In the book the author explores understanding of the concept of God, which ranges from fundamentalist approaches to approaches that renew humanity or mankind and offer to it a future as the source of inexhaustible possibilities. On the basis of God as a foundational principle of inexhaustible possibilities the author develops an anthropology, which has its origins in the Gospel as the possibility of continuous renewal and rebirth of man; such an understanding is an alternative to modern disconsolate apocalyptic predictions.

The paper addresses selected dimensions of global justice debate, especially those that are connected with the concept of hospitality and proposes a scientifically original thesis in relation to them. It introduces and elaborates the concept of agents of justice as developed by Onora O’Neill and situates its importance in the global justice perspective. This then enables one to approach the notion of hospitality, and within a global justice context, to address some open questions: who is to offer hospitality, to whom do we owe it, and to what extent? The importance of these questions is demonstrated with the work of Seyla Benhabib and her defence of the right to hospitality. All this then paves the way to develop a notion of agents of hospitality. In conclusion, the paper puts forward a general outline of the duties and responsibilities of these agents regarding the right to hospitality. The paper was published in the AHCI indexed journal. This paper represents a fundamental basis for the understanding of global justice and thus a basis for determining the role of religion and religious communities in this model, which the author has also researched and published on (other achievements).

In the first part of the paper, the concept of the survey is demonstrated, continuing with presentation of the survey results. In the concluding part, the author, on the basis of the results, illustrates that sacrifice as self-denying and self-offering love is an essential dimension of Christian spirituality.
