Dolgozatomban a Sepsi Református Egyházmegye temetési szertartásainak paraliturgikus elemeivel foglalkozom. Ez azt jelenti, hogy elsősorban azokat a szokásokat, gyakorlatokat gyűjtöm és elemzem, amelyek nem tartoznak a temetési liturgiához, de egy közösség gyakorolja azokat a temetés előtt, alatt vagy után. Dolgozatom során válaszokat keresek különféle elméleti kérdésekre a temetéssel kapcsolatosan. Érdekel a temetés istentiszteleti jellege, a temetési szertartás történelmi alakulása, valamint szeretetszolgálati jellege. Választ keresek arra, hogy melyek is pontosan a paraliturgikus elemek és miért fontosak. Mindezek fényében elemezem a gyülekezetekben gyűjtött adatokat. Válasz keresek arra, hogy milyen összefüggés van a paraliturgikus elemek és a lelkigondozás, a közösség formálása és a halálhoz való helyes viszonyulás között. Végül az igehirdetés fontosságát vizsgálom meg.

“Let the Dead Bury Their Dead”. Jewish Funerary Customs and Matthew 8:21–22. Funerary customs are inseparable from the fifth commandment. They impose strict obligations on relatives, lasting until the end of a one-year period. The practice of ossilegium, that is, the collection of the bones of the deceased, marks the conclusion of this process. When decomposition completes its cycle, the deceased is “survived”. The buried individual finds comfort in the expiatory disintegration he/she undergoes. However, this process causes pain and discomfort, which is why the commitment to the deceased is so crucial: the surviving relatives must care for the body to alleviate the discomforts of its decay. Rituals honouring the departed ensure final peace and secure the transition from the world of the living to the world of the “fathers”. Neglecting these duties results in pain, suffering, and shame—not only for the deceased but also for the careless and negligent kin.

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.

Kutatásom témája a valláslélektan és a vallásos néprajz körét érinti, amely jórészt felfedezetlen terület. A néprajzkutatás előszeretettel kutatja és tárja fel az életfordulókhoz (les rites de passage) kötődő szokásokat és rítusokat, viszont kevés olyan munka született, amely egyháziteológiai szempontból vizsgálná és írná le a református népi vallásosság évszázadokon át ápolt szertartásait.
