The research titled "Protocols of Five Congregations of the Maros Reformed Diocese from 1687: Nyárádselye, Berekeresztúr, Nyárádszentimre, Nyárádszereda, Nyárádszentanna" examines the year 1687 and the Maros Reformed Diocese. The study aims to uncover and analyze the surveys conducted in these mentioned five congregations, which are associated with the specific time period. The research provides a comprehensive overview of the congregations' history, their life within the Reformed Church, and the collected data. Through the analysis and interpretation of primary sources, insights can be gained into the daily lives of the congregations, religious practices, and other characteristics of religious life during this period. The findings of the thesis contribute to the historical and religious research of the Maros Reformed Diocese, helping to understand the characteristics and challenges of the 17th-century Reformed communities in Transylvania.

This article argues that Isaiah's so-called ‘refrain poem’ (Kehrvergedicht) in Isa. 9.7–20 is a composite text, going back to two early prophecies with different concerns. Isaiah 9.7–17* focused originally on the arrogant refusal of the divine word, while Isa. 9.18–20* reflected on the chaotic social circumstances in Samaria in the eighth century. The refrains in vv. 9,11cd, 16ef and 20cd were added to these two already connected prophecies at a later stage. The theological summary in v. 12 is yet another addition, closely affiliated with 5.24–25. Unlike v. 12, the refrains do not have the repentance of Israel in view, nor its final destruction, but the fall of Assyria in Isa. 10.5–15, 24–27. The refrains support the theory that the Isaianic collection was formed by means of reusing, restructuring and reinterpreting earlier material. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0309089216690385

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.

Dolgozatomban a homoszexualitás kérdéskörével foglalkoztam. Megvizsgáltam a múltat és egy átfogó betekintést próbáltam nyújtani a jelenlegi helyzetre, ami napról napra változik ugyan, de a sajtó és a média segítségével lépést lehet tartani. Vizsgálódásom szerepet kapott a perspektívák és következmények megvilágítása is. Vizsgálódásom tárgyát képezte a homoszexualitás pszichológiai, biológiai, jogi, és bibliai háttere és megállapításai is. Megállapíthatjuk, hogy nem betegség, nem bűncselekmény, és véleményem szerint nem is bűn az, ha valakinek más a szexuális orientációja. A keresztény felekezetek állásfoglalása is eltér egymástól, de a leginkább uralkodó elv mégis az elítélés és a bűnnek titulálás. Az unitáriusoknak nincs egy mindenki által elfogadott álláspontja. Szerintem mi unitáriusokként, szabadelvű keresztényekként ki kell állnunk amellett, hogy ők is Isten ugyanolyan gyermekei, mint a heteroszexuálisok, példát mutatva ezzel mindenki számára.
