The Textual and Redactional History of Genesis 46:8–27 -- Genesis 46:8–27 lists the names of those who went down along with Jacob to Egypt during the famine in Canaan. However, this passage has some features that inspire to further study. These include seemingly pointless repetitions, tensions within the text and contradictions with other verses in the book of Genesis, which lead us to conclude that the text of the pericope in question has undergone significant changes over time. In this study, we will attempt to deduce possible textual layers and reconstruct the sources used, starting from the canonical text and working backwards in time.

This volume contains selected papers from the broader field of History of Christian Doctrines, and more specifically from Patristics and Reformation studies, but also from the border between them. Most of them were written in the academic year 2014-2015, during my MA studies in the field of Patristics at the Theological University of the (vrijgemaakt) Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, in Kampen. The main topic of the MA programme was the Baptism in the Early Church, therefore the most of these papers presents various aspects of this question. In the following few paragraphs I will present short summary of each paper from this volume.

Mindkét szövegezés egyaránt fontos az egyéni kegyesség gyakorlásában éppúgy, mint a gyülekezeti közösség használatában. A vizsgálódás azért időszerű, mert az 1998. évi új Ágendáskönyv: A Magyar Református Egyház istentiszteleti rendtartása a hagyományostól többé-kevésbé eltérő fordítást tartalmaz s ez mindmáig sok egyháztagot zavar mind imaéletében, mind pedig hite megvallásában.
