The conference is an inaugural approach to attaining two necessary objectives that the church painting committee is trying to materialize with the help of some well-known specialists, viz.: the making of an iconographic Guide for the church painters and the servants of the holy altars, and the realization of a standard for restoring the church heritage in the cult. The Conference is a good occasion for sketching, by means of scientific works which are to be given, of some preceding theses necessary for the attainment of the two assumed objectives, and for gathering suggestion and questions which are to ensure the connection to the real needs of the guild of the new Iconographic Guide, by means of the filling in by the specialists present at the conference of a question- na'ive drawn up with that end in view. Meeting some real needs of our Church, the Restoration Standard aims at fixing and implementing some basic principles and practical rules destined, on the one hand, to avoid the distortion of the original aspect of the pictural ensemble, and, on the other hand, to make possible the achievement of the liturgical and dogmatical function of the mural ensemble, avoiding the transformation of the liturgical and community space into a picture-gallery.

By virtue of this communion, the alive perform some obligations for those fallen asleep: to pray for them and to make deeds of charity, because if we do not love the dead, we do not love the Lord Who loves those that have taken rest, as living members of His Church. The alive have a duty to pray for those fallen asleep, because our prayers are for the good of the departed.

A bővölködés-teológia észak-amerikai kezdetei, jellemzői és utóélete Dél-Koreában, David Yonggi Cho A negyedik dimenzió című könyvének tükrében

Author(s): Petra Lőrinczi / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 6/2023

This paper discusses prosperity theology from the perspective of religious studies, arguably one of the most important aspects regarding the history and role of the Yoido Full Evangelical Church (hereinafter: YFGC) in the South Korean Protestant Christian religious tapestry. The current study aims to explore the history and characteristics of prosperity theology using the book titled “Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel” by Kate Bowler, a Canadian researcher with a Protestant theological background. The paper presents the North American context of the formation of prosperity theology from the perspective of spiritual history, history of theology and social history approaches. Furthermore, it maps the ways in which this theological tendency reached the Protestant Christian communities of South Korea. Indeed, the encounter of prosperity theology with the traditional Korean religious and cultural context raises many complex theological and religious issues, like the problem of syncretism and heresy. Finally, the study analyses the book of David Yonggi Cho, the leader of the largest charismatic church in South Korea, entitled “The Spiritual World of the Fourth Dimension”.

Theologie der Krise und Krise Gottes

Author(s): Ulrich H. J. Körtner / Language(s): German Issue: 3/2024

The present time can be characterized as an era of multiple crises (polycrisis). This article outlines the basic features of a theology of crisis. In contrast to the conventional crisis rhetoric, a theology of crisis seeks a distinctly theological approach to experiences of crisis, following the path of Dialectical Theology with reference to the biblical concept of the crisis of God. This concept is grounded both in creation theology and in christology – articularly in the theology of incarnation and the theology of the cross. In light of the crisis of God, the idea of God’s omnipotence must also be reinterpreted. Finally, as will be shown, a theology of crisis understood from an eschatological perspective is a theology of waiting.
