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.

In studies on the composition of prophetic literature, the larger textual layers reinterpreting earlier texts, the so-called Fortschreibungen, received much attention. It is well-known that beside these larger literary elaborations prophetic books also contain shorter explanatory interpolations, often called glosses, which intend to clarify a particular imagery of the prophecy (e.g., Isa 9:14). A systematic reading of these short annotations has been neglected, however, in studying the formation of prophetic books. The present article reconsiders the Isaiah-Memoir from this perspective. It identifies editorial interpolations in three distinct pericopes, Isa 8:2, 8:6-7a and 8:23b. It is argued here that the identification of such explanatory additions is the key to understanding notorious textual complexities. Moreover, it points out that these interpolations tend to expose recognisable patterns and common hermeneutical principles.

Mivel egyházi jogalkotásunk a mai napig adós a pénzügy- és számvitel szabályozásának kidolgozásával, és mert az állami könyvviteli szabályozás olyan mértékben fejlődik, hogy azt gyakran még a szakembereknek is nehéz követniük, kívánatos az egyházak esetében alkalmazandó könyvviteli szabályozás áttekintése. Emellett szükséges ezeknek a jogszabályoknak a kiegészítése belső egyházi törvényeinkkel, illetve az egyházi szokásjoggal. Ezt a tanulmányt elsősorban azoknak a lelkipásztoroknak ajánlom, akik az egyházi számvitellel munkájuk során naponta találkoznak. De használhatják azok a lelkipásztori pályára készülő teológiai hallgatók és gyakornokok is, akiknek elkerülhetetlenül meg kell ismerkedniük a könyvvezetés és pénzügyvitel szabályaival.

Az elmúlt év utolsó számában indított tanulmánysorozat első része a Romániai Református Egyházra vonatkozó pénzügyi és számviteli jogszabályokat és a pénzügy, illetve számvitel általános alapelveit ismertette,1 ebben a részben pedig a számviteli szabályok gyakorlati vonatkozásait tekintjük át, és igyekszünk bővebben kifejteni a lényegi kérdéseket, de érinteni fogjuk az azokat a rendelkezéseket is, amelyek a kevésbé relevánsak az egyházakra nézve.
