Wybrane motywy biblijne z Ksiąg Jozuego i Sędziów w Godzinkach o Niepokalanym Poczęciu Najświętszej Maryi Panny

Author(s): Krystian Ziaja / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2010

The aim of the article is better understanding of the Hours concerning the Immaculate Conception of the Most Holy Virgin Mary. Following motives from the books of Joshua and Judges were taken into consideration: The light from Gabaon (Joshua 10, 10–13), Gedeon’s fleece (Judges 6, 36–40), Samson’s honeycomb (Judges 14, 1–11). After the discussion of the above mentioned three texts we may ascertain that the author of Hours about the Immaculate Conception of the Most Holy Virgin Mary with accurate aim refers the texts to the Most Holy Virgin Mary. Mary is the light from Gabaon, which showed people that he, whose mother she is, will make a salvation, the real victory that had been expected since Adam and Eve’s times. Moreover, she is the fleece of Gedeon because God made her a wonderful exception as among people only she was not stained by a sin. Furthermore, she is Samson’s honeycomb as inside her the one who is our Savior and our best food was born.

Smisao dijaloga unutar abrahamovske tradicije

Author(s): Rešid Hafizović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 01+02/1995

Međureligijski dijalog između muslimana i sljedbenika drugih religijskih tradicija, osobito onih koje muslimanska Sveta Knjiga oslovljava Narodom Knjige (Ahl Al-Kitab), s pogfavitim naglaskkom na židovsku i kršćansku religijsku tradiciju, otpočinje sa poslaničkom misijom Poslanika-Dovršitelja, Poslanika islama, i sa objavljivanjem završnice ove božanske Objave - sa svetim tekstom Qur’ana. To je njegova starosna dob glede musliman ske religijske tradicije. No, što se tiče kršćanske religijske tradicije, ozbiljnije promicanje međureligijskog dijaloga sa nekršćanskim religijskim tradicijama otpočinje tek sa Drugim koncilom u Vatikanu (1962.-1965).

SENECA – A FEW ASPECTS OF A SUI GENERIS CHRISTIANITY

Author(s): Georgiana Moise / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

The idea of this text is to show that even before Christ, according to Saint Justin the Martyr and Philosopher, a seed of Logos could provide an imperfect form of knowledge even to the one who, through its own contemplation and struggle, wished to come closer to the Truth. In this light can be understood also the way in which Seneca, without having knowledge about the Christian teachings, uses philosophy in a soteriologic sense, in order to provide his times with a Sui Generis Christianity, trying to rebuild the man by virtue, using philosophy. Appreciating the time, the alienation from evil, and the thought to death of which nobody can escape - are fundamental ideas of Seneca's philosophy, which emphasizes the role of freedom which man must exercise throughout life.

ECCLESIASTICAL EVENT, RELIGION AND POWER. SOME OBSERVATIONS ON AGAINST RELIGION BY CH. YANNARAS

Author(s): Gelu Sabău / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

In this paper I'm proposing to analyse the relation between religious phenomenon and power, starting from the distinction between ecclesiastical event and religion proposed by Christos Yannaras, in his work, Against religion. By emphasizing the intimate link that exists between the origins of the religious phenomenon and power, I tried to show that religion is, in a certain way, inseparable from the phenomenon of power, both of them presenting positive and negative aspects. The submission of the religious phenomenon to the dimension of power can change it into ideology. I also tried also to criticize Yannaras's attempt to purify the early Christianity from the dimension of power and to present it in the pure form of ecclesiastical event. In this regard, Yannaras's approach is similar to that of Marcion, one of the first great heretic of Christianity.

