Hogyan értelmezték az Újszövetséget a korai keresztyének? Ez alkalommal arról szeretnék röviden beszélni, hogy miképpen értelmezték és vitatták az 1Kor 15 egyik szakaszát a 2. és 4. évszázad között. Az 1Kor 15-ben Pál apostol Jézus Krisztus feltámadásával és a keresztyének végidőkben bekövetkezendő feltámadásával foglalkozik. Előadásomban ennek a fejezetnek a második felére, a 35-55. versekre fogok összpontosítani, amelyben az apostol a keresztyének feltámadásáról ír.

Negative Aspects in the Picture about יהוה. Approaches of Three Writers of Old Testament Theology. Different modes of interpretation drive to different conclusions. This study examines these differences in the works by W. Eichrodt, G. von Rad- and W. Brueggemann of Old Testament theology. The two former authors use the historical interpretation, while the third one is the representative of the rhetorical and narrative theology. The theme of Yahweh’s negative aspects is always a stumbling-block not only for laymen, but also for the scholars of theology. Differences deriving from interpretation are illustrated through three biblical examples: the heavenly scenes in 1Kings 22 and Isaiah 6, Saul’s story, and that of the Book of Job.
