Abstract:

VERDOPPELUNG EINIGER PASSAGEN DER APOSTELGESCHICHTE

Der Autor begründet seine These, dass zahlreiche Wiederholungen (zwei- oder dreimalige Schilderung bestimmter Ereignisse bzw. Strukturelemente) in der Apostelgeschichte eine theologische Absicht des Lukas verraten. Am deutlichsten lässt sich das an der Analyse der Schlüsselereignisse im Leben der beiden Apostel Petrus und Paulus zeigen - Kornelius und Damaskus die jeweils dreimal erzählt werden (Apg 10 u. 11, bzw. 9, 22, 26); die dreimalige Wiederholung will den Wendecharakter dieser Episoden betonen. - Ähnliche Resultate ergeben z. B. die Beschreibung des Lebens der Urgemeinde (2,42-47 und 4,32-37), der Wirkung der Apostel (Verkündigung-Widerstand-Erfolg) oder die wiederkehrenden Elemente in den Apostelreden. Mit all dem will der Autor der Apg zeigen, dass die für den Weg des Evangeliums zu den Völkern konstitutiven Geschehnisse nicht zufällig oder solitär, sondern fest in dem Heilsplan Gottes eingebettet sind.

Abstract:

WAS THE OFFICIAL OF QUEEN KANDACE A FALASHA?

The author presents the hypothesis that the man referred to in the story in Acts 8:26-39 belonged to the group of Jews living in ancient Ethiopia (the land of Cush). While he is aware that his opinion cannot be unequivacally defended, there are numerous indications in the Acts of the Apostles which support it. In the next part of the article, the author deals with the existence and history of this Jewish-Ethiopian group (the Falasha). While there are many legends concerning its origin and fate, the basic core of their authenticity is difficult to prove. The influence of the Falasha, however, is witnessed to by a number of Judaizing elements in Ethiopian Christianity, as well as by the decree of the high rabbinate in Jerusalem, which accepted them as an authentic Jewish community, with its own peculiarities, and thus enabled their mass immigration to Israel in the years 1984-85 and 1991.

Abstract:

THEOLOGY, ECONOMY AND ECONOMICS

The relationship between theology and economics (economy) exhibits more affinity than one would believe at first sight. Undoubtedly, a number of biblical terms have an economic and/or juridical connotation signaling their impact on a theological understanding. This seems to be unequivocally recognizable in the sphere of human activities and performances. This evidently manifests their significance for both theological and economic reflection. In this context J. S. Trojan points to the fact that we find the concept of OIKONOMIA TOU THEOU in the very core of the biblical message. Further the author tries to demonstrate the correlation of both the disciplines by pointing to two historical instances: First A. Smith’s understanding of the market and moral sentiments as two pillars of human activity in history, the former indicating the spontaneity of it, while the latter its human responsibility. The name of M. Weber reminds us of his-not generally accepted, yet very inspiring analysis

of a certain type of piety that has proved to be a spiritus agent of the modern capitalistic economic order. In the closing part of Trojan’s insights readers find a chapter called Theology in dialogue with economy (economics). He emphasizes the significance of a theological commitment to the issues of economic life with a particular treatment of it qualitative aspects that seem to be neglected both in the previous marxist economy and neo-liberal alternative in our central-european context at present. The universality of the biblical message and its systematic reflection in theology have to be involved in the discourse about the societal issues of our world today.

Abstract:

AN APPLICATION OF THE HERMENEUTICAL, PHENOMENOLOGICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL METHODS TO CONTEMPORARY ECUMENICAL THEOLOGY

The article examines how a theology that wants to take seriously the positive and negative herritage of different denominations, as well as the search for Christian wholeness and unity, can profit from three significant approaches: to language and understanding, to experience, and to certainty, truth and authority. The hermeneutical method developed by Heidegger, Gadamer and Ricoeur and applied by Tracy identifies the power and credibility of speech to communicate a tradition to a particular human situation as being conditioned by the speaker’s taking part in both. It emphasizes that for the process of understanding it is vital not to create a “meta-tradition”, not to harmonize different human situations into one artificial one, or to end up by saying that “it does not matter where one stands and what kind of traditions is giving shape to one’s life”, A contribution of the phenomenological method, introduced by Husserl, is in taking seriously “what is the case” in practice rather than constructions of “how things should be” in theory, thus preventing an ecumenical theology from working with ideals or prejudices rather than with facts. To know is to see, according to the phenomenological method, which has its advantages, e.g. learning from ecumenism “from below”, but also its disadvantages, namely insufficient tools for a critical dealing with experience. Finally, the epistemological method, inspired by Wittgenstein, organizes the material gathered by the previous two methods. Its question “How do you know?” accompanying every claim to knowledge also in ecumenical theology, provides it with a critical understanding of certainties we hold, truths we assume and authorities we refer to, once again, giving priority to acting and believing, on which our knowing is dependent.

Abstract:

RECHTFERTIGUNG ÖKUMENISCH

Der Autor kommentiert die „Gemeinsame Erklärung zur Rechtfertigungslehre“, ihre Entstehungsgeschichte, ihre Zielsetzungen und den Prozess ihrer Rezeption, einschliesslich der vatikanischen „Nota“. Seiner Meinung nach liegen die Unterschiede tiefer in der theologischen Optik, mit der beide Seiten des Dialogs arbeiten. Die katholische Auffassung des durch die Kirche vermittelten und garantierten Heils lässt sich nicht leicht mit der lutherischen in Einklang bringen, wonach die Kirche lediglich ein Raum ist, in dem sich die Rechtfertigung als personales Geschehen ereignet. Diese Polarität wird in diesem Äon wohl nicht aufzuheben sein - umso dringender erscheint die Notwendigkeit, Verwerfungen ausser Kraft zu setzen.

Abstract:

EVANGELICA LEGEBANTUR. CATHOLICA LEGUNTUR?

Kleiner Überblick registriert neue tschechische Übersetzung aus der deutschen und amerikanischen römisch-katholischen Theologie unseres Jahrhunderts. Der Druck der kommunistischen Zensur führte 1948-1989 dazu, dass im katholischen Tschechien moderne katholische Theologie den nur tschechisch Lesenden weitgehend unbekannt blieb. Nach der Wende ereignete sich ihr Boom, heutzutage spiegelt die Situation auf dem Büchermarkt die konfessionelen Proportionen im Lande wider. Früher lasen unsere Katholiken die evangelischen Publikationen, lesen wir heute die katholischen?
