In this dissertation I would like to present an extract from Philipp Melanchthon's work Catechesis puerilis. I translated part of the work from Latin into Hungarian. The work, Catechesis puerilis, is quite distinct from Martin Luther's well-known Small Catechism. However, their objective is the same: to teach the knowledge of the Christian faith. Philipp Melanchthon begins the catechesis with a grammar lesson for school-age children. I have divided my dissertation into five major units. The first part is about the life of Philipp Melanchthon. I will briefly talk about his childhood, his school years, and then about his personality, his family and his family life. I am interested in what Melanchthon was like as a child, who were the people who helped him, who took him in, so to speak. In the second part I talk about Melanchthon as a teacher. I was curious to know what Melanchthon was like as a teacher.

Jelen dolgozatunkban a keresztyén tökéletességgel foglalkoztunk Pál apostolnak a Filippi levél 3. fejezete alapján. Jóllehet Pál a tökéletesség fogalmát a Filippi levélben csak egyszer használja, a levél harmadik fejezete alapján háromféle tökéletességi minta bontakozik ki előttünk. Témáját és hangvételét tekintve a Fil 3 jól elkülönül a levél egészétől, így a keresztyén tökéletesség jellegéről és lényegéről ennek a fejezetnek a tüzetes vizsgálata alapján mondhatunk valamit. Dolgozatunkban tehát mindenekelőtt a Fil 3 áll a figyelmünk középpontjában.
