The Passion of the Lord Jesus Christ in Early Christian Confessions

This paper is an expanded and somewhat more elaborated version of an earlier study in which I tried to give a general overview on the word-usage concerning the passion of Jesus Christ in the early Christian creeds. The purpose of this short paper is in part to give a comparative presentation of the sufferings of Lord Jesus Christ in the Western Creeds, and in part I also try to define the role of mentioning the name of Pontius Pilatus in them.

The “Dialogue” between Calvin and the Church Fathers on the Sacrament of Baptism

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.

שׂיד or שׂדי? A Note on Isaiah 33,12

This article discusses the MT of Isa 33,12 and argues that the verse line "the nations will be burned to lime (שִׂיד)" is difficult in its context and distorts the parallelism, describing the fall of the enemy of Judah with the help of plant-imagery. Although Am 2,1 is often mentioned in connection with Isa 33,12, closer analysis shows that there are differences between the two texts. It is suggested that the LXX should be followed here, which goes back to a Hebrew text reading שָׂדַי, "field", "(agricultural) land" instead of שִׂיד, "lime".

A Dávid és Góliát-elbeszélés redakciótörténete (1 Sám 17)

A Dávid és Góliát-elbeszélés ókori szövegtanúi között nagy eltérések vannak, ti. a Codex Vaticanus (LXXB) egy jóval rövidebb tudósítást tartalmaz Góliát legyőzéséről. A 12–31; 41; 48b; 50; 55–58 versek hiányoznak a LXXB 17. fejezetéből, melyeket csak a masszoréta szöveg (MSZ) tartalmaz: . Ezzel kapcsolatosan felmerül a kérdés: melyik a régebbi olvasat? Hogyan és miért jön létre ekkora eltérés? A tanulmány ezekre a kérdésekre keresi a választ, és közöl egy új magyarázati lehetőséget.

Foreword / Előszó

The studies of this volume were presented originally at a Brueggemann-conference in the Protestant Theological Institute of Cluj-Napoca, Romania (April 24-25, 2012). This symposium was part of a study week organised by ministers from The Netherlands and Transylvania in Györgyfalva, near Cluj-Napoca, on the eve of the publication of the Hungarian translation of one of Brueggemann's most significant books, the Theology of the Old Testament.
