Abstract

František Žilka (1871–1944) At the occasion of the 150 birth anniversary of the first teacher of New Testament studies at the protestant theological faculty in Prague, his contribution to the newly constituted faculty and church is recalled. Žilka followed the call to become a faculty professor after some 23 years in the service of a church minister, and with a systematic plan of basic publications he laid the foundations of the New Testament studies. A major achievement of lasting value is his modern translation of the New Testament, he is also remebered as a learned and both gentle and determined proponent of liberal protestantism in the Czech church environment.
