The foundational principle laid in the thought of Cappadocian Fathers emphasizes theosis as communion of man with God. The next segment deals with the paradox in the search of high knowledge: the highest thing we are looking for is beyond our knowledge, which is the exact reason why Basil of Caesarea has approved of human reasoning and development of human intellect. There is also an important theologian, Gregory Palamas, who has indicated that we cannot come to knowledge of God through secular science but through faith, contemplation and practices of asceticism, from which we are receiving true knowledge. His views are close to the axiom of Gregory the Theologian: Faith is what gives fullness to our reasoning. Then, a contemporary dialogue between Orthodox theology and science is also considered through the lenses of these theologians: Alexei Nesteruk, who represents the phenomenological approach to the relation of Orthodox theology and science; Stoyan Tanev, George Dion Dragas and Kyriacos Markides who represent reconsideration of the relationship between Orthodox theology and science through an anthropic principle; and Christopher Knight who pleads for theological naturalism. We conclude that phenomenological approach of Alexei Nesteruk - who has believed that interference between science and theology is possible by utilization of transcendence and asymmetry between theology and science for better understanding of existential condition of the human person - is close to the patristic view of theology and science.","PeriodicalId":53322,"journal":{"name":"Kultura Skopje","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73812445","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}

Over time, that symbol has taken on different meanings becoming a complex intersection of sociocultural mediation and symbolic interaction. In The Dormition of the Mother of God icon by Srđan Radojković, the hand symbol stands out among other dominant symbols. What meanings does that symbol bear and invoke? In the paper, we point to the originally Christian, biblical, New Testament meaning of that symbol, but also to the broader sociocultural perspective in which its various meanings are constituted. The artist consciously introduced the symbol of the hand into the foreground of his artwork, guided by his intention and idea. Nevertheless, possible meanings are completely open for further symbolic development, as well as for the processes of personal experience and assigning different layers of meaning, independent of the author's intention. In these processes, the symbolism inherent in the early stages of human culture is transmitted and developed, continues to work in contemporary situations and is preserved for future periods of culture, communicating with different cultural contexts. The symbols of the hand and the open palm connect us with the days of Jesus Christ's earthly mission, as well as distant prehistory and mysterious cave paintings, and also with far-Eastern concepts about the connection between the nervature of the hand and the brain processes, confirmed by contemporary neurological research. At the same time, the outlined symbols open the way to philosophical considerations of the phenomenon of human hands, aimed at researching the fundamental concepts of human corporeity, as well as the mental and physical plan of human existence in general.","PeriodicalId":53322,"journal":{"name":"Kultura Skopje","volume":"2015 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87095514","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}

Golden calf or worship of god: About Nikolaj Velimirović's understanding of culture 金牛犊或崇拜上帝:论维里米罗维奇对文化的理解

Petrović","doi":"10.5937/kultura2379007p","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/kultura2379007p","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examines whether Nikolaj Velimirović (Nicholai Velimirovich) considered culture incompatible with Christian beliefs and Christian concepts in general. Some claims that Velimirović rejected culture can be found in literature. These allegations were primarily based on the reading of the book posthumously attributed to Velimirović, published 30 years after his death under the title Govori srpskom narodu kroz tamnički prozor (Words to the Serbian People Through the Dungeon Window), in which the author wrote unusually harshly and vehemently about culture. However, there are other works written by Velimirović, where his authorship is certain and in which the question of culture is approached differently. In this paper, we will focus our attention on Velimirović's original works and we will compare his original views with those that can be found in the above stated book. Interestingly, in his original works we will not find anti-cultural viewpoints but rather evaluation of culture by Christian standards, and consequently, the possibility of existence of a Christian culture. However, through tendentious readings of Velimirović's works and through uncritical reading of the works attributed to him posthumously, he became known as an opponent of culture. For example, although Velimirović, as a cultured man, spoke several world languages, defended two doctoral dissertations at the University of Berne, and published thousands of pages in several languages (not only in Serbian but also in German, English and Russian), it seems that such image of Velimirović has remained in the shadows. In the public discourse, a different image of Bishop Nikolaj Velimirović has prevailed, constructed with or without intention at the end of the last century. That is how Nikolaj, who was a village shepherd that guarded his flock with a flute in the vicinity of Valjevo, has overshadowed Nicholai who was awarded an honorary doctorate at the University of Columbia.","PeriodicalId":53322,"journal":{"name":"Kultura Skopje","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82582343","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}

Endo Shusaku: The writer of inculturation 远藤修作:文化作家

{"title":"Endo Shusaku: The writer of inculturation","authors":"Vedran Golijanin","doi":"10.5937/kultura2379171g","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/kultura2379171g","url":null,"abstract":"Endo Shusaku's oeuvre is a fascinating literary attempt at reconciliation of (Western) Christianity and Japanese culture. As a Christian and a Japanese, Endo was a living embodiment of this religious and cultural struggle, but he was also a writer and thus in a fitting position to express the agonies of identity crisis that he and his Christian compatriots had to endure for centuries. Endo was, in other words, interested in the mission process known as inculturation, which signifies specific ways in which Christianity becomes a natural part of any given culture. The success of this process depends on the identification of the most important causes of conflict between Christianity and culture, while the solutions usually tend to produce something new. In most cases of successful inculturation, new images of Christ were produced in accordance with the religious mentality of the baptized community. Throughout his writings, Endo has managed to offer several such images. His Christ is a Suffering Servant of God, similar to the one described by Isaiah, a companion figure (dohansha), and a merciful God full of motherly love. While based on the Bible, these images are, at the same time, inspired by Japanese religious traditions, specifically Buddhist notions of merciful buddhas and bodhisattvas. Several controversial details in Endo's novels have aroused suspicions among Catholic clergymen, such as the presumed justification of apostasy in Silence and the pluralist tone of Deep River, but Endo was not trying to justify Asian religious mentality to Westerners. On the contrary, he was trying to present Christianity to the Japanese audience using the religious motifs they were familiar with. Thus, one might interpret Endo's images of Christ as an \"experimental\" inculturation - theologically imperfect but nevertheless valuable for pointing out the most significant issues in the evangelization of Japan.","PeriodicalId":53322,"journal":{"name":"Kultura Skopje","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82455934","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}
