Although György Enyedi’s (1555-1597) posthumous exegetical masterpiece Explicationes (Cluj, 1598) did not contain any explicit statements on political thinking, his Hungarian sermons testify his theoretical interest towards political philosophy. The paper focuses on sermons 67, 68 and 184, wherein Enyedi formulates his version of natural law. Due to his antitrinitarian theological presuppositions and his philosophical anthropology deeply inherent in the former, Enyedi’s position does not match fully the standard versions of natural law of his time. on the one hand, Enyedi’s approach proves to be much more intellectual in character than the voluntaristic correction of Thomist natural law in Scholastic-Suáresian theory. on the other hand, the antitrinitarian dismissal of original sin as a chief anthropological motif results in differences from the protestant natural law tradition, as Melanchthon developed it in the 1530s.

Az 1819. április 22-én született ifj. Nagy Péter pályája jól példázza, hogy egy céhes környezetből induló városi fiú miként juthatott el az egyházi hierarchia minden lépcsőfokát bejárva a legmagasabbig, a püspöki székig. Halálakor a Protestáns Közlöny ezt állapította meg róla: „Kolozsvár város gyermeke volt a bölcsőtől a koporsóig”. De mekkora utat járt be e 65 év alatt!

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it sets the historical context in which Aphrahat wrote his Demonstrations and deals with the interesting relationship between his writings, ‘against the Jews’ and the Sassanian persecution of Christians. It also treats his refutation of the Jewish charges. Secondly, it addresses his ‘unique’ view of christology which is not in line with the Nicene decision concerning one aspect yet at the same time it is congruent with it. The paper also tries to point out that his view on christology was ‘unique’ but not exceptional in the Early Church.

Embertársaink közül sokan egy méltatlanul nyomorúságos világban élnek – ennek hírei naponként érkeznek el hozzánk. A képernyőkön bejön lakásunkba a szegénység, s mi terített asztalunk mellől, minden nap dúsan vigadozva, bíborba és patyolatba öltözve tehetetlenül nézzük karosszékeinkből Lázárt, a koldust.
