A prozelita kifejezés az intertestamentális korban nyeri a zsidó hitre áttért pogány származású ember jelentést. Ebben a korszakban fogalmazzák meg az betérést megelőző feltételeket, és szögezik le a belépéshez nélkülözhetetlen rituális cselekedetek sorrendjét és értelmét. A zsidó társadalomban a prozeliták is jog által meghatározott státust nyernek, amit a rabbinikus irodalom kellőképpen tárgyal. Egyes konzervatív vagy fundamentalista beállítottságú csoportok ellenezték mind a térítést, mind a prozeliták befogadását. A diaszpórában viszont sokkal inkább misszió szándékú a nyitottság. Ez a kétféle magatartás erőteljesen jelentkezik a rabbik prozelitákkal kapcsolatos vitáiban is, jóllehet a farizeusi gondolkodású rabbik nem a prozelitizmus legitimitását tették kétségessé, hanem az áttérés feltételeinek részleges, elhanyagolhatónak vélt pontjait. A viták kiterjedtek a prozelita nők és gyermekek, a körülmetélés és bemerítés kérdéseire is.

The sermons written for the first Sunday after the epiphany, according to the medieval order of the pericopes, are based on the story of 12-year-old Jesus teaching in the temple (Luke 2:41-52). Therefore, the duties of parents and children are usually presented in these sermons. A following of this pericopal tradition can be found among 16th-century Hungarian publications in the books of the pastors Péter Bornemisza, István Beythe and György Kulcsár, and the priest Miklós Telegdi. Through their sermons, I examine how these authors wrote about the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’ child as well as what methods they offered for improving the behaviour and morals of said ‘bad’ child.

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.
