A KATAKOMBAFESTMÉNYEK MINT „VIZUÁLIS PRÉDIKÁCIÓK” ÉRTELMEZÉSE

Author(s): Olga Lukács / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2019

Several viewpoints took shape about the pictures and icons during the history of Christianity. The image representations have been subject to debate not only among religions but among the various Christian approaches, too. This debate flamed up quite strongly in different times in history.The study aims to determine the extent to which the icons and representations are rooted in Christian tradition. The study points out that early Christian art did not appear and develop in a void. It was the outward manifestation of a new spirituality as well as the result of a development process that occurred when the local cultures of the ancient world got in contact with each other.It is essential to point out that in icon painting as well as in the paintings in the catacombs the message of the icons was also perfectly grasped by those who did not study painting or were not very skillful painters, but still observed the iconographic traditions while those who the painting were addressed to accepted them. One can assess Early Christian art by the very few frescos remaining in the catacombs in Rome.They used pagan symbols as well as some themes of Greek and Roman mythology in order to convey the teachings of the church. They also used the ancient forms of art, loading them with a new content subsequently altering the respective forms as well. The art of the catacombs was actually dogmatic art since the theme depicted on the frescos mostly followed the texts of the scripture. Furthermore, the symbolic language had a paramount importance. The works of art created in the first centuries can also be considered as “visual sermons” that helped them explain God verbally and drive them to God.

Author(s): Zsolt Geréb / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2015

This article is a study on Peter's so-called household codes (Haustafeln), summarising the ethical values of Christians. These admonitions can only be understood properly when the literary context is taken into account.

A Lk 24,31 és a 2Tim 4,17 grammatikai megoldásainak háttere és üzenete

Author(s): Sándor Enghy / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2019

Luke 24:31 relies on 2 Kgs 6:17. The terminology used in the Syriac Peshitta Old Testament translation and the Greek Septuagint can be recognised behind the Syriac Peshitta and Hebrew New Testament translations. The morphological forms are passed on to the New Testament via the mediation of the Septuagint, although the verbal forms also expose the knowledge of the Samaritan Pentateuch. The intertextual relations of 2 Tim 4:17–18 suggest that this text is a summary of the entire Pauline corpus and, in a certain sense, the entire Scripture as well.

Author(s): István Márton Bekő / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2018

Bei der Betrachtung des Textes von Mk 4,35–41 verwendet der Author die Begriffe des rezeptionskritischen Modelles, wie Empfänger, Leerstelle, implizierte Leser, Leserenzyklopädie usw. Die leserorientierten Aspekte sind mit den historisch-kritischen Ergebnissen verbunden. Die christologische und soteriologische Fragestellungen des Textes sind im Zusammenhang mit der Lebenssituation der Adressaten präsentiert. Der Versuch einer Auslegung aus der Perspektive der Erstleser/innen zu verfassen, bringt die Wundererzählung in die Verfassungszeit zurück, und öffnet Dialog zwischen den heutigen und damaligen Lesern/innen des Evangeliums.

A páli levelek eszkatológiájának néhány vonása a hellenisztikus sírszövegek kontextusában

Author(s): István M. Ledán / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 6/2017

In this paper we present almost twenty ancient greek funeral inscriptions from the period of 4th–3rd centuries BC and 3rd–4th centuries AD. Our aim is to set the eschatology of four Pauline letters (1Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Corinthians and Filippians) in the context of Hellenistic after-life concepts, and to establish the possible parallels and analogies. We hope that through this attempt we could understand better, firstly the „belief-package” of Hellenistic Christianity, secondly the situation of Christiam message in the context of Hellenism, and finally the shaping of Pauline eschatology.

A politika bibliai alapjai a Dán 4 összefüggésében

Author(s): Sándor Enghy / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2016

This article considers the theme of politics from the perspective of Dan 4. YHWH gives people power of which they can take advantage. This power is controlled and judged by YHWH, who, on his turn, looks for human representatives who understand His will. The tree surrounded by a band (Dan 4:12) points to the possibility of perseverance in the judgment,which is proclaimed by means of human agents. Anyone dreaming of a better policy has to be-come YHWH’s servant which requires humility and obedience.

