Rezumând atitudinea terapeuților față de bunăstare, putem constata că această comunitate a ridicat la un nivel atât de înalt valorile spirituale, încât a ignorat absolut tot ce aparține vieții zilnice obișnuite. Ei s-au străduit la înmulțirea bo-găției înțelepciunii (par. 16–17, 20) și a valorilor spirituale. În rândul acestei co-munități meditațiile asupra Sfintelor Scripturi, a cărților sfinte proprii, precum și asupra înțelepciunii dumnezeiești (par. 1, 28–30, 67) sunt absolut primordiale, din care rezultă retragerea din lume și disprețuirea totală a bogăției pământești.

A Dávid és Góliát-elbeszélés ókori szövegtanúi között nagy eltérések vannak, ti. a Codex Vaticanus (LXXB) egy jóval rövidebb tudósítást tartalmaz Góliát legyőzéséről. A 12–31; 41; 48b; 50; 55–58 versek hiányoznak a LXXB 17. fejezetéből, melyeket csak a masszoréta szöveg (MSZ) tartalmaz: . Ezzel kapcsolatosan felmerül a kérdés: melyik a régebbi olvasat? Hogyan és miért jön létre ekkora eltérés? A tanulmány ezekre a kérdésekre keresi a választ, és közöl egy új magyarázati lehetőséget.

This volume contains selected papers from the broader field of History of Christian Doctrines, and more specifically from Patristics and Reformation studies, but also from the border between them. Most of them were written in the academic year 2014-2015, during my MA studies in the field of Patristics at the Theological University of the (vrijgemaakt) Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, in Kampen. The main topic of the MA programme was the Baptism in the Early Church, therefore the most of these papers presents various aspects of this question. In the following few paragraphs I will present short summary of each paper from this volume.

Sztálin halála után a szovjet blokkhoz tartozó kommunista államok egyházi politikája fokozatosan megváltozott. 1955-ben Márton Áron, a halálra ítélt római katolikus püspök kiszabadult a börtönből, és sok más pap, szerzetes és miniszter mentesült. A romániai magyar protestáns egyházak kapcsolatba léphetnek a apácák templomaival Magyarországon és a világon. Az útlevelek megszerzésére vonatkozó egyszerűsített igazgatási eljárás után az emberek külföldre utaznak és kapcsolatokat építhetnek ki.

Psalm-singing in the Community of Therapeutae Based on De vita contemplativa by Philo of Alexandria. The Therapeutae’s ascetic devotion is characterized not only by searching the scriptures, meditation and prayer but also by singing of hymns and psalms. Hymns were composed by the principals of the community, they were those who taught the community members to sing them and they continually enriched the hymnal with new ones. The Essenes’ and Therapeutae’s psalm-singing indicates first of all the common Old Testament origin. However these religious communities had different self-identity from that of the normative Jews and this identity required for a special psalm-poetry to be accomplished. The Therapeutae’s psalms remind us of the church psalm-tradition characterized, just like the Essene hymns, by responsive singing and refrains.
