Kazateľský úrad v kráľovských mestách Horného Uhorska v 16. a 17. storočí: očakávania mestskej komunity a cirkvi

Author(s): Peter Benka / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 6/2022

The article looks into tasks assigned to the preaching office in Protestant communities in towns of Upper Hungary in the 16th and 17th centuries (Pentapolitana league). It tackles the issue from the perspective of the history of ideas and contextual historical analysis. The analysis is based on a corpus of theological and normative texts of secular and religious character from the studied region. An outline of the theological frame (given by basic dogmatic texts) that for the Protestant communities served as the background for defining the nature of preaching office is followed by an analysis of expectations set by the representatives of the local church and town communities. Key to these are the matters of dogmatic orthodoxy and issues related to the contents of preaching, the expected social impact, and requirements set on preachers by secular and religious bodies. The article also outlines the opportunities and limitations for implementation of the idealised image of the preaching office in specific conditions of individual towns, especially with regards to educational and dogma-related requirements and the conflicting potential of preaching with respect to the secular power.

Biblická mýtizácia v autobiografckých dielach Štefana Pilárika

Author(s): Ingrid Papp / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 6/2022

The life of the Slovak Protestant priest and Baroque period author Štefan Pilárik (1615 – 1693) was filled with hardships. Pilárik was forced to convert by the Jesuits – and several times during his life at that –, in 1663, he was captured by the Tatars and Turks, and at the time the Protestant priests were persecuted, he was forced to leave the country. Pilárik described his sufferings in three texts bearing Latin titles: Sors Pilarikiana (1666), a poem written in Slovakized Czech and in German-language proses Currus Jehovae mirabilis (1678) and Turcico-Tartarica crudelitas (1684). These autobiographical stories are rare examples of early modern period autobiographical ego-documents written in the Kingdom of Hungary. As to the form and content, they followed the 17th-century Protestant preaching practice – the rhetorical and homiletic ways of creating the texts of sermon literature. The author was familiar with the inventive, dispositional, and elocutionary devices of the Lutheran homiletics and exegesis as formed by the Protestant theologians Philipp Melanchthon (1497 – 1560) and Andreas Gerhard Hyperius (1511 – 1564) and made them part of the systematising, interpretational, and expressive means he employed in his literary works.

Innerkonfessionelle Buchdistribution und Lesen in slowakischen Landgemeinden im josephinischen Zeitalter

Author(s): Ivona Kollárová / Language(s): German Issue: 02/2013

The paper studies networks built up by Protestant pastors under Joseph II in Upper Hungary, ie. today’s Slovakia, with the aim of publishing, translating, purchasing and disseminating books that did not exclusively belong in the religious domain. The correspondence between pastors shows that the transmission process did not always rely solely on the work of booksellers but also on inter personal relations. The difficulties and failures of some publishing projects due to their unsuitability for the readership pastors aimed at, give a rare and valuable indication of the (in)abilities and expectations of the rural readership in the time of Enlightenment.

Author(s): Maya Raykova-Hildegard / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

The Holy Liturgy is the expression of religious celebration within the Church. With regard to it, this article provides concise notes on the liturgical order used by Western and Eastern Catholics – specifically, the Roman rite for Western Catholics and the Byzantine rite for Eastern Catholics. It also discusses the types of celebrations in the history of the Church as to outline, though briefly, the origins of the modern peculiarities of the music that accompanies the two rituals.The Bulgarian Catholics have a distinctive culture and partly, aspects of everyday life that set them apart from their Eastern Orthodox countrymen. What is more, each Catholic community has unique ethno-cultural characteristics that have been shaped by the community’s interactions with West European Catholicism as well as it creation and development within the borders of Bulgaria.At the end of this article, on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of his birth, I have examined the theoretical and musical works of Petar Dinev, the great Bulgarian musicologist and theorist of Eastern Church music.

Hannah Arendt on the Augustinian Concept of Love

Author(s): Erzsébet Kerekes / Language(s): English Issue: 63/2022

This paper examines the influence of Augustine's work on Hannah Arendt's oeuvre. Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin. Versuch einer philosophischen Interpretation (1929), Arendt's dissertation on Augustine, is analyzed in order to understand how its key concepts continue to be operative in Arendt's later, mature works. The dissertation is relevant to the entire Arendtian oeuvre, as it deals with topics that were absorbed into Arendt's own thinking and help to identify the main nodes of her philosophical thought. This paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the impact of Augustine's work on Arendt's and contributes to the understanding of her thought as a whole.

Nopţi de Înviere

Author(s): Dan Ciachir / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 05/2024

Other guests of the Easter services in Bucharest were the Lebanese. The Easter holidays offered reasons for great joy, despite the difficult times under communism.

