keresztség

Ez a tanulmány a Kol 3,11 jelentését tisztázza, összehasonlítva azt a Gal 3,28 és az 1 Kor 12,13 verseivel. A visszatérő "görög és zsidó" vagy "rabszolga és szabad" kifejezések ellenére sem bizonyítható, hogy e három szöveg valamilyen rögzített beszédmódot képvisel. Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy mindhárom felsorolás az adott szövegösszefüggésben nyeri el értelmét. Ennek megfelelően a Kolossébeliekhez írt levél, és különösen a Kol 3,5-17 kontextusának összefüggésében megállapítható, hogy az 5. és 8-9.

This paper presents the doctrine on baptism in the Haereticarum fabularum compendium of Theodoret of Cyrus. From this presentation we learn that Theodoret presents in this work a multi-contextual image of the “all-holy” baptism. The divine origin of the sacrament determined Theodoret to offer it a special place within his theological system.

This paper was my MA thesis, and its topic is the reception of the teaching of the Church Fathers concerning the baptism in the 1559 edition of John Calvin’s Institutes. In this thesis, I try to unfold some of the factors that determined the way Calvin used the writings of the Church Fathers in formulating his doctrine of baptism. After presenting the patristic quotations related to the ‘theoretical’ theology of baptism, I will present the quotations and references that are related rather to the practice of baptism.

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.
