Colecția Blaj a Bibliotecii Filialei Academiei Române din Cluj reprezintă un important vestigiu cultural al greco-catolicismului din Ardeal. Nucleul bibliotecii este format din colecția mănăstirii basilitane ctitorite în 1747 cu hramul Sfintei Treimi. În același an a început activitatea seminarului diecezan. Se pare că cele două instituții au avut o bibliotecă comună. Cărțile au fost inventariate pentru prima dată în 1752. Materialul prezentat face parte dintr-o cercetare mai amplă, care vizează descrierea operelor teologilor protestanți din secolul XVI păstrate în colecțiile istorice din Ardeal. În Colecția Blaj a Bibliotecii Filialei Cluj a Academiei Române se găsesc 421 de tipărituri din secolul XVI.

Gyakran találkozunk a szekularizáció fogalmával. Mit jelentett egykor, mit jelen ma? A tanulmányban körbejárom a kérdést. Tisztázom a fogalmakat, felvázolom a folyamat rövid történetét, rákérdezek a jelenség bibliai értelmére, megnevezek teológiai félreértéseket, majd felvillantom a szekularizáció folyamatában rejlő lehetőségeket, kihívásokat és feladatokat a keresztyén gyülekezet számára.

Theis paper analyses the concept of “imago Dei” based on the 6th answer of the Heidelberg Catechism. I chose this topic as it is one of the most controversial questions of systematic theology. If one browses through the dogmatic and ethical works written from the earliest period of Christianity to the most recent times, they will find a large variety of answers. All of these attempt to explain what the writer of Genesis meant by the expression na‘aśęh ’ ādām beṣalmenu kidemutenu. The Heidelberg Catechism deals with this topic in the 6th answer where the authors attested that God did not create the first human being godless and malicious. After stating that as a matter of fact, God created man according to his own image and likeness, the Catechism explains the term imago Dei in a twofold way: first, it seeks to define the inner content of the image and similitude of God, and secondly it expands upon the purpose of man given by God as the image of his creator within the creation.

This volume contains selected papers from the broader field of History of Christian Doctrines, and more specifically from Patristics and Reformation studies, but also from the border between them. Most of them were written in the academic year 2014-2015, during my MA studies in the field of Patristics at the Theological University of the (vrijgemaakt) Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, in Kampen. The main topic of the MA programme was the Baptism in the Early Church, therefore the most of these papers presents various aspects of this question. In the following few paragraphs I will present short summary of each paper from this volume.

A román reformáció kérdésével, gyakorló-lelkipásztori és vallás-tanító-lelkészi súlyos elfoglaltságom mellett, éveken át foglalkoztam. Közben a kérdés összefoglalása és tisztázása érdekében komoly munkák jelentek meg, de ezek dacára sem tartottam feleslegesnek jelen dolgozatomat elkészíteni és közreadni.
