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.

A tanulmány a 2002-2013 közötti időszak erdélyi protestáns biblikus irodalom bibliográfiai anyagát összesíti egy rövid bevezetéssel.

In this article we shortly introduce T. S. Eliot, noting some major themes he addresses, particularly in relation to religious faith and the search for meaning in life. In the second and third sections our article concentrates on the 1934 church pageant, called ‘The Rock’. This drama was only published once and is hard to find. However, the poetry Eliot included in the drama, called ‘Choruses from The Rock’, have been reprinted and included in various volumes so that these are readily available. But among those people who have read some or all of the ten Choruses from The Rock, very few have ever found a copy of the play in which these poems were situated.1 We present quotations from the ten choruses, with a few annotations at times concerning the context. In the fourth section we look at various aspects of Eliot’s Christology as found in The Rock.

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.

Ha valaki megpróbálná a reformátusok egyetemességének vallási életét egyénenként elemezni, hát a holtak imádásától kezdve a legmagasabb fejlődési fokig minden régi és új vallás elemeit mind megtalálná benne. De így van ez a bibliával is. És épen ez az, ami lehetővé teszi nemcsak azt, hogy a mi vallásunkat visszavigyük a zsidó vallásra, hanem azt is, hogy a zsidó vallást és annak elődjét, Izráel vallását is visszavihessük a maga legkezdetlegesebb eredeteire.
