BONO ZVONIMIR ŠAGI - NAVJESTITELJ I PUBLICIST KRŠĆANSKE AKTUALNOSTI. TEOLOŠKA MISAO BONE ZVONIMIRA ŠAGIJA KROZ KOLUMNISTIČKI RAD U KRŠĆANSKOJ OBITELJSKOJ REVIJI KANA
BONO ZVONIMIR ŠAGI – EVANGELIZER AND PUBLICIST OF THE CHRISTIAN ACTUALITY. OVERVIEW OF THE THEOLOGICAL THOUGHT AND THEMES OF BONO ZVONIMIR ŠAGI IN HIS WORK AS A COLUMNIST IN THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY MAGAZINE KANA

Summary/Abstract: Bono Zvonimir Šagi is one of the most prominent post-Vatican II theologians and proponents of the Council ideas, whose endeavour can be studied in the context of the overall work of Kršćanska sadašnjost. Although he did not pursue academic theology, from the earliest days of his theological education he regularly wrote in numerous published works, mainly in the editions and periodicals published by KS. His frequent and recognizable form of writing is columnistic and essayistic in nature. As one of the most consistent authors of the Christian family magazine Kana, for which he wrote 334 articles over almost four decades, his thinking is entirely consistent with the title of Kana’s most significant column "The Question of the the Present Moment". This contextual quality is in fact a fundamental aim of Šagi’s theological work. For Šagi, theology is a discourse about God which should be, above all, as clear as possible in an effort to be proclaimed in specific concrete moments and social realities. The authors mainly attempt to present Šagi’s vision of the Church ad intra and ad extra based on the entirety of his columns in Kana, to define the main theological features and themes and to identify foundations, and development of his thought. The authors identify as a common thread in Šagi’s thought the proposal he offers as a modus vivendi of the Church and Christianity in the contemporary world, of the Church and society: dialogue in truth, justice, and love – dialogue as a means of building a "civilization of love" and a "universal brotherhood" for universal peace.
