Christian Theology and Religion

Základné znaky metafyziky podľa Jána Dunsa Scota

The basic features of metaphysics according to John Duns Scotus

Michal Chabada

Studia Theologica 2007, 9(4):1-13531

Scotus describes his conception of metaphysics as the transcendental science which subject is the trans-categorial concept of being together with other necessary attributes. This subject makes the philosophical knowing of God possible and constitutes the foundation for Scotus's metaphysics. The univocal concept of being in his modal explication is top of Scotus's metaphysics and also the bridge between natural and supernatural knowing of God.

Gäde's Problematization of the Concept of Revelation as an Epistemological Criterion of the Theology of Religions

Denisa Červenková

Studia Theologica 2007, 9(4):14-23438

Gerhard Gäde's theological-fundamental conception of the plurality of religions (interiorism),provides a stimulating alternative to the classical "exclusivism-inclusivism-pluralism" definition of the relation of Christianity to other religions that appears deficient nowadays. This article discusses the main features of Gäde's inovative conception with an emphasis on the role of revelation. Besides thorough problematization of the insufficiency of the above mentioned paradigms, Gäde's contribution to this question rests in the emphasis on the theologico-hermeneutic relation of the Christian to the Jewish Bible, which indeed is a key relation for a more...

Křesťané jako cizinci podle Prvního listu Petrova

Christians as foreigners according to the First letter of Peter

Dominik Opatrný

Studia Theologica 2007, 9(4):24-40675

The article deals with five Greek terms used in the First letter of Peter connected to the idea of being a stranger: paroikos, parepidemos, paroikia, diaspora and Babylon. Three of these terms (parepidemos, paroikia and diaspora) are taken over from the Jewish roots of Christianity, but these roots are decisive for the meaning of all of them. The addressees are characterized as paroikoi kai parepidemoi (strangers and sojourners), their status as paroikia (strangehood) and diaspora. The letter uses these terms to explain the situation of its addressees, the feeling of discrimination. Moreover, this situation should not discourage the addresses, but,...

The Role of Theologicly Trained Christian Laity in Ministry

Michal Kaplánek

Studia Theologica 2007, 9(4):41-50584

The reflection on the present position of Christians not carrying out any ministerial office is based on an analysis of the historical development of the relationship between clergy and laity. Besides a brief historical overview, the paper includes critical reflection on this issue in the context of the 20th century Roman-Catholic Church. Special attention is given to the role of Catholics who have received an academic education in theology and do not belong to the clergy, yet participate in the Church's life.
