Az aktív erőszakmentes ellenállás és a polgári engedetlenség elméletének és gyakorlatának evangélikus teológiai reflexiója nem nyilvánvaló, hiszen a Lu- ther-értelmezés egy, a 19. században kezdődött, a második birodalom felemel- kedésével kapcsolatos és még ma is ható módosulása kizárja ezeket a lehetősé- geket. A dolgozatom célja a beszűkítő értelmezés lebontása és az eredeti lutheri szándékok kortárs és kontextuális értelmezési lehetőségeinek megmutatása. Ehhez segítségül hívok néhány német teológust, akik a második világháborút követően részt vettek a lutheri örökség tisztázásában.

Valentinus and His Teaching in the Light of Modern Research and Ancient Christian Heresiology -- The first part of this paper contains a summary of the life and teachings of Valentinus written by Bernadett Szűcs, in which the author sketches the most important aspects of this complex topic based on the early Christian primary sources harmonized with the state of the modern research. As an appendix to this introduction, the second part of this paper, written by György Papp contains the first Hungarian translation (accompanied by the original Greek text from the recently published critical edition) of one of the primary sources with a short introduction, to the text: the chapter about Valentinus in the Haereticarum fabularum compendium of Theodoret of Cyrus.

This paper presents the doctrine on baptism in the Haereticarum fabularum compendium of Theodoret of Cyrus. From this presentation we learn that Theodoret presents in this work a multi-contextual image of the “all-holy” baptism. The divine origin of the sacrament determined Theodoret to offer it a special place within his theological system. This special place is expressed through the setting of the chapter concerning baptism as well: it is put between the soteriological Christology and the chapters concerning Theodoret’s eschatology, the latter being an introduction to the ethical chapters.

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.

Ebben a tanulmányban a Gal 2,15–4,7 exegézisén keresztül kívánjuk bemutatni a törvény és a Krisztusba vetett hit közötti kapcsolatot, megkeresve azokat a pontokat, amelyek segítségünkre lehetnek e kettőről szóló bibliai tanítás dogmatikai és etikai értelmezésében, illetve alkalmazásában. Bár tudjuk, hogy a hit és törvény viszonyát nem csupán A galatákhoz írt levél tárgyalja, ugyanis ennek jelentős párhuzamai vannak például A rómaiakhoz írt levélben, e tanulmány keretében csak A galatákhoz írt levél fentebb jelzett szakaszaival van módunk foglalkozni.
