În acest eseu, îmi propun să conturez doctrina referitoare la întruparea lui Isus Hristos așa cum este reflectată în cele mai semnificative crezuri ale creștinismului. Totuși, pentru a înțelege evoluția acestei doctrine, voi începe prin a prezenta câteva imagini din lumea primelor declarații asemănătoare cu crezul care au apărut în perioada post-biblică.

I invite the reader to take a journey into the theological world of two little treatises written by one of the most interesting ecclesiastical figures of the fifth century coming from the Antiochene tradition: Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrus.

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it sets the historical context in which Aphrahat wrote his Demonstrations and deals with the interesting relationship between his writings, ‘against the Jews’ and the Sassanian persecution of Christians. It also treats his refutation of the Jewish charges. Secondly, it addresses his ‘unique’ view of christology which is not in line with the Nicene decision concerning one aspect yet at the same time it is congruent with it. The paper also tries to point out that his view on christology was ‘unique’ but not exceptional in the Early Church.

2011-ben lehetőségem nyílt, hogy csaknem fél évet töltsek Nepálban, bekapcsolódva az ott végzett szolgálatba, és arra hogy alaposabban tanulmányozhassam az ott élő khám-magar népcsoportot, valamint a köztük végzett és végzendő missziói munkát. Dolgozatom célja a nepáli khám-magar népcsoport történelmi, társadalmi kontextusának, vallásának és kultúrájának rövid bemutatása, a nepáli misszió történetének és jelenkori helyzetének vizsgálata, a misszió lehetőségének és módjának feltárása. A személyes tapasztalataimon és megfigyeléseimen alapuló bemutatás gyakorlati segítséget nyújthat a már ott szolgáló vagy a jövőben szolgálatot vállaló misszionáriusoknak.
