XVIII-wieczne inwentarze kościelne jako przyczynek do badań nad ewangelickimi księgozbiorami parafialnymi w Prusach Ksiązęcych

Author(s): Piotr Birecki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2020

The Geheimes Staatsarchiv in Berlin-Dahlem houses an interesting source material for the studies on the furnishing of Protestant churches and vicarages. This is a mid-18th century inventory comprising information on liturgical vessels, vestments and church bells in possession of 91 Protestant parishes in the former Ducal Prussia. An important part of that inventory make quite meticulously listed Bibles, postills, liturgical and theological books and legal documents found in churches, parish schools and private pastors’ libraries. Almost all the listed items have been recognised, despite often laconic bibliographic notations. This allowed to identify the works by Luther and Melanchton as parts of 16th-century books, 17th- and 18th-century works being part of the theological legacy of both orthodox and Pietistic groups of authors. The titles of postills, hymn books, agendas and historical books have been established. The majority of listed items dated back to the 18th century, which indicates that – as it was noted in one of the parishes – the books had been robbed or destroyed by the Russian armed forces. Some of the book collections could have also fallen prey to the Tatars in the 17th century. The researched inventory presented here makes a good source material for art historians, who have acquired ample evidence of the artists making use of the illustrations and emblems enclosed in Pietistic treatises, postills and hymnals published not only by the most eminent theologians in Königsberg, but also those active in Berlin, Halle or Leipzig.

ТИПИ ІКОНОГРАФІЇ «ХРИСТА – ДОБРОГО ПАСТИРЯ» У РАННЬОХРИСТИЯНСЬКОМУ ТА ЗАХІДНОЄВРОПЕЙСЬКОМУ МИСТЕЦТВІ XV – XVII СТ.

Author(s): Oksana Shyroka / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 4/2020

The purpose of the article is to trace the peculiarities of the development of Christ the Good Shepherd iconography from the samples of the Early Christian Era (3-4th centuries) to later interpretations in the West European art of 15-17th centuries. Scientific novelty. the article is the first attempt to unify and comprehend the iconography of Christ the Good Shepherd at all stages of its development, including an allegorical image originated from the ancient prototype and symbolical depiction of Jesus Christ with a lamb on his back popular in the West European art of 15-17th centuries. Methodology. The work on the article was studied with the use of the method of formal art analysis. The symbolism of the works in terms of their sacral meaning was studied with the use of the iconographic method. The hermeneutical method was used for outlining the origin and development of the iconography of Christ the Good Shepherd from the viewpoint of the controversy between Christianity and Paganism, Catholicism, and Protestantism. Conclusions: Based on the images of the early Christian period and West European art of the 15-17th centuries, four types of images were singled out: 1. A Good Shepherd as a barefaced young man with the lamb on his back; 2. The barefaced young shepherd with a crook, harp, or bucket of water standing next to the flock of sheep; 3. Jesus Christ as the Pantocrator, an adult man with the lamb on his back; 4. Jesus resurrected, often bare, with the wounds on his legs and arms, with the lamb on his shoulders.

The Evangelical Movement in Austria from 1945 to the Present: A Critical Appraisal

Author(s): Frank Hinkelmann / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

This essay examines the development of the Evangelical Movement in Austria from 1945 to the present. The history of the Evangelical Movement can be divided into four phases: The beginnings (1945-1961), which can be characterized above all by missionary work among ethnic German refugees of the World War II, a second phase from 1961-1981, which can be described as an internationalization of the Evangelical Movement especially through the work of North American missionaries. During this time new ways of evangelism were sought and also church planting projects were started. A third phase is characterized by a growing confessionalization and institutionalization of the Evangelical Movement. While free church congregation were increasingly taking on denominational contours, the evangelical movement as a whole began to increasingly establish its own institutions. The last phase since 1998 is characterized by the Evangelical Movement breaking out of isolation towards social and political acceptance.

Author(s): Gherasim Cristea-Piteşteanul / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 4/1978

Le présent ouvrage se propose de refléter certains aspects liés à la contribution du clergé orthodoxe de l'Olténie à l'appui de la guerre d'Indépendance.

Beaucoup d'institutions monacales de l'évêché ont servi comme hôpitaux pour les soldats roumains et turcs. Le clergé orthodoxe roumain a été toujours près du peuple dans les moments de tristesse et de joie.

