Iisus Hristos – Plinirea Revelaţiei Dumnezeieşti. Aspecte Moderne Dogmatice Şi Misionare

Author(s): Tudor Cosmin Ciocan / Language(s): Romanian

Autorul a reuşit să surprindă în mod panoramic, cu o profunzime deosebită a cercetării raportul dintre Revelaţie şi inspiraţie, arătând în primul rând că acestea sunt lucrări iconomice cu finalitate soteriologică atât a Persoanei dumnezeieşti a Fiului, cât şi a Persoanei dumnezeieşti a Duhului Sfânt; în al doilea rând, autorul prezintă relaţia dintre Revelaţie şi inspiraţie ca o relaţie dintre întreg şi parte, cele două manifestări fiind în mod cert indisolubile şi unitare. De asemenea, autorul demonstrează că Revelaţia nu poate fi confundată cu vreun act derulat în planul secundar al viitorologiei; prin Revelaţie se descoperă voia şi planul iconomic al Sfintei Treimi şi nu neapărat viitorul interpretabil de omul desacralizat. În acelaşi timp inspiraţia nu trebuie să fie circumscrisă „cultului alesului”, nici redusă la subiectivitatea autonomă şi superficială post-modernă, ci ea este – în evaluarea misionară ortodoxă – o sacramentală iluminare a aghiografului de către Duhul Sfânt, fără ca raţiunea, voinţa sau libertatea acestuia să fie în vreun fel afectată.Autorul are meritul de a fi accentuat – într-o viziune profund ortodoxă – centralitatea Mântuitorului, atât în actul Revelaţiei, cât şi al inspiraţiei şi deopotrivă de a opune – în mod salutar – misiunea profetică a Bisericii ocultismului contemporan cu nocivele sale consecinţe. Mai mult, autorul prezintă cu deosebită competenţă cadrul eterodox ce raţionalizează actul inspiraţiei dumnezeieşti prin intermediul ipotezelor: ipoteza instrumentului, a dictării, a mesagerului şi nu în ultimul rând, cea a extazului.Autorul denunţă falsa religiozitate – cu privire la Revelaţie şi la inspiraţie – atât în interiorul creştinătăţii, cât şi în exteriorul acesteia. Astfel, pseudo-religiozitatea creştină occidentală – complet diferită de cea ortodoxă răsăriteană – este redată prin aşa-numita „revelaţie deschisă” şi este fundamentală pentru tot ceea ce numim neo-protestantism; în egală măsură, pseudo-religiozitatea seculară se manifestă printr-o neo-gnoză sau un neo-gnosticism, ce ocultează în tipurile noastre vechiul gnosticism păgân din perioada primară a Bisericii, în fapt fiind o pseudo-cunoaştere ce are un fundament ne-revelat şi se plasează în exteriorul spaţiului ecclesial

100 godina Franjevačke teologije u Sarajevu 1909.-2009.

