Ez az előadás Péter első levelének azon összefüggéseit emeli ki, amelyekben a szerző a keresztyén identitás eszkatologikus megalapozását nyújtja. Ennek az identitásnak a sarokpontját pedig az 1Pt 2,2-ben találjuk: „mint újszülött csecsemők a hamisítatlan lelki tejet kívánjátok, hogy azon növekedjetek az üdvösségre”. Amint látni fogjuk, ezek az összefüggések a homo viator kérdésfelvetéseivel metszik egymást, de bizonyos ponton azt meg is haladják.

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.

Anthropological additions to the parable of the ten virgins Matthew 25:1–13 -- The parable of the ten virgins is generally considered to be as the most ambi-guous parable of Jesus in terms of its origin and meaning. Researchers wonder: can be viewed its context in Matthew’s little apocalypse as the very first interpretation of the early church? Is it a genuine, composite text or more a compilation of traditions at all? While these are relevant questions, this paper pays more attention to its final form. The research attempts to reasess its significance through anthro-pological interpretation. The analysis will address the five main issues of the parable: the relevance of the oil, the human choice, the time of man, the foolishness and cleverness of man, and virginity.
