Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is the critical analysis of the Trinitarian Theology and Pneumatology of František Žak SJ (1862–1934) who is the author of the many theological books and articles, romances, stories, stage plays, spiritual songs… In the introduction the author explains the reasons of this study and presents the basic hermeneutical points of view of his analysis. Then he introduces the work and the life of František Žak and finds two texts of this author which deal with the Trinitarian Theology and Pneumatology. The life of Žak is more interesting than his theological work which suffers from the same deficiencies which were typical for Dogmatic Theology of his era, but in Žak’s work there are some elements which are actual up to these days.
