Not all pastor's children remain close to the Church, despite the fact that they grew up in a religious environment and had the example and model of Christian living. The theoretical objective of my thesis is to explore pastor's children's motivations for living a pious life. For there can be external and internal motivation. The external motivation is when the pastor's child practices godly living and godly speaking, but not from an internal motivation, not from faith. They are not living a godly lifestyle because they feel they need to and because it is of value to them, but they are just living up to expectations. They behave and speak as expected by their parents, their congregation or their environment. They live godly lives either for external recognition and reward, such as the recognition of the church community or the pride of their parents, or perhaps to earn God's approval.

Weather imagery plays a major role in Hosea. Hosea 2 recalls the image of an unfaithful wife; Hosea 4:2–3 describes the withering of the land; in 6:3; 10:12; 14:6, the several types of precipitation draw attention to the utterance of YHWH or the requested righteousness; in 9:10.13.16; 10:1; 13:5; 14:6.8, Israel is symbolised by different plants that blossom and wither, depending on their relation to Yhwh. In all of these instances, weather phenomena contribute to these images. In this article, I try to catalogue and evaluate the metaphors and concepts to look at how meteorological images convey theological and historical messages, and vice versa how historical events or sociological procedures demonstrate their consequences in nature, especially in the weather. It seems that weather imagery is used to describe the consequences of idolatry, injustice and false politics.

A 2Pt 1,5–7 erénykatalógusának magyar fordításai szembeötlő módon térnek el egymástól. E dolgozat célkitűzése: megvizsgálni a fordítások közötti különbségeket, és megkísérelni egy olyan fordítás elkészítését, amely a lehető legközelebb áll az eredeti görög szöveghez.

Dolgozatom fő kérdése az, hogy mit ért Hóseás könyve Isten ismeretén. E fő kérdés megválaszolása rendjén, egy nagyobb ívű bevezetésben részletesebben is tárgyalom Hóseás könyvében az istenismeret tematika megjelenését. Pontosan, arra keresem a választ, hogy mit is jelent az, amikor Hóseás így nyilatkozik: „megismered az Urat” (Hós 2,19).