ÎNDUMNEZEIREA OMULUI ÎN CONTEXTUL PLURALISMULUI RELIGIOS ȘI AL EXTREMISMULUI: O EVALUARE BIBLICĂ A ANTROPOLOGIEI LUI DUMITRU STĂNILOAE

Author(s): Florin Matei / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2024

Understanding and evaluating Stăniloae’s anthropology and soteriology in a world marked by conflict and extremism can be of particular significance, offering us a new dimension of understanding what the human being and its potential can be. This theoretical and theological framework can be the means by which postmodern society can gain new perspectives of inter-religious understanding and harmony. By contrasting Eastern and Western theologies we gain new understandings of the reality of sin without falling into the trap of radicalism. The divine purpose and human dignity, as a result of this dialog between the two traditions, brings an enrichment of interreligious visions.

Százéves az unitárius énekeskönyv

Author(s): Sándor Kovács / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2024

Through an exploration of the editions of the hymnal published in 1924 by Márton Pálffi, this study provides insight into the reverence for tradition surrounding the hymnal, as well as the arduous but unsuccessful efforts made by those aiming to rejuvenate it. Politics often encroached upon the life of the Church, evident in the evolution of the hymnal. The changes of political power and country borders, as well as the imposition of communist censorship, have also significantly influenced the Unitarian hymnal. Despite all efforts, errors persisted in editions published post-1989. This research endeavours to trace these changes across a century of history.

Kísérlet a protestáns lelkészi szerepek konceptualizálására

Author(s): Róbert Zoltán Bálint / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 01/2023

In my text, I argue that the evolution of ministerial roles is influenced by the development of the church organization, social processes and expectations, and the pastor’s view of his/her vocation. While Protestant ministry and roles are shaped by these factors, the main role dimensions of Protestant ministry that emerged as a result of the Reformation have remained unchanged. Rather, the change can be seen in the shifting emphasis of the roles concerning each other and in their content. Alongside the stable existence of traditional and neo-traditional roles, there is a growing emphasis on so-called contemporary roles in ministry. In the Transylvanian context, this can be seen in the social role of the Protestant denominations that guides the religiousness of the minority Hungarian community, and in the community organizing, national identity strengthening, educational, cultural, and public activities of the ministers serving in the churches of these denomination.

Pictura bisericească exprimă credința comună a Bisericii Ortodoxe prin fidelitate tradițională și libertate misionară

Author(s): His Beatitude Daniel Patriarch of Romania / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3/2021

The 8th edition of the National Conference entitled Dogmatic unity and national specific character in the church painting organized by the Romanian Patriarchate, through the agency of the Department of culture and religious heritage, the church painting Committee, in pannership with the State Secretariate for Cults, intends to answer, from an interdisciplinary perspective - historical, theological and artistical, - to some necessities felt in the field of church painting and restoration, to bring up the subject of practical rules and basic principles necessary in the field of the church fine arts and restoration, so as to make possible the fulfilment of the liturgical and dogmatical function of a dwelling of cult. 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.

Kegyelem vagy természet? A Barth–Brunner-vita egy lehetséges megközelítése

Author(s): István Bacsó / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 5/2023

The Barth–Brunner debate is one of the most significant moments of the Protestant theological history in the 20th century. The replica-exchange of the two outstanding figures of dialectical theology in 1934 not only includes the theological centres of gravity of Karl Barth and Emil Brunner, but also gives insight into the sparkling theological and spiritual atmosphere of the 1930s. Brunner’s interpretation reveals a specific version of natural theology, while Barth, in the spirit of New Reformation Theology, expresses his position in terms of the authority of the Word. In this essay we explore the content of some points of the debate, but we also briefly reconstruct the circumstances of its origin, as well as we mention its history and evaluation in Transylvania.

Grija pentru cei morți în cultul și spiritualitatea ortodoxă

Author(s): Constantin Strugariu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3/2021

Jesus Christ's love makes fundamental a connection between the alive and those fallen asleep, that death cannot unbide. The intense connection of love joins together all the members of Christ's Church, those belonging to the struggling Church to those belonging to the heavenly Church as well as to the inhabitants of hell, who did not lose hope for the heavenly Kingdom. 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.

Idololatria Vilnensis: The Confessional Debates of Jesuits and Protestants on Sacred Images in the 16th Century Lithuania

Author(s): Tomas Riklius / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

Despite the abundance of theological treatises in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the late 16th century, only five of the eighty-six known titles deal with the use of sacred images and reveal the opposing sides of Catholics and Protestants in such confessional debates. The Protestant perspective is represented by Andrzej Wolan’s 1583 treatise ‘An Attack on the Idolatry of the Loyolites of Vilnius’, which relies primarily on theological arguments to criticise the Catholic practice of using sacred images. Wolan’s critique, while rooted in theology, also touched on the Renaissance humanist perspective on aesthetics to question the sensual appeal of Catholic sacred art. In response, the Catholic theologian Andrzej Jurgiewicz defended the use of sacred images, emphasising their role as visual witnesses of Catholic tradition in a post-Tridentine aesthetic paradigm. This article analyses these theological and aesthetic arguments of Wolan and Jurgiewicz found in treatises representing Catholic and Protestant positions in the polemical debates on the use of sacred images in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the late 16th century.
