The thesis highlights the complex role of the masses in the New Testament. The synoptic tradition, namely Matthew, Mark, and Luke, depict the masses differently. Matthew is more sympathetic, while Luke maintains distance, portraying Jesus as a friend to the poor and oppressed. The analysis of three Greek words, all translated as 'masses' in English: 'πολλοί', 'λαός', and 'ὄχλος', is particularly important. 'πολλοί' is a general term for any large group, not just people. Luke uses it most frequently, while Matthew does not use it at all, indicating that for Matthew, people mean more than just numbers. 'λαός' in the Septuagint usually refers to the nation of Israel. Matthew, with a Hebrew mindset, uses 'λαός' in this sense, and does not equate it with 'ὄχλος', which means an anonymous crowd. The author points out that Matthew carefully chose his words, and this difference is especially important in Matthew 27,25, where the people take responsibility for Jesus' blood.

Isa 7:14 is one of the most enigmatic texts of the Old Testament in which the traditional Christian exegesis has found the roots of the dogma of the virgin birth. It remains a question though whether this text indeed focuses on the female figure rathern than the son to be born. Following a brief survey of the recent state of research, in this article I address the question of the possible historical background of the text. Recent semantical investigations of the term עַלְמָה, often translated as ‘virgin’, show that neither עַלְמָה nor its synonym בְּתוּלָה imply any information about the eventual sexual experience of the named person. Both terms denote a young, unmarried woman. Regarding the identity of this woman there are four main theories: 1. the woman and his son are late eschatological figures conveying messianic messages; 2. the woman is the daughter of Zion and Immanuel is the people of Jerusalem. 3.

„Hinni annyi, mint túl lenni a halálon. De hogyan lehetünk túl, ha egyszer innen vagyunk? A présbe kényszerültek végső válasza – Jóbné idült javaslata szerint – Isten megátkozása és a pusztulás. Avagy: bizalom a határon.”

Visky ​​S. Béla gondolkodásmódja, érvrendszere és hite egyaránt meggyőző és hiteles. Logikája töretlen, és bár nyilvánvalóan nehéz, sőt kényes kérdéseket taglal, még a vele vitába szálló feleknek is el kell ismerniük a kereső, kérdező, kutató teológus tárgya iránti elkötelezettségét és kompetenciáját. Én a magam részéről a szerzővel egyetértő beszélgetőtársak közé tartozom, kiváltképpen a szakterületemet is érintő kreáció-evolúció vitát illetően; sokat tanultam leírt és elmondott gondolataiból.
