In this research, I have explored the theme of the immortality of the soul in the light of Plato's and Calvin's view of the soul. The work is divided into two major parts: in the first part, I examined Plato's and Calvin's view of the soul and the immortality of the soul, and in the second part, I compared the results of the first part. In the course of this research, I have discovered the similarities and differences in the details of the two conceptions. Eight units of thought were identified for the comparison and within these units, different themes were compared between the two conceptions. In the last point, one of the main questions of the topic was answered, namely whether the soul is immortal or impermanent. Although Plato and Calvin had different points of view, in the end the two concepts were the same: the soul is immortal.

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it sets the historical context in which Aphrahat wrote his Demonstrations and deals with the interesting relationship between his writings, ‘against the Jews’ and the Sassanian persecution of Christians. It also treats his refutation of the Jewish charges. Secondly, it addresses his ‘unique’ view of christology which is not in line with the Nicene decision concerning one aspect yet at the same time it is congruent with it. The paper also tries to point out that his view on christology was ‘unique’ but not exceptional in the Early Church.

A török előtt Magyarország legnépesebb, magyarok által lakott vidéke a Temesköz volt. Elnéptelenedésére, majd népességének kicserélődésére a török uralom több mint másfél évszázada alatt, illetve az utána következő csaknem ugyanannyi ideig tartó osztrák fennhatóság alatt került sor. A kiegyezéstől az első világháború befejezéséig egy füzér telepesközség jelenik meg a Béga mentén, Lugos és Facsád között. Az akkori vezetőség bölcsen gondolta, hogy egy-egy helyre azonos vallásúakat telepít, ha nem is mindig egy ugyanazon helyről. Az államilag támogatott telepes falvakat harminc évvel megelőzve, Bunyaszekszárd az elvándorlóktól saját pénzen megvásárolt birtokokra épült.