A PRÉDIKÁCIÓ A LITURGIÁBAN

Author(s): Szabolcs Szetey / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2019

In the present paper, I examine the relationship between preaching and liturgy. I only focus on preaching in the services on Sundays and feasts. First of all, I offer an overview of Hungarian Reformed theoretical and practical liturgical books, service books, and books of liturgics concerning the relationship between preaching and liturgy from the 16th century to the recent days. The importance of preaching overshadows the liturgical function of the sermon; prayers, church music, hymns, and psalms are consequently losing relevance in the worship. The theoretical and practical books emphasize consistently, that the preaching must be presented and regarded as one of the elements of the liturgy/service. Preaching takes place within the service; the sermon has to be based on and contacted all the liturgical elements of the congregation’s worship. Balance between preaching and liturgy should be discovered, and established in order to worthily celebrate our services.

A Synthesis of Temple Theology in Hebrews

Author(s): Mieczysław Michał Mikołajczak / Language(s): English / Issue: 17/2010

Analiza teologiczna „Listu do Hebrajczyków”, pozwala mówić o zawartej w nim teologii świątyni. Autor w przedstawionym artykule ukazuje, że jest ona ściśle związana z Osobą Jezusa Chrystusa. Opracowanie ukazuje, że świątynia służy, jako tło kontrastowe do uwypuklenia tego co było niedoskonale i tego co następuje po niej jako doskonałe. Synteza teologii świątyni została ukazana, poprzez kontrastowe zestawienie relacji Hbr na ten temat – do Starego i Nowego Przymierza. Autor opracowania prezentuje uzyskane wnioski parenetyczne. Skończył się czas instytucji religijnej Starego Testamentu - świątyni. Jej miejsce zajął Jezus Chrystus Arcykapłan Nowego Przymierza, który skupia wokół siebie Lud Boży Nowego Testamentu, który prowadzi ludzkość do zbawienia. Stąd też, życie chrześcijan, członków tej Wspólnoty, tego Nowego Ludu na trudnej drodze do wiecznej ojczyzny powinno cechować naśladowanie Chrystusa oraz wytrwałość w wierze, w cierpieniach I prześladowaniach, oparte na niezłomnej nadziei, że w tej pielgrzymce niezawodnym wodzem jest Chrystus. Jezus jest kimś więcej niż świątynia, bowiem wypełnia i zastępuje jej czas i istnienie w swojej osobie. w Osobie Bożego Syna.

A Szentírás antropológiai fogalmai

Author(s): György Papp / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 3/2015

In this paper we provide a short semantic analysis of the most important anthropological terms of the Bible. By this analysis we would like to point out that in the biblical anthropological view humans cannot be divided into either two or three parts, but they are unitary beings. What we call flesh (body), soul and spirit (or mind) are not independent substances but rather different aspects of manifestation of the same being. On the one side, we see that terms denoting the soul, body or spirit can also refer the whole man as well. On the other side, the Bible does not provide pure anthropology, because anthropology always appears in the context of other important topics of theology (hamartology, soteriology, etc.).

A szeretet himnuszának diakrón elemzése a Magyar Bibliafordításokban

Author(s): Brigitta Szalma / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2016

The paper analyses St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians chapter 13, namely the well-known anthem of love in the different Hungarian Bible translations. The aim of the research is to compare the texts of the Döbrentei and Érdy Codices, and draw a parallel between the reading of the St. Paul›s letters in the translation of Benedek Komjáthy and the translations of János Sylvester, Gáspár Károli and György Káldi. The first part of the paper – by properly contextualising the translations of the analysed text – briefly presents the given historical age, in which the translation of the examined text was made, and presents the significant linguistic phenomena of the era. According to the author, the six text corpus compared can be interpreted as phases of standardization of the Hungarian language; the religious-denominational differences influenced the spelling of the texts on a large scale, simultaneously the historical and cultural historical events had considerable effect on the formation of text translations.

