A dolgozatom címe: „A neoprotestáns istentisztelet”. Azt hiszem, ez egyetemi éveim legérdekesebb témája. A mai erdélyi vallási viszonyok között a történelmi egyházainkat leginkább fenyegető veszélyt a neoprotestáns egyházak elszívó ereje jelenti. Mondhatjuk, hogy a mi gyengeségünk, hogy a hívek elhagyták az eredeti gyülekezeteiket, és ez az oka annak, hogy meg kell vizsgálnunk a baptista és adventista istentiszteleteket. Dolgozatom két fő részből áll. Az első részben a baptista istentiszteletről olvashatunk. Láthatjuk, hogy a baptista istentisztelet a legkisebb részekből hogyan válik valódi istentiszteletté. A legapróbb részletekből indultam ki, és az egyes fő részek végén az olvasót elvezetem neoprotestáns istentisztelet a posztmodern kontextusához. Dolgozatom második fő részében az adventista istentiszteletről és homiletikáról írtam. Az adventista istentisztelet jól felépített és teológiailag megalapozott. Az egész adventista istentisztelet az Istennek való hálaadás köré épül.

If we are commanded to remember the Sabbath in the Ten Commandments, why do we go to worship on Sunday? In my paper, I am seeking possible answers to this question. At the beginning of my research, I outline the position of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In the following sections, I aim to present a biblical alternative to this position. I argue that the Sabbath institution was not known to the Jewish people before their wilderness wanderings. But here it becomes the sign of the Mosaic covenant. Since the covenant was made with the Jews, the Lord does not require foreign nations to observe the Sabbath. But God promises to make a new covenant that will not only apply to the Jews. This has been realised in Jesus Christ. He is the one to whom the Sabbath points. In light of this, we cannot cling to the shadow when the light of the world has come among us.

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.

Scout Movement in Transylvania. This study is a presentation about the history of the scout movement in Transylvania. The Hungarian scout movement in Transylvania started in 1911. After that many Hungarian scout team was founded. After 1914, when Transylvania became a part of Romania the Hungarian scout teams joined the Romanian scout association, which was founded in 1914. Between the two world wars the Romanian scout association was under the direct influence of the state. After 1940, when a part of Transylvania was connected to Hungary again, the Hungarian scout movement in Transylvania has also revived. The scout started many kind of good projects. They became a useful part of the society. The centre of the scout movement by that time was Kolozsvár.
