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 is a study of Isaiah 18-20, three chapters in the so-called Isaianic prophecies concerning the nations, Isaiah 13-23 (24-27). Beyond being located close to each other in this literary corpus, there is at least one common element that ties these three chapters together: Isaiah 18-20 deal with two neighbouring countries of the Nile, Kush and Egypt respectively. The two lands were politically closely related in the era of the prophet Isaiah, so that addressing them in proximity to each other should not be surprising in a book set in the period of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah (Isaiah 1:1). Through a detailed analysis of the three chapters I hope to contribute to a better understanding of the collection of prophecies on the nations in the book of Isaiah and, more remotely, of the wider phenomenon of prophecies concerning the nations, so prevalent in the Hebrew Bible.

A COVID-19 világjárvány jelentős változást okozott az egyházak és helyi gyülekezeteik életében. A magyar nyelvű egyházak tapasztalatai is a nemzetközi trendekbe illeszkednek. A missziói ekkléziológiában jelenleg folyamatban lévő paradigmaváltozás komplexebbé vált. A pandémia felerősített néhány, már korábban indult változást, ugyanakkor új jelenségeket is kiváltott. Jelen tanulmány ezeket a változásokat ismerteti, és azzal a céllal tesz javaslatot egyházaink megerősítésének módjára, hogy azok a jelen helyzetben is hatásokat legyenek a küldetésük betöltésében.