Bol i patnja

Author(s): Rusmir Mahmutćehajić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 40-41/2011

Koliko su prostor i vrijeme količine, toliko su neodvojivi od čovjekovog iskustva boli i patnje. Bog u Učenju usmjerava čovjeka, pa tako i ukupnost postojanja, prema Času kao potpunom razrješenju svih prostornih i vremenskih ograničenja. Ali i Učenje je u prostoru i vremenu. Iako mu je počelo stvaralačka riječ, što znači jedna i nerazlučena, njegovog pokazanja nema i ne može biti mimo količinskih ograničenja. Tako je Učenje u svom prostornom i vremenskom pokazanju u raz-Umu, iako mu je Um prvo počelo.

Odgovornost vjere i razuma

Author(s): Fra Denis Jurić,Josip Jozić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1+2/2014

Čini se da dva srednjovjekovna zaraćena principa nazvani fi des et ratio još i danas vode svoju borbu bez značajnih pobjeda. Naizgled, simbolično govoreći, dobivene bitke tijekom povijesti na jednoj strani nisu značile dobivanje konačnoga rata. Niti je vjera pobijedila, niti je razum nadmudrio vjeru. Niti je vjera u Boga postala jača borbom za svoje pozicije, niti je razum postao humaniji bez vjerske dimenzije. Još uvijek vrijede oba ona drevna principa: “credo ut intelligam” i “intelligo ut credam” – “vjerujem kako bih spoznao”, i “spoznajem kako bih vjerovao”.

Evropa kao raz-govor

Author(s): Rusmir Mahmutćehajić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 34-35/2004

Evropa i evropstvo su danas jedini značajan pothvat građenja nacije ili, ako to nekome izgleda uvjerljivije, građenja nove nad-nacije. Svi prethodni pokušaji – Varšavski pakt, Nesvrstane zemlje, Islamska konferencija, Transatlantski savez i drugi – ili su propali, ili postoje s očitim znakovima neodrživosti. To Evropu i evropstvo čini istodobno i najvećom opasnošću i najvećim obećanjem.

FRITHJOF SCHUON - DIMENZIJE ISLAMA

Author(s): Vuksan Vuksanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 27-28/2004

Smatrajući da je mudrost, zapravo znanje o stvarima koje su iznad nas, Pitagora je očuvao shvatanje sophie kao božanske mudrosti kojoj se čovjek u liku filosofa približava, pa je i za Heraklita filozof koncipiran zapravo kao čovjek koji se posvećuje saznavanju temeljnih priroda stvari koje, kao što kaže Platon, osvjetljuju naše znanje idejama čije porijeklo treba da spoznamo. Različite načine ukazivanja mudrosti, odnosno metafizičke istine tradicionalne religijske baštine prenosile su svojim vjetrom Svetog kroz istoriju civilizacija Istoka i Zapada. Noseći dakle na svojim krilima Mudrost svoje Objave, velike monoteističke religije su svojom ljepotom ukazivale na pritajenu prirodu njihove duhovnosti koja je sa osobene perspektive imala zajedničku mirisnu prirodu. Ljupki miris mudrosti koji svjedoči o iskonskom jedinstvu Boga u svim ovim tradicijama, privlačio je mnogobrojne mistike u potrazi za tragovima trasparencije koja je bila oforrmljena unutar jevrejske, hrišćanske, islamske, budističke i ostalih duhovnosti. Takvo mirisno jedinstvo duhovnog bogatstva bilo je podsticajno za tragaoca, filozofa i mistika F. Schuona, jednog od utemeljivača Sophio perennis, čiji koncept se razumije kao ukazivanje na metafizičku istinu koja nema početaka već samo svoje raznolike forme koje su u ovim religijama objavljene.

O smislu potištenosti

Author(s): Romano Guardini / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 36-37/2007

Potištenost je nešto odveć bolno. Ona seže preduboko u korijene naše ljudske egzistencije da bi smo je smjeli prepustiti psihijatrima. Ako se dakle ovdje pitamo o njezinu smislu, time je već rečeno da se ne radi o psihološkom ili psihijatrijskom, već o duhovnom problemu. Vjerujemo da se radi o nečemu što je povezano s našim čovještvom.

