Abstract

This work is trying to give a cross-section view of liturgicalpastoral
and liturgical theological themes in the fifty years of
publishing the Divine Service. The periodical Divine Service is the
only theological periodical with the aim, as shown in its subtitle
and thematic determination, to analyze liturgy and liturgical
renewal in pastoral context. Through the sectional view the
author is trying to find the basic guidelines and main theologicalliturgical
themes of Divine Service. In the author’s opinion there
are four successive phases in which one can recognize the
continuity and diversity, tendencies and interruptions, a vivid
dynamism of Divine Service as a place of theological and pastoral
analysis of liturgy with us. The author finds the first phase to
be programmatic as Divine Service emerged in it as a “liturgical
review”. The second part was characterized by the Council and
Post Council renewal and Divine Service was engaged by liturgy
analysis and liturgy renewal. In its subsequent development
Divine Service will pass to theological-pastoral themes and
actually it transformed into a theological periodical. In the end,
the recent period of Divine Service has been characterized by
the “searching for liturgical themes” which at the same time
opens up the space for the analysis of liturgical identity of this
periodical in the future.
