Este o senzație teribilă pentru predicatorii practicanți să constate că metodele testate și ani de zile funcționale par să fie învechite, iar tipurile de predicări care păreau altădată eficiente sunt acum întâmpinate cu priviri plictisite și puterea lor de motivare de odinioară pare să fi dispărut. În astfel de momente, pastorii și specialiștii în omiletică încep să caute idei noi și inovatoare, pentru a putea pre-dica cu succes Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu. În bisericile protestante mainstream americane (bisericile metodiste, epis-copale, lutherane, prezbiteriene, etc.) această perioadă a fost numită „turnura narativă”. Părea că acesta ar fi fost răspunsul adecvat la multele probleme din predicarea americană care – s-a spus – a intrat în criză în anii '60 și '70.

Rolf Theobold Kurzzeit-seelsorge című könyvének első hat fejezete főként a rövid tartamú lelkigondozás elméleti megalapozását tartalmazza. A könyv következő fejezeteinek tartalmi ismertetése a rövid tartamú lelkigondozás gyakorlatának ismertetése során fog nagyobb hangsúlyt kapni. Az elméleti megalapozása során betekintést nyerhettünk Milton Erickson és utódai által kidolgozott rövid terápia azon lépéseibe, amelyek alapját képezik a rövid tartamú lelkigondozói beszélgetésnek is. Ezen kívül a szerző külön alfejezetben tárgyalja a rendszerszemlélet és a konstruktivizmus alapjait, amelyek a rövid tartamú lelkigondozás filozófiai hátterét képező elméletek. Timm H. Lohse Villámbeszélgetések című könyvére többször is történik utalás, ugyanis ez alap referencia egy olyan szintű lelkigondozói beszélgetésnek, amely jó, ha a rövid idő ellenére is hatásosnak bizonyul.

This paper is an expanded and somewhat more elaborated version of an earlier study in which I tried to give a general overview on the word-usage concerning the passion of Jesus Christ in the early Christian creeds. The purpose of this short paper is in part to give a comparative presentation of the sufferings of Lord Jesus Christ in the Western Creeds, and in part I also try to define the role of mentioning the name of Pontius Pilatus in them.

In this short paper I would like to provide a comparative analysis of the passages concerning the passion of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Early Christian confessions (among them the Apostolic Creed1 as well), because these passages are frequently the source of theological misunderstanding and debates. The main question which urged me to do this research had occurred in relation with the Apostolic Creed. How do we say correctly: ‘I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell…’ or ‘I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered, under Pontius Pilate He was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell…’? I shall try to answer this question by analysing the relevant passages of the creeds which were composed in the first six centuries.