Ekonomija i kultura

Author(s): Rudolf zur Lippe / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 36-37/2007

Sve što raste, mijenja se, liječi, izraz je energija koje nam dolaze iz Zemlje i preko Sunca i koje nas nose. Ekonomija je svjesno ophođenje s ovim energijama, koje se u međuvremenu uvelike preoblikuju u stalno nove funkcije, za svrhe ljudske egzistencije. Kultura je sveukupnost životnih oblika jednog društva, u kojima se opaža temeljne energije, kao praktične funkcije i također kao poštivajuće izvore povijesnog života. Ako se ekonomija bavi samo time da ove energije koriste onako kako ih je preoblikovala naša civilizacija, tada pridolazi kulturi zadaća da razvije poštivajuću svijest, da dakle spozna temeljni uvjet ekonomskog djelovanja, da na njega podsjeća i o njemu reflektira u uvijek novim oblicima života koji se mijenjaju. Pojam energija se ovdje pokusno shvaća široko, koliko je to mislivo, i upravo tako razumijeva u smislu materijalnih kao i duhovnih učinaka. Energije se shvaća fizikalno i koristi mehanički. Energije se iskusuje kao elementarne i kao krajnje fine načine djelovanja, sve do Transcendencije.

Vjera, praktični ateizam i pseudoreligioznost

Author(s): Mile Babić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 42-44/2014

Najprije ću izložiti što je vjera, a zatim što izdaje, niječe i poriče vjeru. To su praktični ateizam i pseudoreligioznost. Prije govora o vjeri potrebno je naznačiti kontekst u kojem se vjera ostvaruje. Prema tome, da bismo bolje razumjeli navedenu temu, potrebno je opisati vrijeme u kojem živimo. Živimo u sekularnom dobu, a njega je izvrsno analizirao i prikazao Charles Taylor, kanadski katolik koji je danas svjetski priznat mislilac, a po mom sudu najveći suvremeni filozof.

Contemplation: If it makes for peace, why not for Christian witness too?

Author(s): Paweł Tarasiewicz / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

The author attempts to answer the following question: Why does Christian witness need contemplation? He claims that Christian witness needs contemplation, because contemplation reveals the truth about the nature of reality; it is this truth which is one of the factors that constitute the foundation of Christian faith. In a sense, contemplation is analogical to mysticism: as mystical visions make Christian belief grounded on the immediate experience of (meeting with) the Truth, so the contemplation of the creatures makes Christian belief based on the indirect experience of the Truth (i.e., the meeting with the traces left by the Creator in the world).

Jezusowa „wizja pokoju” w ujęciu synoptyków

Author(s): Krzysztof Bieliński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 30/2016

Christians, sharing responsibility for establishing peace and justice in the world, are called to be witnesses of the Gospel toward this end. This article considers the essence and originality of Jesus’ teachings on peace as evident in the synoptic gospels. First, it describes the concepts of peace current in Jesus’ day, and it demonstrates the very root and background of the newness and uniqueness of the evangelical message. Secondly, the analysis seeks to define “the peace of Jesus”, by couching it within the category of “God’s Kingdom”. Also, it analyzes the “logio of the sword” (taken from Matthew 10:34-36) and “division” (taken from Luke 12:51), thus demonstrating the danger of confusing the real message of the peace of Jesus with its surrogates. Thirdly, the article concentrates on Christ’s auto presentation, located in the Sermon on the Mount, discussing the essence of “Jesus’ eirene”, as most clearly expressed in (1) the Seventh Beatitude, referring to the “peace makers” (Mt 5, 9), and (2) in two antitheses: namely the fifth, which revokes the law of revenge (Mt 5, 38- 42), and the sixth, that radicalizes the Law, obliging the love of enemies (Mt 5, 44-45).

