Nowotestamentowe osobowe określenia identyfikacyjne

Author(s): Rafał Zarębski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article is devoted to New Testament personal names which, on the basis of Polish translations, have an ambiguous onimic status. The analysis covered anthroponymic nominations and descriptions defined in terms of the degree of saturation with their propriality: from the closest appeals, e.g. Son of God (which, thanks to individual reference, may approach the category of proper names), through names of offices and dignities indicating specific persons, e.g. Rabbi, nicknames, e.g. Christ, Minor on specific descriptions, e.g. Jesus of Nazareth and patronymics, e.g. Joseph son of David. It has been shown that the saturation of the text with terms of this type, derived from the original, is not only about the biblical specificity of the translation, but can also enrich the stylistic layer of the translation.

Wartość stylistyczna nazw geograficznych w polskich przekładach "Nowego Testamentu"

Author(s): Rafał Zarębski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The aim of the article is to describe the relationship between the linguistic shape of geographical names and the stylistic plane of old and contemporary Polish translations of the New Testament. The most typical procedures modifying the toponymic layer of both the Greek original and the Latin Vulgate include: removing or leaving obsolete nomenclature structures, e.g. Mountain, called Olive // Mountain of Olives, avoiding various variants of the same name in favor of one form, e.g. Achaea, Greece> Greece, striving for nomenclature precision, e.g. Antioch> Syrian Antioch, removing or adding appeals that indicate the type of a named object, e.g. Nazareth // city of Nazareth, translation, e.g. the Decapolis> Dziesięciogród, or translocation of names, e.g. Abilene. The result of these techniques are sometimes contradictory tendencies to: modernizing the forms to achieve greater communicativeness of the text, respect for the translation tradition, care for the local color of the events described in the New Testament. As a result of the observations made, it turned out that the solutions used by translators in relation to geographical names can shape the style of the text.

Nazwy geograficzne w polskich przekładach biblijnych jako problem badawczy

Author(s): Rafał Zarębski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article discusses the most important issues in the field of linguistic characteristics of geographical names in old (created mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries) and newer (created in the 20th century) translations of the New Testament. The linguistic form of a given name in a specific translation depends on two types of factors: extra-linguistic (translation source, translation strategy, attitude to the translation tradition, confessional affiliation) and intra-linguistic (translocation of the name in its original form, e.g. Derben <Greek Δέρβην, Latin in Derben, linguistic adaptation, e.g. do Derby, do Derbena, translation, e.g. Czaszka, Trupia Głowa, Łysa Głowa, Łyśnia <Greek: Κρανίον, Latin Calvariae). The choice of a specific linguistic form of a toponymy, resulting from the action of factors belonging to both groups, largely shapes the stylistic and pragmatic layer of translations.

Polskie przekłady Biblii w okresie Reformacji

Author(s): Tadeusz Krzysztof Sznajderski / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article dispels the myth that the Reformation caused interest in the Bible through critical activity of Martin Luther. The humanism of the 15th century, in the first stage of the Renaissance, through the works of Jan Gerson, Erasmus of Rotterdam, Thomas Morus, Laurentino Vall, focused interest on the Bible philosophical study, and on popularizing it in national languages. The golden era of the Polish Bible is constituted by publishing the New Testament translated by Stanisław Murzynowski in 1553, issuing the Leopolita’s Bible — the first Polish Bible translated by Jan Nicz Leopolita for the Catholic Church in 1561, editing the Jakub Wujek Bible in 1599 for Jesuits and the Gdańsk Bible in 1632, translated by Daniel Mikołajewski.

Enjeux littéraires, bibliques et rhétoriques dans le discours liminaire des épopées apocalyptiques renaissantes

Author(s): Dariusz Krawczyk / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

The aim of this article is to analyse the prefaces to the French Renaissance apocalyptic epics of the years 1576-1606 (works by Jacques de Billy, Guillaume de Chevalier, Michel Quillian and Jude Serclier) in order to understand the literary and extra-literary issues addressed by their authors. This comparison will highlight in particular the ethos of the author, the problem of representation in a biblical poem and its eschatological dimension, the place of pagan fiction and encyclopaedic erudition, and the rhetorical strategies employed.

