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.

Ez a doktori dolgozat csupán az Institutio 1559-es kiadásának a szabad akaratról szóló fejezeteiben fellelhető Khrüszosztomosz-idézetekkel foglalkozik, és igyekszik kideríteni, milyen teológiai szempontokat, vagy akár érdekeket akart érvényesíteni Kálvin, amikor ezekben a fejezetekben megfogalmazta az antiókhiai teológiai iskola emlőin nevelkedett pátriárka szabad akarattal kapcsolatos tanításáról alkotott véleményét.
