Summary/Abstract: The writer of this study reveals the connection between Luhmann’s works and Czech theological discourse. He also demonstrates that the theory of systems provides new views on questions such as the open church, Christianity as a religion, non-ontological and non-metaphysical models of theology, and even the possibility of finding new formulations of Trinitarian theology and Christology. The author additionally considers the possibility of an application of Luhmann’s notion of coding as an expression of the identity of a system. He also evaluates a possible formulation of the code of Christianity.
