Publications about the thematic range between guilt and reconciliation signal - at this turning-point in the history of Slovenia - an important cultural contribution. Various studies are bringing about the urgently necessary standardization of scientific biblical terminology in the Slovenian language, encouragement for Slovenian biblical and theological scholars and a basis for elevating the scientific level of biblical and theological scholarship at the Slovenian Faculty of Theology and in other Slovenian scientific institutions. The contents of such publications necessarily speak to the ideological, general spiritual and moral state of affairs in Slovenia, e.i., regarding the manipulation of the rule of communist continuity in relationship towards the role of religion and particularly of the Church in public, as well as to nihilistic ideological currents in our society. The basis of the critique is the biblical understanding of call and serving. Because of their belief in the transcendent divine authority the prophets knew that the responsibility of called or elected individuals is much greater than the responsibility of those who, in their intelligence and feeling, do not surpass the horizon of the vulgar materialism. The personalistic understanding of guilt and reconciliation rejects directly and indirectly the ideology of reconciliation according to the dictates of revolutionary ideologues who declare themselves the only true interpreters of the historical truth and are not willing to confess their own guilt. Reconciliation is possible only when all of us confess our share of guilt in the light of the fundamental aim of our life and mission. This is the postulate of all fundamental cultural and religious documents of the humankind, especially of the Bible, which among all the cultural and religious documents of humankind recognizes most universally and profoundly the origin, the universal framework, and the aim of human beings. The metaphysical foundation of biblical views is the incontestable criterion for judging critical historical moments.