L’art de vivre ensemble. Le quotidien des chrétiens et musulmans au temps de la guerre civile algérienne dans les écrits de Christian de Chergé

Author(s): Jędrzej Pawlicki / Language(s): French Publication Year: 0

Collected in the volume “L’Invincible espérance”, Christian de Chergé’s writings address the theme of mercy in the Christian Bible and in the Koran. De Chergé described also the practices of Christian life in a Muslim country. Hence my reflection followed in two stages: first, I propose to see the theological concepts of the author, anchored in the study of biblical and Koranic texts, in the spirit of religious pluralism, and then, to analyze the modes of living together of Christians among Muslims at the time of rupture. In this second part, I am inspired by the rule of Saint Benedict and the work of Michel de Certeau who perceives daily practices as an act of resistance.

Patterns of Repentance in Luke’s Gospel, underlined in Prayers of Preparation to receive Holy Communion

Author(s): Ilie Melniciuc-Puică / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The Gospel of Luke, with its universal message addressed to Jews and Gentiles alike, has been an “invitation” to Christian introspection and fortification. Christian cultic ministry has recorded the reception of the biblical text in its most condensed form, the history of the reception of the biblical text being carefully filtered. This study traces how events recorded in the Gospel of Luke have become paradigms of repentance over time in the preparation of the believer for Holy Communion. We have, therefore, the 24 chapters of St. Luke's Gospel and the 12 prayers preceding Holy Communion. Word-marks introduce the reader to the state of mind of the sinful woman, the prodigal son, the tax collector Zacchaeus and the robber (κακοῦργος) who has “repented”.

Coordonate exegetice pe marginea unui text controversat: Iezechiel 20, 25

Author(s): Marius Magherca / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Dans cette étude j’ai essayé de déchiffrer l’un des plus difficiles textes du livre duprophète Ezéchiel (20,25), qui a soulevé de nombreuses controverses dans le groupe desexégètes juifs, mais aussi parmi les exégètes chrétiens. Le verset fait partie d’un amplediscours où le prophète expose une véritable « théologie de l’histoire » du peuple d’Israël, secondé de moments de chute de celui-ci qui sont gravement sanctionnés. Le message de Dieu transmis par l’intermédiaire d’Ezéchiel ne peut être déchiffré que dans la lumière de lacompréhension exacte de la Loi mosaïque qui est « pédagogue vers le Christ » (Gal. 3,24).

Modul de raportare al Sfântului Grigorie Palama la Sfânta Scriptură

Author(s): Sofian Gaman / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Regarding the way Saint Gregory Palamas interacts with the Holy Scripture we notice that he is similar to other Great Fathers of the Church before him, for the reason that, when he refers to the word of God expressed in the Scriptures, he constantly seeks the correct exposition of the dogmas or the spiritual benefit of his readers; and he is not concerned about doing critical exegesis on the text. This study presents some particular aspects which reveal the mode Saint Gregory Palamas approaches the Holy Scripture: the view on the corpus of the writings contained in the Holy Scripture as a unitary whole, the adjectives used for describing the Scripture, the quotation from the text or the simple references to a certain passage, the revealing character of the Bible and the authority of its content and the personal interaction of Saint Gregory Palamas with the truth expressed by the Holy Scripture.

Călătoria Sf. Pavel în Arabia (Gal. 1, 15-17): scop, durată, importanță

Author(s): Andrei Zlăvog / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The call of Paul by Christ to the apostolate, but also the reception of this call, are essential moments in the complex process of transforming a candidate into an apostle. Stating that “...the most important ones did not add anything to my Gospel” Gal. 2: 6b, it is necessary to find out the way in which Paul came into possession of the evangelical truths, after the moment of conversion, which is also the moment of his call to the apostolate. By other means and under other conditions, Paul enjoyed a training similar to that of the Twelve. Considering that the Apostle's training took place over a longer period of time,beginning with the time of revelation on the road to Damascus, a period omitted entirely byLuke in Acts 9, but mentioned by Paul in Gal. 1:17b, this research seeks to determine thepurpose, duration and significance of Paul's journey to Arabia.Comparative analysis of the comments on the Acts of the Apostles by Craig Keener,N.T. Wright, Ajith Fernando and the comments on the Epistle to the Galatians by VasileMihoc and Mihai Ciurea, provide pertinent answers to the unknown aspects of St. Paul'spresence in Arabia, proving through indisputable testimonies the divine origin of theapostolate and the evangelical message.

