Grécka lexikografia a Septuaginta: Príklad lexém δῶρον, δωρεά a δωρεάν

Greek Lexicography and the Septuagint: An Example of the Lexemes δῶρον, δωρεά, and δωρεάν

Helena Panczová

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):1-24 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.048596

This article provides an outline of the lemmata δῶρον, δωρεά, and δωρεάν under preparation for The Historical and Theological Lexicon of the Septuagint. The lexemes δῶρον and δωρεά are synonymous up to a point (a “gift” that is expected to be repaid in some way) but there is also a significant difference between them. While δῶρον also means “bribe”, “sacrifice”, and “tribute”, the expression δωρεά is used to denote...

Axiologický obraz vnímania pôstu a kajúcnosti v paraliturgických piesňach pod Karpatmi z prelomu 18. a 19. storočia

The Axiological Image of the Perception of Fasting and Penance in Paraliturgical Songs from the Carpathian Mountains at the Turn of the 19th Century

Peter Žeňuch

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):25-42 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.044553

The paraliturgical songs of Greek‑Catholics in the Carpathians are a powerful testimony to the cultural‑religious memory of this community. The most convincing proof of their religious and cultural integrity is the fact that they spontaneously and memorably sing and recite the prescribed prayers, liturgical texts and the relevant parts of the services. Even in the creation and use of paraliturgical hymns, they concentrate on emphasizing their own cultural integrity and awareness. Folk religiosity is evident in a number of paraliturgical songs in which fasting and penitence are depicted. The study is materially limited to Cyrillic manuscript...

Historicko‑cirkevné okolnosti vzniku encykliky Leva XIII. Providentissimus Deus

The Historical‑Ecclesiastical Circumstances of the Encyclical Providentissimus Deus by Leo XIII

Ľuboslav Hromják

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):43-60 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.055530

The author initially describes the general situation within theological thinking prior to the pontificate of Leo XIII, characterized by a skepticism concerning the modern method of Catholic theology, especially Biblical Catholic theology. The approach within Protestant churches, where Biblical studies was much more evolved due to the use of the practice of historical-critical method, was very different. The pioneer in this approach within the Catholic Church was the French Dominican and Biblical theologian Jean-Marie Lagrange. The author of this study explicates how the publication of the encyclical Providentissimus Deus influenced Biblical...

Přístup k eucharistii pro rozvedené a znovu sezdané v pastoračních směrnicích biskupů a biskupských konferencí k aplikaci Amoris laetitia

Access to the Eucharist for the Divorced and Remarried in the Pastoral Guidelines of Bishops and Bishops’ Conferences for Implementing Amoris Laetitia

Karel Skočovský

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):61-97 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.046765

For the purposes of the review study, we identified and described 45 pastoral documents on the application of Amoris Laetitia (AL) from 2016‒2023, issued by individual diocesan bishops, regional or national bishops’ conferences. Concerning the question of possible access of the divorced and remarried to the sacraments, a wide range of attitudes and pastoral approaches are apparent. Out of the 45 directives we studied, a total of 11 (i.e. 24%) explicitly opposed Holy Communion in so‑called irregular situations (the dioceses of Portsmouth, La Plata, Philadelphia, the Canadian region of Alberta, the Ordinariate of the Chair of...

Malé sošky z porculánu: Očista liturgického prostoru a počátky realizace liturgické reformy v královéhradecké diecézi na přelomu let 1966 a 1967

Little Porcelain Statues: The Purification of Liturgical Space and the Early Realization of Liturgical Reform in the Hradec Králové Diocese in 1966–1967

Michal Sklenář

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):99-118 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.051521

The study describes and analyses the course of one of the phases of the Second Vatican Council’s liturgical reform (Small Reform) in the Czech Lands, specifically in the Hradec Králové Diocese in 1966–1967. The author proceeds from letters and reports by individual ecclesiastical administrators who, on the basis of their superiors’ orders, provided information on the course of the “purification” of liturgical space in their parishes. In connection with the Sacrosanctum concilium constitution, these changes applied to the transformation of church movables. The documents demonstrate the prevailing willingness of the...

Experimenty s náboženskou symbolikou v katolických ášramech v Indii

Experiments with Religious Symbolism in Catholic Ashrams in India

Zdeněk Štipl

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):119-147 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.056536

The paper deals with the religious symbolism that emerged in Catholic ashrams in India. Drawing on material gathered during field research, it examines how originally Hindu symbols are integrated into Christian symbolism, what meaning they take on in that symbolism, and what this newly created symbolism brings to the ashram communities and to the Indian Church. A brief introduction to the subject of Catholic ashrams from a historical perspective is followed by a description of the symbolism under study, accompanied by an interpretation of its meaning as conceived by its creators. For the sake of clarity, examples of this symbolism are grouped into...

Přirozené náboženství Josepha Priestleyho

The Natural Religion of Joseph Priestley

Eva Peterková

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):149-164 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.053566

Joseph Priestley (1733–1804) was a thinker who was interested in many scientific disciplines of his time. In this regard, his reflections on natural philosophy and metaphysics are particularly interesting. He held the opinion that man is entirely material and all the components that we attribute to the immaterial principle in man – the soul – are a manifestation of the material brain. Man, like all material things, must follow the laws of nature, and therefore we can explain his entire functioning on the basis of these laws – from physiological manifestations to his actions. This excludes, however, the possibility of free human...

Když se manželství nezdaří: Analýza novozákonních právních ustanovení pro takové situace

When Marriage Fails: Analysis of the Legal Provisions in the New Testament for Such Situations

Jiří Kašný

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):165-191 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.052517

Although faithful and lasting relations are valued as important characteristics of marriage in the Bible, not every marriage meets these characteristics. This paper examines the New Testament foundations of the legal rules and advice for Christians when their marriages fail and the marriage bond breaks up. It examines in what way the law protects the weak one in the situation, when marriage no longer provides the husband and wife a home and safety and even becomes a place of violence and destruction. The paper summarizes the Old Testament foundations concerning a faithful and lasting marriage and the legal rules to regulate the situations, when the...

Luciferův efekt a křesťanská teologie

The Lucifer Effect and Christian Theology

Ctirad Václav Pospíšil

Studia Theologica 2023, 25(4):193-209 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2023.059665

The author of the article presents and at the same time critically evaluates the main contributions of Philip G. Zimbardo’s monograph The Lucifer Effect. The influence of the system, rules, and group on the thinking and actions of the individual is approved. The author of the study does not agree, however, with the unilaterally negative evaluation of obedience, and also with the statements about the “banality” of the good. In the second part, the author of the study demonstrates that a healthy Christian faith is an excellent strategy for dealing with harmful social influences on one’s personality and moral integrity.
