Prel. prof. dr. Antano Rubšio kultūrinis palikimas Bažnyčiai ir Lietuvai

Abstract

Straipsnyje pristatoma 2002 m. į amžinybę išėjusio žymaus egzodo dvasininko, mokslininko ir pedagogo, prel. prof. dr. Antano Rubšio asmeninio archyvo kultūrinio palikimo Bažnyčiai ir Lietuvai analizė. Atliktas tyrimas parodė, kad palikimą Bažnyčiai ir Lietuvai sudaro parašytos bei verstos knygos, moksliniai straipsniai ir paskaitų, skaitytų Vytauto Didžiojo universiteto Katalikų teologijos fakultete, Vilniaus pedagoginio universiteto Istorijos fakulteto Katalikų tikybos katedroje, Vilniaus šv. Juozapo ir Telšių vyskupo Vincento Borisevičiaus kunigų seminarijose, konspektai. Tyrimo rezultatai pagrindė darbo pradžioje iškeltą hipotezę, kad prel. prof. dr. Antano Rubšio kultūrinis palikimas Bažnyčiai ir Lietuvai yra daugiaplanis, t. y. apimantis dvasinę ir akademinę veiklą, taip pat ekumeniškai susijęs su kitomis konfesijomis

These are very actual problems nowadays, and they inspire us to do research on Lithuanian exodus authors, their works and heritage, and to give their evaluation. The following research tries to show the heritage of the prelate prof. dr. Antanas Rubšys and its importance to Lithuanian Church and science. There are some tasks in order to reach this: firstly to show the contents of the prelate prof. dr. Antanas Rubšys’ personal archive; secondly, to analyse the aims of it and thirdly, to show its importance to Lithuanian Church and science. Retrospective, analytic and synthetic scientific methods were used in the research. [...]