Symeon. The “New Theologian”. A Sign of Contradiction

Author(s): Pablo Argárate / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Symeon is representative of Christian maximalism, which makes no concessions to human weakness. Preacher of the μετάνοια, in love with Christ, he directs himself entirely to the vision of God or the vision of light. Therefore, on every page of his writing, he never tires of asking his readers and listeners to renounce everything in order to receive the Holy Spirit. Only through the possession of the Spirit is the perfect transformation to be achieved, which makes us into gods.

Contemporanii Sfântului Grigorie Palama. Perspectivă istorică și teologică

Author(s): Cristian-Alexandru BARNEA / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

He who delves into the writings of St. Gregory Palamas and strives to understand the meaning of his theology, cannot fail to remain, at one point, amazed by the beauty of such inspired and enlightened thinking, contemplating the richness of Godʼs work through the people who are opening themselves to him with all their being. Meeting Saint Gregory Palamas through his writings and knowing his life will always raise the question: how did a man manage to reach such an experience of spiritual life? How did he enlarge his heart to accommodate so much light of divine grace? What were the important moments in his life that brought him so close to God, but, above all, who were the people who shaped the personality of the great Thessalonian hierarch throughout his life?

Două practici ale vieții duhovnicești: atenția asupra propriei vieți și starea de priveghere. Importanța lor în viața duhovnicească

Author(s): Alexandru Crețu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The importance of paying attention to one's life is important because it is meant to keep the believer more and more from remaining in the way of the Lord. In the writings of the New Testament, the phrase „remembering yourself” is used at least eight times, and in three of these places it is used by the Savior Jesus Christ. In the writings of the New Testament, the call to vigilance refers, on the one hand, to the vigilance or wakefulness of the body (to dedicate that time to prayer), and, on the other hand, to the vigilance of the soul, mind, or conscience. to be prepared for the battle with the enemy and always ready to leave this world). This exhortation was used by the Savior in His tenfold speeches, and in the rest of the New Testament writings we find it used at least ten more times. By the exhortations to watch over the body, the Savior did not mean a permanent deprivation of sleep, but the prolongation of the waking state of the body in order to to dedicate that time to prayer.

A missionary perspective of the importance that spiritual growth has in the lives of the faithful in accordance to the writings of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian

Author(s): Simeon Purice / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper analyses from a missionary perspective, in accordance to the writings of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian, the importance that spiritual growth has in the lives of the faithful. The growth of the Church can be explained through the synergic collaboration of God with man, through the appropriation of the gospel by the faithful, who were models of Christ to the people of the world. Thus, the mission was fulfilled through the exemplary lives of Christians, the love of God being made accessible to them for the ones of the world. Expressing their faith through an authentic spirituality, Christians taught there neighbours righteousness, simplicity and innocence. They showed the world a certain way of living, but also of dying. They were present and in solidarity with their society, but also harmonizing their lives with the exigence of the gospel. The height of the spiritual lives of the faithful is a historical permanentization of the reality of the incarnation of the Son of God in the world, making possible the mission of the Church by the Grace of the Holy Spirit.

«As an Angel of Light», Imagination and Discernment at Prayer. An Essay in Comparison between Diadochus of Photike and Symeon the New Theologian

Author(s): Marcelo Singh / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In 2 Corinthians 11: 14 Saint Paul warns us about the tricks of Satan that can disguise himself as an angel of light. The exegesis of this text raises in some authors a reflection about the necessity of discernment during prayer. Imagination could bring confusion and misunderstanding, and could particularly become an open door for the bad spirit into the human soul. This is the problem that Diadochus of Photike points out. In his One Hundred practical texts, he explicitly refers to the Angel of Light (chapter 40). First, I intend to read this expression in the context of the same work, including a fundamental study of “imagination” (φαντασία) and “discernment” (διάκρισις). For the second part, I will introduce the exegesis of 2 Corinthians in Symeon the New Theologian, taking his teaching of Ethics XV, 89 as a basis: «Taste and see that who is darkness, presents himself to the imagination in the form of an angel of light» (ἄγγελον φωτός).