A tizenkét kispróféta könyve mint összefüggő irodalmi alkotás

Author(s): Katalin Koncz-Vágási / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2012

Über die Analyse des Zwölfprophetenbuches ist zur Zeit das redaktionsgeschichtliche diachron und das endtextlich orientierte synchron Modell beherrschend. Beide Grundhaltungen fangen anderswo an und auch ihre Methoden sind unterschiedlich. Doch sind ihre Ergebnisse darin deckungsgleich die Zwölf Propheten mehr als eine Anthologie der voneinander unabhängigen Bücher anzusehen. Nach der Übersicht der anfänglichen Forschungsgeschichte (Kapitel 1.) und nach dem Überblick der reaktionsgeschichtlichen (Kapitel 2.), beziehungsweise der endtextlich orientierten (Kapitel 3.) Annäherung stellt die Autorin fest, dass auf dem Forschungsgebiet der Zwölf Propheten beide Methoden mitsamt angewandt werden müssen. Es ist nämlich dementsprechend vermeidlich die Tiefgründigkeit des redaktionsgeschichtlichen Models zu verzetteln,des Weiteren können die Fallen der extremen Simplifikation der synchronen Annäherung vermieden werden. (Kapitel 4.)

A történeti Jézus radikális viszonyulása a nőkhöz

Author(s): Szabolcs Czire / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2016

During the first century women’s status and freedom was strictly limited by Jewish law and custom. And there is no attempt within the gospel and later the New Testament traditions to feature the role of women. Th erefore, the high number of references to women in the Jesus tradition is historically intriguing in itself. It shows unmistakably that Jesus’ attitude towards women can certainly be called radical or revolutionary.We find several specifi c references to women disciples. We see Jesus addressing women directly while in public. Contrary to the rabbis and other teachers of the day, we see him using illustrations of his teaching, where women are presented as positive spiritual examples and role models. We see Jesus defending women before hostile religious leaders and a furious multitude, and using the unheard phrase “daughter of Abraham”. We see a Jesus who extends honor and respect to all women. He teaches that women are men’s equals in the sight of God, and they also can receive God’s forgiveness and love. We see a Jesus who never treats an individual woman as merely a member of a class of people, but as a person in her own right, assuming that they are a part of Israel and are sharing in the new reality of the Kingdom of God.

A tudományos írásmagyarázat szükségessége és módja

Author(s): Zoltán Kustár / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 5/2016

A dolgozat a biblika-egzegézis, teológiai, hermeneutikai és tudományos-történelmi kérdéseivel foglalkozik. Miért van szüksége a Biblia értelmezésére, és miért lenne tudományos? E kérdések szerint a történeti-kritikai exegézis a legmegfelelőbb módszer a bibliai szövegek értelmezésére, valamint a strukturális, olvasóközpontú és tárgyi módszerek szerepére a homiletikában.

A VILÁGKÉP ÉS A VILÁGSZEMLÉLET MEGKÜLÖNBÖZTETÉSE A VALLÁSPEDAGÓGIÁBAN

Author(s): Dávid Németh / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2019

In the field of practical theology from a Christian pedagogical perspective we have to make a clear distinction between world picture (describing empirical reality) and worldview (determining personal affection to the first one). While the science based world picture tends to be as objective representation of our actual world as is could be, the worldview is hermeneutical system based upon principles, ideas and values. In most cases, mixing up these two notions cause tensions between faith and natural science. In order to clarify some points of differentiation and also reference to each other, this study investigates the two notions in the context of religious education.

A ZENE HATÁSA AZ ÉRTELMI ÉS AZ ÉRZELMI INTELLIGENCIÁRA

Author(s): Lajos Király / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2019

This study analyses the effect of music on aesthetic and emotional intelligence. Since creativity also means healing creation at the same time that implies digging deeper and transcendence as well, we would like to talk about the therapeutic effects of music with an intercommunication outlook. Some state that musicality is inborn and coded into our genes, which we call talent that can be further developed and transferred to the following generation. According to others, musicality and the ability to play and sing is not merely a matter of genetics but also the social and cultural background the individual grew up in is very important. We shall see that there are cultures in which music is the sole instrument with which the individual can adapt into the respective culture. Many deem that music is the “peak of human intellect and emotionality”, and that is why many studies were published in the second half of the 20th century about its effects on intellectual and emotional development. In what follows, we shall also talk about the debated Mozart effect, the biological basis of music and the stimulation of logical thinking. By music, the help, the counselor, the attender, the priest have a tool with which they can positively influence cognition, the expression of feelings, the development of creativity, whilst „the effects of the expansive transfer prevails through the intellectual, emotional and motivational changes”. But for all that, we must be familiar with the effects of music on intellectual and emotional intelligence.
