Preaching as an instrument for teaching Christian doctrines. In the last three decades, Transylvanian society and church members have experienced a shift toward secularisation, particularly within the Reformed Church. This trend has made it difficult to engage with younger congregants drifting from organized religion. Despite this, there’s a vital need to re-emphasise Christian teachings, especially considering the current state of the Hungarian Reformed Church in Transylvania, where many lack a deep understanding of biblical and Reformed doctrines. Christian education should be more than just imparting knowledge; it’s about fostering spiritual growth. Ministers, alongside church elders and congregations, should actively teach Christian values, ensuring members develop a strong, knowledgeable faith. Ultimately, faith is more than learning; it’s about a personal connection with God.

Anthropological additions to the parable of the ten virgins Matthew 25:1–13 -- The parable of the ten virgins is generally considered to be as the most ambi-guous parable of Jesus in terms of its origin and meaning. Researchers wonder: can be viewed its context in Matthew’s little apocalypse as the very first interpretation of the early church? Is it a genuine, composite text or more a compilation of traditions at all? While these are relevant questions, this paper pays more attention to its final form. The research attempts to reasess its significance through anthro-pological interpretation. The analysis will address the five main issues of the parable: the relevance of the oil, the human choice, the time of man, the foolishness and cleverness of man, and virginity.

A minák, illetve talentumok példázata Istenről, illetve a mennyek országáról szól. De vajon ez kötelezően azt is jelenti, hogy Istenről is szól? Vajon a nemes ember, aki azt mondja magáról, hogy könyörtelen ember, mert behajtja azt is, amit nem fektetett be, és learatja azt is, amit nem vetett el, tényleg Istenre vonatkoztatandó allegorikusan? A példázatok jelenlegi kontextusát az evangéliumok eszkatologikus példázatai képezik, főként Máté evangéliuma esetében. De hogyan változik a példázatok olvasata, ha azokat az 1. század 30-as éveinek galileai paraszti társadalmának összefüggésében halljuk? Hát akkor, ha azokat Máté evangéliumának szegényekre és elnyomottakra néző anyagának kontextusában látjuk, ahol nem lehet egyszerre két urat szolgálni: mammont (pénzt) és Istent, profitot és Isten országát?
