Abstract

In the paper the author reflects on the apostolate on the basis of the written books and articles of Živan Bezić, one of the most prolific pastoral theologians in Croatia in the second half of the last century. In the first part he presents Bezić’s theological-pastoral thoughts on the meaning, historical use and foundation of the apostolate. In the second part he speaks of the division, purpose and areas of apostolate. In the third part, in the light of contemporary achievements of pastoral theology and from the point of view of the Lateran School, the author critically refers to Bezić’s theologicalpastoral reflections on the apostolate, on its division and areas and subjects of the apostolate. Bezić, the pastoral theologian, perceives the apostolate in a traditional spirit and does not use the term itself monosemically in his works.