«ГУГЕНОТИ» ДЖ. МЕЄРБЕРА В КОНТЕКСТІ ДУХОВНО-ХРИСТИЯНСЬКИХ ШУКАНЬ ЕПОХИ РОМАНТИЗМУ

Author(s): Shang Yun / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2/2021

The purpose of the article is to identify the poetical and intonational features of J. Meyerbeer’s «Huguenots» in the context of the spiritual quest of romanticism, the evolution of French musical theater in the first half of the 19th century and its mystery component. The methodology of the work is the intonation concept of music from the perspective of intonation-stylistic analysis inherited from B. Asafiev and his followers. The analytical-musicological, genre-style, interdisciplinary, historical and cultural approaches are also essential for this work, revealing the spiritual and moral specifics of the poetics of the French «grand opera» and its mystery primary sources using the example of J. Meyerbeer's «Huguenots». The scientific novelty of the work is determined by its analytical perspective, focused on the consideration of the «Huguenots» by J. Meyerbeer in the context of the spiritual-Christian quests of the romantic era. Conclusions. The poetics of J. Meyerbeer’s opera «Huguenots», which is one of the exemplary examples of «grand» French opera, was formed at the intersection, on the one hand, of creative discoveries in the field of French musical theater of the first half of the 19th century and its vocal and performing stage practice. On the other hand, the named work demonstrates a deep connection with the mysterious traditions of the French spiritual theater, dating back to the Middle Ages, to the spiritual, religious and stylistic attitudes of the musical theater of French classicism («lyric tragedy» by J. B. Lully) and at the same time consonant with the religious quests of romanticism and the moral and ethical positions of French historicism.

Ognista miłość. Oda Macieja Kazimierza Sarbiewskiego do Świętego Stanisława Kostki

Author(s): Elwira Buszewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1 (58)/2021

The objective of the article is to provide background for the reading of a new annotated bilingual edition of Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski’s ode to Saint Stanislaus Kostka. Written in 1638, when Kostka had not yet been canonized, the ode was published posthumously, many years after the poet’s death. First, the origins of the poem are presented, including the suggestions advanced by Stanisław Łubieński, the bishop of Płock, that Sarbiewski should create odes worshipping Polish saints. Other texts devoted to the venerable young man written by, or attributed to Sarbiewski are also briefly discussed. This is followed by an analysis of the ode, with special focus on its visual and theatrical properties, and on the poet’s emphasis on the mystic experiences of the Jesuit saint and his special bond with Mary. The manner of portraying the saint’s life deployed by Sarbiewski is shown to be modelled on the contemporary iconographic tradition, especially a drawing by Giacomo Lauro, which, copied by an anonymous artist was subsequently included in the collection Icones et miracula sanctorum Poloniae (Cologne 1605). Literary hagiographic works on which Sarbiewski might have drawn – both poetry and prose – are also mentioned. After the introductory section, the ode is presented in two language versions: the original Latin and the new Polish translation. The text is provided with comments detailing historical facts, discussing the ancient similia and elocutionary relations to Sarbiewski’s other texts.

Cognitive aspects of the philosophical and theological coherence of the concept of a miracle within the contemporary scientific world view

Author(s): Wojciech P. Grygiel / Language(s): English Issue: 70/2021

The purpose of the article is to investigate the philosophical and theological validity and coherence of the classical concept of a miracle within the contemporary scientific world view. The main tool in this process will be the cognitive standard model of the formation of religious beliefs operative in the cognitive science of religion. The application of this model shows why an intentional agent is assigned as responsible for the occurrence of events with no visible cause such as a miracle: miracles are events that violate the intuitively expected behaviors observable in the physical reality. It will become evident that much of the conceptual content of the classical understanding of miracles can be retained despite of the ontological and epistemological challenges of the contemporary science. In particular, this concerns the semantic view of miracles in which a miracle does not occur as an objective Divine intervention but qualifies as religious interpretation of the natural course of events always in reference to a cultural and personal context that is unique to those who directly experience these events either as direct recipients or as observers.

Do we need homelands? John Paul II’s ideal of the community of nations

Author(s): Jacek Grzybowski / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Since the 1990s, a discussion on the status, significance and role of nation state has been going on in many communities. In Europe, this discussion generated the opinion that the only hope for the divided world is to create a post-national, multi-cultural and cosmopolitically liberal society. Let us, however, ask: Does not the idea of a strong nation state return with practical force in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the price war between the US and China, as well as the world’s superpowers outer space and military plans? In our current context John Paul II’s teaching is worth reminding. In the time of difficult challenges, the properly conceived patriotism propagated by the Pope should become a model of a national and civil attitude. True European politicalness is connected with the community of fate, the fruit of which should be solidarity of action in the face of real threats. John Paul II was also aware of this responsibility. Today we know that nobody will replace nation states in this process and no central institutions will substitute a civil community formed by the nation in the execution of difficult tasks. Therefore, we may only repeat after John Paul II that the future of man depends on the family and the nation.

GOSPIN KULT NA OTOKU VISU U SVJETLU HRVATSKE TRADICIJSKE KULTURE

Author(s): Petra Božanić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 46/2020

Although the phenomenon of the cult of the Blessed Virgin Mary is notably present in Croatian Christian traditional and maritime culture, its affirmation on the island of Vis has remained in the shadow of other Mariological research. This paper aims to analyze the occurrence of the Marian cult on the island of Vis in the ethnological and cultural anthropological context to reconnoite the cult of Our Lady in the Vis area, including historical sources and own field notes from 2018 to 2020, which will testify to centuries-old dynamic roots of the cult of Our Lady on the island of Vis, imposing itself as an indispensable and valuable component of Croatian cultural heritage.