Powołani do życia w pokoju (1 Kor 7,15). Lektura socjoretoryczna „przywileju Pawłowego” w 1 Kor 7,12-16

Author(s): Marcin Kowalski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 30/2016

In the present article, the author employs the elements of socio-rhetorical analysis to interpret 1 Cor 7:12-16. First, the rhetorical texture of 1 Cor 7 is explored. The author individuates the thesis in vv. 1-2 and the two argumentative blocks: vv. 3-16, and vv. 25-40, separated by the rhetorical digressio in vv. 17-25. Next, the argumentation of Paul on “mixed marriages” in 1 Cor 7:12-16 is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the issues of addressees, Paul’s idea of sanctification, and the possibility of divorce announced in vv. 15-16. The final step consists in illumining the meaning of the “peace” to which all Christians are called in 1 Cor 7:15c. According to the author, it must be understood as a synonym of salvation.

Szukać pokoju i dążyć do niego (1 P 3,11). Pojęcie pokoju w Listach św. Piotra

Author(s): Stanisław Hałas / Language(s): Polish Issue: 30/2016

In the Letters of St. Peter, and especially in his First Letter, we find an original understanding of peace as God’s goodness for those who resist taking revenge for the bad treatment they have received from a malevolent environment. The Author of the Letter convinces his addressees with a long citation from Psalm 33 LXX in 1 Pe 3:10-12. The Second Letter of Peter sees peace in yet another light, as an attitude of Christians that is revealed in the highest moral perfection, attainable through a profound knowledge of Christ.

„Człowiek pokoju” (Ps 37,37) w egzegezie Ojców Kościoła okresu przedkonstantyńskiego

Author(s): Antoni Żurek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 30/2016

The issue of peace was mentioned by patristic authors in various contexts. One of them is an interpretation of the term man of peace (Ps 37:37) and, strictly connected to this term, the blessing upon peacemakers (Matt 5:9). The textual analysis of the Pre-Constantinian Church Fathers proves that the above terms had a mainly moral meaning. Peace, conceived as internal order and harmony, had to be an element of the Christian personality, an attribute of every follower of Christ. Every Christian should radiate this internal peace. In this conception, peace did not refer to the political realm, and that can be explained by the situation and status of Christian believers in the pre-Constantinian period. Once that situation was changed, the Christian authors’ approach to peace was changed as well, with St. Augustine being a good example and proof of that altered viewpoint.

ZBOG ČEGA SU NAM POTREBNI ANĐELI?

Author(s): Ireneusz Kania / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 444/2007

„Ono što uobičajeno vidimo kao anđela rezultat je ukrštanja debele žene i guske” – izjavio je otac Jan Andžej Kločovski u panel diskusiji o knjizi Alfonsa di Nolija \avo, održanoj 27. maja 1997, čiji su skraćen zapis donele novine Žečpospolita 14. jula iste godine. Možda stvar u vezi s tim ne stoji toliko loše koliko se čini. Na popularnim sličicama, anđela često ne predstavlja „debela žena” već pre mlađa osoba neodređenog pola, ali čudesne lepote, obučena u prozračnu belu odeću, s ružičastozlatnim krilcima na leđima. Ta raširenija vrsta ikonografskog arhetipa je starija.

Jezus Chrystus i pokój. Refleksje św. Augustyna z Hippony

Author(s): Paweł Wygralak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 30/2016

The article discusses the teaching of St. Augustine on the subject of peace as a gift of Christ. As he was leaving the world, the Savior gave people the gift of peace. According to the teaching of St. Paul in Eph 2:14, it is due to this gift that the harmony between the human spirit and body are restored. It is also possible to reconcile Jews, represented by the shepherds coming to adore the newborn Christ baby, and Gentiles, represented by the Magi arriving from the East. Yet earthly peace is not a perfect peace, for man gives in to lusts, comes into conflict with his neighbors, and suffers from many shortcomings in everyday life. However, none of this should discourage anyone from seeking peace. St. Augustine thinks that Jesus’ disciples ought to strive for peace, since peace is the surest way to achieve the perfect peace of eternal life. There, there will be no more conflicts but a constant closeness to God.
