The anthropological challenges and perspectives. of the missionary image of man, in particular on the pastoral vocation. In this study, we scrutinize whether the revolutionary changes in mission theology suggested by David Bosch three decades ago have indeed taken root in the distinct context of Transylvania, through a blend of theological and philosophical discourse. Simultaneously, we endeavor to make sense of the rapid transformation occurring globally and within our own borders, interpreting it through contemporary anthropological theory and aligning it with missiological insights. The paper will also dissect the systematic theological implications of developing a Reformed theological anthropology, and then consider the pastoral ramifications and vocational prospects for fostering a more biblically accurate portrayal of man.

Ez az előadás Péter első levelének azon összefüggéseit emeli ki, amelyekben a szerző a keresztyén identitás eszkatologikus megalapozását nyújtja. Ennek az identitásnak a sarokpontját pedig az 1Pt 2,2-ben találjuk: „mint újszülött csecsemők a hamisítatlan lelki tejet kívánjátok, hogy azon növekedjetek az üdvösségre”. Amint látni fogjuk, ezek az összefüggések a homo viator kérdésfelvetéseivel metszik egymást, de bizonyos ponton azt meg is haladják.
