Az Érkeserűi Református Egyházközség úrasztali pohara eredetileg tányér volt, amelyet a 19. század elején olvasztottak be, s anyagából kelyhet készítettek. A 16. század utolsó harmadától nyomon követhető története szorosan összefonódik az egyházközség és a helybeli birtokos családok, különösen a Suselith-Horváth család történetével. A tanulmány levéltári források és forráskiadványok segítségével korrigálja, illetve kiegészíti a korábbi, szakirodalmi adatokat. Bemutatja, hogy kik voltak a műtárgy eredeti tulajdonosai, hogyan került a későbbi adományozóhoz, mi volt az adományozás társadalmi háttere. Kitér az érintett családtagok és a reformált egyház kapcsolatára.

Although György Enyedi’s (1555-1597) posthumous exegetical masterpiece Explicationes (Cluj, 1598) did not contain any explicit statements on political thinking, his Hungarian sermons testify his theoretical interest towards political philosophy. The paper focuses on sermons 67, 68 and 184, wherein Enyedi formulates his version of natural law. Due to his antitrinitarian theological presuppositions and his philosophical anthropology deeply inherent in the former, Enyedi’s position does not match fully the standard versions of natural law of his time. on the one hand, Enyedi’s approach proves to be much more intellectual in character than the voluntaristic correction of Thomist natural law in Scholastic-Suáresian theory. on the other hand, the antitrinitarian dismissal of original sin as a chief anthropological motif results in differences from the protestant natural law tradition, as Melanchthon developed it in the 1530s.

The purpose of the Epistle to the Hebrews. In this essay we argue that the particular purpose of Hebrews is obscure for the modern reader. It is clear, that it was addressed to a particular community that needed to be warned not to apostatize, not to turn away from Christianity. But no dogmatic conclusion can be reached on a more precise identification of the danger could consist in. The drift of the argument on the levitical cultus, the exhortations and argumentations from the exposition of so many Old Testament passages would possibly give weight to the theory that the danger was that of relapsing into Judaism, a theory held by numerous scholars. However, this is an inference, though reasonable. But each further step in order to identify the exact form of the apostasy to Judaism will be conjectural.