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian

Franjevačka teologija je u povodu stotinu godina svoga postojanja i djelovanja u Sarajevu (1909-2009) organizirala znanstveni skup i proslavu pod naslovom 100 godina Franjevačke teologije u Sarajevu: 1909.-2009. Znanstveni skup je održan 6. i 7. studenog 2009. u amfiteatru Franjevačke teologije, a 8. studenog – na dan blaženog Ivana Duns Škota, zaštitnika naše Teologije – održana je proslava tako što je svećeničkom euharistijskom slavlju predsjedao provincijal Bosne Srebrene fra Lovro Gavran. Za vrijeme euharistijskog slavlja izvedena je Missa Bosniensis Andrije Pavliča: Bosanska misa posvećena sv. Franji Asiškom, svim nesretnima, ispaćenima i izgubljenima ovoga svijeta, te bosanskim franjevcima i zboru Pontanima, koji je izveo misu. Zbor Pontanima je osnovao profesor naše Teologije fra Ivo Marković. Dirigirao je skladatelj Bosanske mise Andrija Pavlič (inače je dirigent zbora Pontanima Josip Katavić). Sudjelovali su Amila Bakšić, sopran; Zana Staniškovska, alt; Jasmin Bašić, tenor; Ivica Šarić, bas; i Dario Vučić, orgulje. Pokrovitelj Znanstvenog skupa i proslave je bio Željko Komšić, predsjedavajući Predsjedništva BiH. Koji je smisao Franjevačke teologije i uopće koji je smisao franjevačke škole mišljenja od srednjeg vijeka pa do danas? Evo kratkog odgovora. Franjevci, koji su bili nadareni za filozofsko i teološko mišljenje, nastojali su veličanstvenu viziju Franje Asiškog filozofski i teološko razraditi. Vizija Franje Asiškog, koja se temelji na Isusovu evanđelju, naglašava bratstvo i sestrinstvo svih ljudi, ne samo svih ljudi, nego i svih bića, to jest svih Božjih stvorenja u svemiru. Sva bića u svemiru su braća i sestre po stvorenosti. Jednakost među bićima uključuje i razliku među bićima, jer je svako biće originalno. I samo različita bića mogu biti u jedinstvu. Tom vizijom i njezinim prakticiranjem u svom životu Franjo Asiški je ponudio alternativu svijetu mržnje i nasilja, u kojem i danas živimo. To je on rekao svojom poznatom rečenicom koja glasi: “Exivi de saeculo” - “Izašao sam iz svijeta nasilja.” Izašao je iz svijeta nasilja i počeo osnivati svijet mira. Zadaća svih odgovornih bića jest izlazak iz svijeta nasilja i uspostavljanje svijeta mira, slobode i ljubavi. Zamislimo svijet bez nasilja i zamislimo svijet u kojem nasilje više neće biti moguće. Koliko su veliki franjevački mislioci tu viziju uspješno razradili i koliko su franjevci Bosne Srebrene, koji su živjeli i djelovali na Franjevačkoj teologiji, to mišlju i djelom svjedočili, to jest otjelotvorili, neka prosude drugi. U radovima sa znanstvenog skupa, koji se ovdje objavljuju, autori su obrađivali važne teme iz različitih perspektiva, pri čemu se moglo uvidjeti da je do Istine moguće doći samo dijalogom različitih perspektiva. Dijalogom uviđamo da je Istina jedna i da nas Istina sve nadilazi i povezuje u jednu zajednicu, ne samo nas, nego i cijelo čovječanstvo. Karl Jaspers je rekao: Istina je ono što nas povezuje (Wahrheit ist, was uns verbindet).

South Slavonic Apocryphal Collections

Author(s): Anisava Miltenova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Old Slavonic,Old Bulgarian

This book represents a study of the textology, typology, sources and literary peculiarities of the so-called ’miscellanies of mixed content' in the South Slavonic tradition (from the end of 13th – the beginning of 18th c.) – less known or unknown in the Humanities. The problem is closely related to the apocryphal collections in the Balkan Cyrillic manuscripts, as the Apocrypha are a significant part of this type of manuscripts. The scope of the study is to popularize the series and texts that fill the gap in the translation and perception of the Slavonic Apocrypha. New information is presented over the sources of translations, as well as the compilation approach of Slavonic writers, which reproduces a new version of the texts. The copies of the Slavonic texts are published in the supplement. The typology of manuscripts is supported by plectograms produced in the Repertory of Old Bulgarian Literature and Letters (http://repertorium.obdurodon.org/).

The Somatic Idiomatic “Fear” Concept in the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah

Author(s): Mirela Beatris Munteanu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In this article we intend to study lexemes that express emotions produced by fear from the perspective of lexicography and prophetic semantics, the lexem generating, depending on the relationship between the linguistic sense and the literary image, different directions of meaning: direct through constitutive features of the semantics of ascending emotions or indirect, through the syntactic structures in which they integrate. From the perspective of conceptual analysis (studying the meaning of all the words and expressions that are associated with a certain concept and which includes their systematization) we defined the term as a cultural phenomenon accompanied by a specific historical development, corresponding to the keyword of the proposed topic, also having an important presence in the Biblical text.

Direct and Indirect Consequences of the Concept of Kingdom on the Life of the Believers

Author(s): Luca Samuel Leonte / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The concept of “Kingdom” is well-known on the pages of the Bible, especially in the New Testament. God, the Father, and the Son, Jesus, are called and behave as kings of the Universe. Jesus Christ was very interested in speaking about the kingdom and in explaining its concepts to his listeners. Due to their beliefs, according to the concept of kingdom, many times, Christians relate differently to the values vindicated by the majority of people in the society. Their faith guides the believers when speaking about loving, appreciating, approving, or disapproving things and events around them. In this article, the author presents both, what the Bible teaches about the concept of Kingdom and some direct and indirect consequences of the biblical concept in the life of the believers. The biblical concept about the Kingdom influences believers both in terms of personal and community. When it comes to interacting with others, believers' beliefs may conflict with those who struggle with worldly principles.

