„Eu am biruit lumea” (Ioan 16, 33) în lectură niptică
„I have overcome the world” (John 16,33). A neptical approach

Summary/Abstract: The last verse of the 16th chapter from the John’s Gospelcreated the occasion of this exposition. The appeal and rare use and,to a certain extent, inappropriate to the orthodox environment,represent the element that determined me to provoke a dialoguebetween the neptic (philokalical) hermeneutics and the modernexegesis regarding the last fragment of this verse: „I have overcomethe world”.It is a fact that the Eastern Biblical Theology does not yet purpose its own method and discourse on biblical topics, being confronted internally with a certain predisposition for using the Western historical-critic method, but also with the exclusive establishment of the Systematic Theology regarding the interpretation of the Holy Scripture. Therefore, the present study is trying to answer some questions regarding the overcoming and the victory over the world, by focusing on the differences of interpretation between the modern exegesis and the neptic approach of this passage.
