the prevailing dictatorship of relativism. The issue of the active engagement
of a Christian believer in socio-political life arises as an unavoidable question
before many theologians of the twentieth century. Among them, Jürgen
Moltmann is certainly a key one.
This text emphasizes that God’s promised future relates to and includes our
present: hence, the focus of Jürgen Moltmann’s analysis is the crucified one
and his invitation to discipleship that requires not only personal transformation
and a change in our relationships, but also an active participation in the
process of changing existing social circumstances. The article will start from
the basic assumptions of Moltmann’s theology outlined in his book The Crucified
God. While talking about God, the author actually provides an answer to
the question: What kind of discipleship are we called to today by the one who
was crucified? The article will pay special attention to the shift introduced by
Moltmann, an entirely different approach or question: If social engagement is necessary, how does it relate to the sphere of Christianity, or more specifically,
what should Christians be like in order to live in harmony with others?

U ovom tekstu raspravlja se o primjeni dijaloga kao metode učenja u teološkom obrazovanju. Kako autorica dolazi iz protestantskog miljea, fokus analize bit će protestantsko teološko obrazovanje u ...Republici Hrvatskoj, odnosno konkretnije, primjena dijaloga kao metode učenja na Visokom evanđeoskom teološkom učilištu (VETU) u Osijeku. U tu svrhu provedeno je pilot-istraživanje među djelatnicima Učilišta, koje je potvrdilo i korištenje i učinkovitost dijaloga kao metodu u nastavi. Zaključci upućuju na to da je dijalog teološki model koji upućuje na bit odnosa između Boga i ljudi, i suradnje s Bogom na ostvarenju Kraljevstva na Zemlji koji svoj temelj ima u trojstvenom (dijaloškom) Bogu, te da je dijalog metoda učenja poticajna za usvajanje novih znanja, koja traži aktivnu uključenost i refleksiju studenata na prošla iskustva te potiče samostalno promišljanje i primjenu novih spoznaja unutar konteksta u kojem bi se naučeno trebalo primijeniti.

Što znači živjeti kao vjernik danas? Ili još konkretnije, što danas znači živjeti kao Kristov sljedbenik? Je li naš život, nas koji smo se odlučili za taj korak biti Kristovim, drugačiji od života ...drugih ljudi oko nas i u čemu? Postavljajući ova pitanja autoricu zanima jedan osebujan dio našeg života: onog u društvu shvaćenom kao širu zajednicu, s drugim ljudima, gdje se događa naš susret s političkim u pomalo zapostavljenom, antičkom smislu te riječi. Ovo stoga što se upravo ovdje događa susretanje stvarnosti i raspetog Krista, jer je
to prostor gdje se ponajbolje očituju vrijednosti u kojima vjerujemo - jer su u svakodnevnoj kušnji pretapanja s većinskom diktaturom relativizma. Pitanje angažmana kršćanskog vjernika u društveno-političkom životu javlja se kao nezaobilazno pitanje za veći broj teologa dvadesetoga stoljeća, a jedan je od ključnih Jürgen Moltmann. Ovaj tekst ističe da obećana Božja budućnost uključuje i našu sadašnjost: stoga je fokus analize Jürgen Moltmann, odnosno Raspeti i Njegov poziv na nasljedovanje - koji zahtijeva ne samo osobnu promjenu i promjenu u odnosima spram drugih, već i promjenu zatečenih društvenih okolnosti. Rad će krenuti od osnovnih postavki Moltmannove teologije izloženih u njegovu djelu “Raspeti Bog“. Progovarajući o Bogu, on nudi odgovor na pitanje na kakvo
nas nasljedovanje Raspeti danas poziva. Pri tome će rad obratiti pozornost na zaokret koji Moltmann uvodi, jednim posve drugačijim pristupom ili pitanjem: ako je društveni angažman nužan, što je onda u njemu kršćansko. Još konkretnije: kakvi bismo kršćani mi trebali biti, da bismo živjeli s drugima u odnosima sklada.
