Abstract

Ivan Stojkovic (1392/95 - 1443), the known Dominican theologian in the contacts on different levels with the Hussites (but also with the Eastern Christians) created XVI presuppositions (or rules) for a successful discussions and negotiations for the lost unity. He based his hermeneutics on the common and profound, rich and authentic biblical meaning and teaching accepted by two or all involved participators. He attained his purpose of finding the biblical truth in the Catholic Church on behalf of the great philosophers (Greek and Christian), following the church fathers and the later great theologians. He took particularly in consideration the magisterium of the church and the ecclesiastic councils as the highest and ultimate authority of the revealed truths to accept.
