“One flesh”: The Spousal Symbology in Ecclesiology of the Epistle to the Ephesians

<b> „Jedno tělo“: Symbolika manželství v eklesiologii Pavlova listu Efeským (5,21–23)</b> Ef 5,21–33, čast „řadu domacnosti“ vymezujici ulohu muže a ženy v křesťanskem manželstvi, dava autorovi epištoly podnět k metaforickemu objasněni snoubeneckeho vztahu Krista a cirkve. Obecna křesťanska zasada „vzajemně se podřizovat jeden druhemu“ (v. 21) se aplikuje na manželstvi v helenisticke společnosti a ve stavajicim řadu do něho přinaši Kristova ducha. Kličovou ulohu v interpretaci textu hraje citat z Gn 2,24 a pojeti slova בָּ שָׂר (= „flesh“) coby vztahoveho označeni. To napomaha vysvětlit vztah Kristus–cirkev a manžel–manželka jako „asymetrickou reciprocitu“.

De cura populorum et pauperum: Attending to the Needs of the Poor in the Gallic and Hispano – Roman/Suevic – Visigothic Councils

Abstract The councils from Hispania and Gallia are a rich depository that addressed the poor and poverty in the Gallic and Hispano-Roman/Suevic-Visigothic Councils, a topic that has not been explored adequately. For the first time a full consideration of the abundant conciliar evidence about caring for the needs of the poor is executed here. This essay analyzes all of the instances where the councils mention the poor and almsgiving to ameliorate their plight. One of the marks of holiness of Christians, clergy, and laity alike, is the care of the poor. Christ many times referred to the poor and the obligation of others to help them in his teaching and the Church did not lose sight of the obligation to care for those in poverty through individual or collective acts of charity. Paul did so as well and we find the same in some of the non-Pauline epistles of the New Testament. Overall, in the abundant collection of councils there are references to the concerns of the poor. The number of times that the poor are mentioned in the councils is not as numerous as we might expect; there are enough of them that merit our attention, however. The circumstances, moreover, that elicited attention to the poor is diverse and quite revealing. The poor although abundant – we do not know the percentages – in that society could potentially be treated, as in any age, as outcasts that were marginalized or forgotten. This explains why the Church was ever busy admonishing the faithful who did not suffer poverty to remember the poor and be generous to them.

바울의 화해와 생명 사상‚ -고린도후서 5장 17-21절을 중심으로-

화해를 통하여 이루어진 생명 신학의 문제는 인간 상호 간의 화해 문제가 중요하게 대두된다. 이 논문에서 필자는 고린도후서 5장 17-21절에 나타나는 화해를 생명과 관련하여 연구하고자 한다. 그래서 화해와 생명이 이 단락에서 어떻게 연관되는지 탐구하는 것이 필요하다. 인간에게 나타나는 적개심은 화해를 담보하지 않는다. 화해는 전적인 하나님의 은혜로 인간 갱신의 매체이다. 인간 각자는 말씀선포에 의해 새롭게 되었다.(참조. 벧전 1:24-25) 화해는 생명 사상에서 중요한 매개이고 중요한 요소이다.<BR> 구약성경에서 כפר는 속죄(하는 행위)를 나타낸다. 이사야 53장 7절에 나타나는 ‘여호와의 종’은 속죄 제물되신 예수 그리스도의 모습을 예견하고 있다.(참조. 행 2:36) 바울에게서 화해는 ‘그리스도 안에서’ 이루어지는 ‘하나님과 화해’란 관점으로 나타난다. 화해는 예수의 속죄 죽음을 통하여 이루어지는데,(참조. 롬 5:10) 화목제물이 되신 그리스도를 통하여 하나님은 우리와 화해하셨다. 고린도후서 5장 18-19절에서 ‘화해’는 하나님의 구원 사건으로 나타난다. 그런데 화해가 하나님의 구원과 어떻게 관련되나? 바울은 고린도후서 5장 20절에서 하나님과 화해할 것을 명하고 있다. 하나님의 구원 행위가 그리스도 안에서 성취되었으므로 그리스도 안에서 하나님의 역사를 경험할 수 있다. 고린도후서 5장 18절에서 화해 행위의 주체이신 ‘하나님’이 그리스도를 통해 화해를 성취하신다. 그리스도의 속죄 죽음을 통해 하나님이 화해를 완성하셨기 때문에(참조. 고후 5:18a) 화해 사건은 그리스도의 속죄 죽음에 근거를 가진다.<BR> 이 논문에서 필자는 “바울의 화해와 생명 사상: 고린도후서 5장 17-21절을 중심으로”를 연구하면서 먼저 “고린도후서 5장 17-21절과 화해”에 대한 이해를 위하여 1. 갱신과 화해(17절), 2. ‘그리스도 안’에서 이루어지는 화해(18-19절), 3. 화해의 전달자(20절), 4. ‘하나님의 의’를 위한 화해(21절)를 다룬 후 “화해 사건과 그리스도의 속죄 죽음과 생명” 문제를 다루었다. 화해는 그리스도의 속죄 죽음을 통해 나타난 하나님의 선물이고 화해에 이를 때 생명의 환희와 살아갈 이유를 찾을 수 있다.

Святитель Кирилл Александрийский Толкование на Послание к Римлянам (из катен)

В публикации представлен русский перевод сохранившегося в составе греческих катен«Толкования на Послание к Римлянам» свт. Кирилла Александрийского. В предисловии определяется изначальная форма толкования и с привлечением дополнительных источников делается вывод, что это был экзегетический комментарий, разделённый на «томы». На основании содержания трактата решается вопрос о его датировке и указывается, что отсутствие примет несторианского спора означает, что оно написано до 429 г., а особенности триадологической терминологии позволяют датировать его не ранее начала написания «Диалогов о Святой Троице» (412 или 423 г.). Рассматриваются герменевтические принципы святителя и даётся обзор содержания толкования. Отмечается, что оно посвящено почти исключительно вопросам сотериологии: распространение и действие греха в потомках Адама, бессилие закона Моисея в борьбе с грехом и значение закона, домостроительство воплощённого Слова, Промысл Божий в отношении еврейского народа и язычников, человеческая свобода, которую не отменяет предведение Божие. The publication presents a Russian translation of the surviving part of the Greek Catens «Interpretation of the Epistle to the Romans» St. Cyril of Alexandria. The Preface indicates the initial form of interpretation is determined and with the help of additional sources it is concluded that it was an exegetic comment divided into «volumes». On the basis of the content of the treatise, the question of its dating is solved and it is indicated that the absence of the Nestorian dispute means that it was written before 429, and the features of the triadological terminology allow to date it not earlier than the beginning of writing «Dialogues about the Holy Trinity» (412 or 423). Examines the hermeneutical principles of the Saint and an overview of the content of the interpretation. It is noted that it is devoted almost exclusively to the issues of soteriology: the spread and action of sin in the descendants of Adam, the powerlessness of the law of Moses in the fight against sin and the meaning of the law, the house-building of the incarnate Word, God's Providence towards the Jewish people and pagans, human freedom, which does not negate the foreknowledge of God.