The ascetic dimensions of the prayer within the theology of Saint Simeon the New Theologian

Author(s): Cristian Petcu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

For Saint Simeon the New Theologian, the prayer is a spiritual path by means of which the one who chooses to follow this path destroys the passions of the body. In the thoughts of the holy father, the prayer is not a work that belongs to the human mind or that pertains to reason by which man intuitively follows the path of life received as a gift from God, as it is neither just an expression of the heart that expresses the need to be in dialogue with God, but represents a whole range of manifestations of light by means of which the soul of the believer unites with God in holy communion. The prayer, in the vision of Saint Simeon, is the path that bestows upon man the joy and peace of the Holy Spirit, with the aid of which the feeling of solitude is banished and the certainty of the divine omnipresence is acquired. As such, the prayer remains a model of conscientiousness and uplifting of life, as well as the virtuous way of living, which spiritually nourishes the faith and the love as well as for God as for all fellow human beings. Therefore, for Saint Simeon the New Theologian, the prayer is the best argument for taking the path of Jesus Christ, the One Who enlightens by means of prayer the reason of man, which helps him to delve into the depths of scriptural and church teachings and which becomes the source of all spiritual joys. In this study, we aim to highlight the importance of the ascetic model of Saint Simeon the New Theologian, a model by means of which this Father of the Holy Church put prayer in a whole new light from the perspective of seeing God within light.

In the context of the Homage Year of prayer in the life of the Church and of the christian and of the Commemorative Year dedicated to the Hesychast saints Simeon the New Theologian, Grigore Palama and Paisie from Neamț Monastery dedicated by the Romanian Patriarchate, the sight of divine light is an essential theme, both to the hesychastic saints. The hesychastic saints' concern for man's intimate encounter with God through prayer is so obvious that their life, work, and social work confirm that the spiritual life of the Orthodox Christian cannot be lived without aspiring to the sight of divine light.

Prima anafora antiohiană a celor doisprezece apostoli. Sursă liturgică primară cvasicunoscută în spațiul românesc

Author(s): Ammar Awad / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Since the twenties of the last century, the Anaphora of the Apostles, which is the subject of this study, has been the focus of attention of liturgical scholars. This is due to Patriarch Rahmani's discovery of the striking similarity between it and the Byzantine anaphora of St. John Chrysostom. Throughout all these years, this anaphora has been considered a primary tool for researching the history of the anaphora of St. John Chrysostom, especially in the absence of historical evidence supporting the authenticity of this well-known Byzantine liturgy. This article is concerned with presenting the role of the Apostles' anaphora, not merely as a research tool, as just mentioned, but rather as a basic liturgical source that rises in value to the importance of the earliest Christian liturgical sources, and which has played a crucial role in the history of Christian worship, and which deserves to be studied in greater depth. This study also provides the Romanian theological academic circles with the translation of the anaphora from Syriac, the language in which the text has been preserved and has been handed to us; it also helps those who wish to deepen this research process and reach new discoveries.

Istoricul și dezvoltarea liturgică a Praznicului Întâmpinării Domnului în Răsărit. Celebrare și integrare în cult

Author(s): Iuliana Timofti / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

This study aims to present the history of the feast celebrating the Presentation of the Lord at the Temple (otherwise called the Hypapante feast, from the Gr. Ὑπαπαντή - meeting) in the Eastern part of the Christendom from a theological and a liturgical perspective, until its official adoption in the Church calendar. At the beginning, the Hypapante feast was merely known as the „fortieth day after the Epiphany”, as Egeria notes in the oldest record of this celebration, marked – from the first moment – by great joy and solemnity as on any of the dominical feasts. Later, the date of the celebration will be established by imperial decree and the festal hymnography will be fixed.
