Not all pastor's children remain close to the Church, despite the fact that they grew up in a religious environment and had the example and model of Christian living. The theoretical objective of my thesis is to explore pastor's children's motivations for living a pious life. For there can be external and internal motivation. The external motivation is when the pastor's child practices godly living and godly speaking, but not from an internal motivation, not from faith. They are not living a godly lifestyle because they feel they need to and because it is of value to them, but they are just living up to expectations. They behave and speak as expected by their parents, their congregation or their environment. They live godly lives either for external recognition and reward, such as the recognition of the church community or the pride of their parents, or perhaps to earn God's approval.

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.

Paul Tillich újraértelmezte a kereszténységet a korreláció módszerének megfelelően. Fel kell tennünk a kérdést, hogy ezzel a gigantikus vállalkozással valóban sikerült-e megőrizni a kereszténységet eredeti formájában. Megpróbálom bebizonyítani, hogy a hagyományos és a Tillichi teológia között jelentős eltérés tapasztalható, különösen a történeti Jézus kérdésével, az ontológiai fogalmak és az "inkarnáció" használatával kapcsolatban.
