Abstract:

Ezekiel’s (unfulfilled!) announcements that the city of Tyre will be totally destroyed and Ezekiel's passionate controversies about Judean land tenure are studiedfrom the viewpoint of socio-economic history. By dating these prophetic texts early, they demonstrate more clearly the critical position of Ezekiel's theology and of his (rather disagreable) character. By passionate divine oracles he defends the economic interests of the upper class. By his partiality he shows no interest in an economic balance or in the social criticism of former prophets. The article ends by a methodological reflection about the exegetical conequences ofdating biblical texts early.

Keywords:

Ezekiel - dating of Biblical texts - exile of Israel - Bible exegesis.

Pavel Hejzlar

Abstract:

The article explores convergence and differences between the Anabaptist and Pentecostal traditions. It discusses the ways in which the two traditions read Jesus' life (politics versus healing ministry), their responses to Jesus’ death, Luther and Paul, restorationism, pacifism, and baptism (both by water and by the Holy Spirit). The author attempts to evaluate the two traditions along the way, seeing the most significant theological problem of Anabaptism in its effort to establish an alternative to the Paul-Augustine-Luther trajectory. Pentecostalism, on the other handy presupposes this classical theological heritage, albeit shaping it in line with its distinctive emphases.

Keywords:

Anabaptism - Pentecostalism - John H. Yoder - Pacifism - Spirit-Baptism.

Abstract:

In this article the author focuses on two different and often confused or mistakenly identified understandings of “pluralism” as an interpretive framework of religious plurality and diversity from a distinctly Jewish point of view. The two alternative meanings of “Jewish pluralism ” are documented, analyzed, compared and evaluated.

Keywords:

Judaism - pluralism - interreligious relations.

Daniel S. Larangé

Abstract:

In the 21st Century, the theological discourse reported by the essay and the literature is also undertaken by the cinema. Indeed, in a globalized world, the image has prevailed over the letter and the film raises awareness, on a larger scale andfaster, of the masses that the same culture of consumption homogenizes. In this context, the German-American film director; Roland Emmerich, revisits the myth of the Apocalypse to express the endemic fears that arise against the dehumanization and technologization of the world where the virtual becomes real, whereas the imaginary and the spirituality are sterilized.

Keywords:

Apocalypsis - Cinema - Image - Theological discourse.
