A dolgozat főként a bővölködés teológiájának kérdését tárgyalja, ugyanis a vallási dimenzió kérdésében talán ez tekinthető a legjelentősebb kérdéskörnek a Yoidói Teljes Evangéliumi Egyház (Yoido Full Gospel Church – YFGC) történetét és szerepét illetően a dél-koreai vallási színtéren. Ezért a tanulmány először Kate Bowler kanadai származású, protestáns teológiai hátterű kutató Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel című könyvét használva vezérfonálként igyekszik feltárni a bővölködés-teológia történetét és sajátosságait, és a szellemtörténeti, teológiatörténeti és társadalomtörténeti megközelítéseket figyelembevételével mutatja be a bővölködés-teológia létrejöttének észak-amerikai kontextusát. Ezt követően feltérképezi, hogy milyen utakon jutott el ez a teológiai irányzat Dél-Korea protestáns keresztyén közösségeihez.

Miklós Telegdi, a Roman Catholic bishop of the reformation period, was an important figure of his generation. The confessional guide of his Agendarius, first published in 1583 in nagyszombat (Trnava, now in Slovakia), is particular as to its structure and content. in Hungary, this is the first penitential guide that was written in a unique style, including vernacular parts and containing exhortations in a large number. The confessional includes a text discussing the strict obligation on the seal of confession as well as a confession mirror which, according to its genre, is a tool of individual self-examination. In my paper, I attempt to answer the question whether Telegdi’s confessional guide is only unique from a national point of view or also in a wider, international context.

The Disputation of Pécs (Pécsi Disputa) by György Válaszúti is a unique segment of 16th-century antitrinitarian literature. Since pécs was occupied by the Ottoman empire, Christians had to live by strict rules. They had to live outside the city walls, and they could only use one church. The dispute is a chronicle of a religious debate between the reformed citizens of tolna and the antitrinitarian citizens of Pécs.

Isa 8:16 is considered a key reference regarding the formation of the book of Isaiah and the role of prophetic disciples in this process. This article argues, however, that originally this verse had a more limited significance. The instruction to which v. 16 refers is to be identified with vv. 12-15 rather than an early ‘book’ of Isaiah. The expression ‘the instructed ones’ (of YHWH rather than the prophet) is applied to the prophet’s audience. This term reflects Isaiah’s characteristic view of prophesying as an act of instruction and prophecy as a form of teaching, and it does not presuppose the existence of any prophetic school. The view that sealing the instruction would allude to preserving prophetic teaching for the posterity is discounted here in favour of understanding the symbolic act as a metaphor from the legal sphere refering to authentication, with no inherent temporal significance.

In studies on the composition of prophetic literature, the larger textual layers reinterpreting earlier texts, the so-called Fortschreibungen, received much attention. It is well-known that beside these larger literary elaborations prophetic books also contain shorter explanatory interpolations, often called glosses, which intend to clarify a particular imagery of the prophecy (e.g., Isa 9:14). A systematic reading of these short annotations has been neglected, however, in studying the formation of prophetic books. The present article reconsiders the Isaiah-Memoir from this perspective. It identifies editorial interpolations in three distinct pericopes, Isa 8:2, 8:6-7a and 8:23b. It is argued here that the identification of such explanatory additions is the key to understanding notorious textual complexities. Moreover, it points out that these interpolations tend to expose recognisable patterns and common hermeneutical principles.

A szabad iskolaválasztási modellek tulajdonképpen három alapvető érvcsoporton alapulnak: versengésérv (közgazdasági, kvázi piaci modell), szabadság érv (politikafilozófiai modell), méltányosságérv (szociológiai-pedagógiai modell). Az alábbiakban megvizsgáljuk mindhárom modellt, kiemelve azok előnyeit és hátrányait.
