Újszövetségi kutatóként a szerző olyan kérdéseket taglal az alábbi tanulmányban, melyek alapvetően meghatározzák egy teológiai felfogás irányát. Ezek a következők: Miben látta Tavaszy Sándor a teológia feladatát? Hogyan határozta meg a rendszeres teológia és a bibliai teológia kapcsolatát? Milyen írásmagyarázati elveket vallott? Milyen alapállása volt a hit és a történet kérdésében? Valamennyi problémafelvetés tárgyalási szempontjára nézve érvényes a kutatott gondolkodó megállapítása, miszerint fontos Jézus történeti vonatkozásainak a megismerése, „de ez a megismerés csak akkor éri el célját, ha hittel és hódolattal áll meg Krisztus istensége előtt, mert az ő személyének jelentése túl van a históriai megismerés határán.”

The studies of this volume were presented originally at a Brueggemann-conference in the Protestant Theological Institute of Cluj-Napoca, Romania (April 24-25, 2012). This symposium was part of a study week organised by ministers from The Netherlands and Transylvania in Györgyfalva, near Cluj-Napoca, on the eve of the publication of the Hungarian translation of one of Brueggemann's most significant books, the Theology of the Old Testament.

In the past decades, research has raised the idea of a theology of the Septuagint (LXX) on various occasions. Important works were recently published on this topic in the Handbuch zur Septuaginta and the Septuagint and Cognate Studies series. The general theological tendencies of the LXX are identified by scholars in eschatology, messianism, anti-anthropomorphism and angelology. These tend to all be regarded as further developments of the theology of the Hebrew Bible (HB). However, one can trace the evolution of these and other main topics of the LXX in the New Testament (NT) and in the later apostolic writings as well. Based on three concise case studies, I point out the evolution of theological ideas from the HB through the LXX up to the NT in this paper.

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.
