We provided the answer to the scientific question of whether the repression of freedom of religion and the violence against religious communities can be legally classified as crimes against humanity by carrying out a legal assessment (a legal classification) based on the classic subsumption scheme, which requires establishing the closest match of the legally relevant facts and the legal signs of a lawfully applicable legal norm to determine the legal conclusion, that is the legal classification as a value synthesis or deduction. We found that the persecution on religious grounds in the form of repression of freedom of religion and violence against religious communities carried out along with some other form of crimes against humanity is legally classified as crimes against humanity. Violence against religious communities that consisted ,only‘ of the executive action of persecution on religious grounds is legally classified as a systematic violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms.","PeriodicalId":45019,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovni Vestnik-Theological Quarterly-Ephemerides Theologicae","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69867961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis of the views of rabbinic Judaism reveals a network of concepts that are dynamically intertwined. They originate from a strictly monotheistic framework (worldview) of Judaism that helps resolve whether a person is allowed to end his life for the sake of others. Careful analysis and interpretation of the first three acts of violence recorded in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) reveal the catastrophic consequences of choosing to end another’s life without considering its intrinsic value while ignoring the intrinsic value of the other and his dignity and assuming that humans have the power to decide the fate of another human being, to distance humanity from God (from God’s presence), trapping humans in the idolatry of materialism. Moreover, the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) allows for a factual assessment and distinction between different acts of violence. It offers guidance, protection, and hope, for both victims and perpetrators, in the drama of creation and salvation.","PeriodicalId":45019,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovni Vestnik-Theological Quarterly-Ephemerides Theologicae","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69868121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prokopyev","doi":"10.34291/bv2021/01/tkacova","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34291/bv2021/01/tkacova","url":null,"abstract":": Man is born into a tangle of standard processes and behaviour patterns created and modified over time. Through gradual socialization, he acquires the attributes of his own culture and gets acquainted with the admissible modus operandi for the social group he is a member of; he also deepens these princi-ples and confronts them with the experiences of others. Stereotyping is a process that represents the initial classification of phenomena and people, which it categorizes into groups and assigns them positive or negative characteristics. Stereotypes form the ideas that people have about themselves and ,their‘ group with which they identify and are aimed at members of other groups with which they do not identify. Negative stereotypes about other people arise from pursuing one’s own positive social identity and positive self-presentation. Stereotyping of believers occurs precisely because of perceived differences between ,we‘ and ,them‘ (for example, in attitudes and values, possibly in ,religi-ous‘ practice). Stereotypes are often the unconscious ,beginning‘ of a range of known intolerant attitudes; they can lead to racism, anti-Semitism, ethnic discrimination, and other forms of intolerance. According to the experts, no nation has innate attitudes to hate, as they cannot be inherited in a biological--psychological sense. Intolerance is acquired, often to justify negative attitudes and behaviours. Using the qualitative method of guided group interviews (the so-called focus group), we examine the existence of stereotypes in university students towards their religious classmates. We consider the potential of social exclusion of young believers due to stereotypes and present current measures in prevention.","PeriodicalId":45019,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovni Vestnik-Theological Quarterly-Ephemerides Theologicae","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69868140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author of this article accentuates the establishment of two separate (Orthodox) ecclesiastical and cultural centres, Kyiv and Moscow, as the main long-term consequence of the council in Eastern Europe. Here, special attention is given to the role of Isidore, the metropolitan of Kyiv, and two narrative texts from the mid-fifteenth century concerning the events during and after the council. The first is the polemical treatise Isidore’s Council written by the presbyter Simeon of Suzdal, while the second is the anonymous travel diary Journey to Florence. The former is defined by its ,anti-Latin‘ polemical tone, which decisively influenced the later East Slavic, particularly Muscovite, perception of unionism. On the other hand, the Journey, with its lack of any theological problematization of the council decrees, represents the first East Slavic travel diary describing social and cultural features of Central and Southern Europe.","PeriodicalId":45019,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovni Vestnik-Theological Quarterly-Ephemerides Theologicae","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69869944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the proclamation of the word of God draws its content from the Bible and observation of the world in which contemporary man lives and creates. This study aims to indicate the specific content of preaching the word of God in a secularized environment. This proclamation should lead to faith as a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and show the true God and Jesus Christ – man’s only Saviour.

Since theology is both speculative and practical, this paper deals with the main aspects of Cano’s theoretical and moral theology, namely, his doctrine of theological places, his vindication of the Indian’s freedom and political power, his teaching about the distinction between natural and positive law, and Cano’s conception of the right of war.","PeriodicalId":45019,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovni Vestnik-Theological Quarterly-Ephemerides Theologicae","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69869376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