An Exegetical Approach to the Lord’s Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13

Author(s): Luca Samuel Leonte / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The Lord’s Prayer as the most known prayer among Christians generates many questions and even debates. In these days, prayer and especially the Lord’s Prayer, has a strong tendency to navigate from rational activity to stereotypy. Many people use to pray without having a good understanding of what the Lord intended by those words included in his example of prayer. The custom of praying is vitally important for any believer but even more important is a good understanding of the principles of prayer inserted in the Lord’s Prayer. In order to help the reader to be conscious of the importance of the words used in prayer, the author makes an exegetical exercise on Mathew 6:9-13 trying to find an answer to the most common issues related to the understanding, usage and meaning of the proposed prayer: how to hollow the name of the Lord, how to understand the coming the Kingdom, what is the meaning of our daily bread, who are one’s debtors` or what is the meaning of the leading into temptation.

The Moral Value of the Patriarchs’ Testament

Author(s): Ioan-Gheorghe Rotaru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The blessing of the patriarchs was not a gift from them to their descendants, was not sharing their wealth to their descendants, but the patriarchal blessing represented the gift of God, namely, what God the Creator was transmitting to those children through their father, the patriarch. Thus, the patriarchs, through the blessings offered to their children, look beyond the reality of the nearest timeline, in the future, thus having a future projection over their descendants regarding a place where they would live and a way of life that they would have. Another aspect of patriarchal blessing was the Creator's intention that through the blessing given to Jacob's children, everyone would eventually benefit from these blessings. The patriarchal blessings remained for posterity placed in the book of Christianity, the Holy Scripture, blessings that include a moral ethic, and as long as these precepts were respected, they were generators of peace, tranquility, harmony, happiness and prosperity. Patriarchal blessings also refer to a lifestyle. As long as the mentioned sanitary rules were respected, the people were exempted from a lot of diseases and they were happy. The purpose of the patriarchal blessings, as promised to Abraham, was that in the end the blessings would reverse over the entire world. Abraham was told: "And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed" (Genesis 26: 4).

Hate - Between Good and Evil

Author(s): Virgil GURALIVU / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Is hate bad? Can hatred have good values for man and society? When it is born from deep, religious beliefs, is society entitled to question the source of this hatred, even if it is a religious system of any kind? Is Christianity a promoter of hatred? What does the Bible say and what did history say? How to harmonize the commandments that promote love, the care for ones neighbour with those that promote the opposite, namely hatred. Hate as well as love is not only a simple human feeling but also a choice that can become a way of life, that can shape destinies. Man is a sociable being, through his own construction he becomes a vector of feelings and decisions for those around him. For this reason, society can be loaded with love or hate and in the end, can be characterized by one of them. But for the current analysis, the question is: can hatred be good?

Revisiting the Concept of Koinonia

Author(s): Daniel G. Oprean / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

It is the aim of this article to sketch the dimensions of Pauline theology of koinonia. The Christian life is lived in the reality of participation in Christ’s death, resurrection and suffering. And these are the elements of what could be called the vertical dimension of koinonia with Christ, at the individual and communal level. There is also a horizontal dimension of koinonia with Christ, namely the communion of believers in the Body of Christ, the Church. Any individual believer is to acknowledge his participation in the community of Christ. This is actually reminded anytime when the believers share the Eucharist. The common element that connects the two dimensions, vertical and horizontal, of koinonia with Christ, is His example, expressed powerfully in his kenosis. The church mirrors Christ’s kenosis in every member’s attitude towards each other, in the embrace of the other in the same way in which, lovingly and sacrificially, Christ embraced humanity, in his body, transforming it from within.

Otkrovenje u slikama

Author(s): Dejan Ilić / Language(s): Serbian

Ovo nije tekst o Koroni. Ali jeste o apokalipsi. Dobro, po svemu, koliko god da se ovdašnji režim trudi da nam utera strah u kosti, daleko je Kovid 19 od slika totalnog uništenja iz Jovanovog otkrivenja. Pa onda Korona u prvoj rečenici stoji tek kao mamac za čitaoca. Kao da ne može ni o čemu drugom da se ovih dana piše ili čita, izuzev o Koroni. Hajde ipak da probamo. Uskrs nam je povod da prikažemo novi strip Alfreda Castella i Corrada Roija – „Apokalipsa. Knjiga otkrivenja svetog Jovana“.

Aspects of the Involvement of Non-Canonical Prophets in the Religious Political and Social Life of their Time

Author(s): Ioan-Gheorghe Rotaru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The prophet, whether he was called canonical or non-canonical, namely, one whose writings were or were not included in the Holy Scriptures Canon, is considered to be the man of God, who hears God's voice and conveys His message, playing a very important role, respectively, to communicate to men the will and plans of God. The difference between a canonical and a non-canonical prophet consists only in writing, only in the fact that one wrote a book and the other did not write a certain book, which would have been included in the Canon of the Bible. There are also cases in which some prophets have written, but their books have not become reference books, that would shape some basic rules and in which to be said how the conduct of human life should be. Therefore, the prophets who wrote such books are called canonical prophets, because through their books they created general rules, applicable to all people of all times. Non-canonical prophets, in particular, addresses to specific situations, to some specific moments from the religious, social, or political life of the time. The study presents some examples of non-canonical prophets.

Religion, Religious Groups and Migration

Author(s): / Language(s): English

The relationship between religion, religious groups, and migration is an important topic of recent social science debate. Migration affects all aspects of the lives of those who have left their homes, including facets characterized as religious. Religion and religious identity are linked to social, cultural, and political issues, including integration, identity negotiation, diasporic community formation, interreligious dialogue, and religious pluralism. On the one hand, migration can change religious cultures, rituals, and traditions through the experience of mobility and the response of the host country. On the other hand, religious groups can encourage migration. In this context, new forms of transnational interaction and organization have emerged that contribute to the reformulation of community and identity. In some cases, such changes can lead to new conflicts and even trigger religious radicalization. This edited book consists of essays that bring together various perspectives on religious groups and their migration processes in different geographical regions. The aim is to empirically analyze the discourse and practices of national and transnational religious groups while investigating the relationship of religion and migration to political, historical, cultural, and social transitions. The book brings together academics and practitioners from different countries through interdisciplinary approaches that will be of interest to a wide readership of scholars and practitioners.

Glasovi LGBTIQ+ vjernica i vjernika - Poziv na dijalog vjerskih zajednica i LGBTIQ+ zajednice

Author(s): / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian

U srcu Balkana, unutar Bosne i Hercegovine, susretanje vjere, organizovane religije i seksualnosti odavno je tema prekrivena tišinom i osuđivanjem. To je mjesto gdje se duboko ukorijenjena tradicija i vjera susreću sa sve promjenjivijim razumijevanjem ljudskih prava, posebno onih LGBTIQ+ osoba. Ovaj zbornik tekstova, kolekcija glasova različitih autorica i autora, vodi čitateljstvo na putovanje kako bi se otkrile skrivene priče i prihvatila prisutnost LGBTIQ+ vjernika/ca u društvima Zapadnog Balkana, a sjene stigme bacile daleko, kao i kako bi se istražili načini na koje unutar organiziranih religijskih zajednica možemo kreirati prostore prihvatanja, razumijevanja i sigurnosti za LGBTIQ+ zajednicu i vjernike/ce unutar nje. Da bismo se pozabavili ovom tišinom, nužno je angažirati se u otvorenom dijalogu, slobodnom od predrasuda i unaprijed oblikovanih mišljenja i dogmi. Naša kolekcija tekstova služi kao katalizator za ovaj dijalog, osvjetljujući iskustva, borbe i nade LGBTIQ+ osoba koje zadržavaju svoju vjeru i duhovnost u bosanskohercegovačkom kontekstu. Ona baca svjetlo na izazove s kojima se suočavaju, kako unutar vjerskih zajednica tako i u širem društvu. Danas svjedočimo razlikama između stavova vjerskih zajednica i ljudskih prava LGBTIQ+ osoba. Štaviše, unutar samih vjerskih zajednica postoje proturječja i kolebanja oko ovih pitanja, pa i u širem kontekstu seksualnosti, koja odzvanjaju i u raznolikosti viđenja povezanosti i odnosa religije, vjerovanja, seksualnosti i roda unutar same LGBTIQ+ zajednice. Utjecaj vjerskih institucija u oblikovanju diskursa i javnog mnijenja u Bosni i Hercegovini i regiji Zapadnog Balkana je neosporan, što suočavanje s postojećim predrasudama i zabludama čini još važnijim. Raznoliki glasovi zastupljeni u ovom zborniku udružuju se kako bi pozvali na otvoren, empatičan i inkluzivan razgovor o postojanju i prihvaćanju LGBTIQ+ vjernika/ca. Ovaj zbornik nije samo kolekcija tekstova; on je poziv na akciju. Poziva čitateljstvo da istraži križišta vjere, ljubavi i identiteta te potiče razumijevanje i suosjećanje kako bismo zajedno radili na destigmatizaciji iskustava LGBTIQ+ vjernica/ka u Bosni i Hercegovini i šire. Naša iskrena želja je da ovaj zbornik posluži kao temelj promjene, te da otvori vrata prema inkluzivnijem i suosjećajnijem društvu na Balkanu i šire. Pozivamo vas da krenete na ovo putovanje s nama, da prihvatite bogatstvo različitih iskustava i perspektiva koje čine naše društvo, te da zajedno radimo na stvaranju pravednije i inkluzivnije budućnosti.
