No, dobro je poznata činjenica da ona za svoje konkretno ostvarivanje uvijek ima potrebu za izražajnim formama kulturnog reda. Te su forme, također uvijek, na različite načine uvjetovane konkretnim oblicima, okvirima i elementima ljudskog suživota i organizacije, među kojima se ističe grad. Prema više nego jasnim i mnogobrojnim socio-demogarfskim pokazateljima, grad je, u različitim intenzitetima i oblicima, već stoljećima i desetljećima posebna meta tolikih milijuna ljudi koji upravo u njemu nastoje ostvariti svoju želju za osmišljenim i sretnim životom. Drugim riječima, grad je već duže vrijeme, a danas posebno, u ekspanziji. Ona u mnogome utječe i na suvremene načine življenja vjere u gradu. Ovaj rad posvećen je temi teološko-pastoralnog razlučivanja današnjeg stanja prakse vjere u gradu u hrvatskim i njemu kulturalno bližim europskim gradskim sredinama, kao i teološko-praktičnom ukazivanju na oznake trendova vezanih za to područje koji će očito biti aktualni u budućnosti. Budući da pitanje konkretnog ostvarivanja kršćanske vjere u tim okvirima nipošto nije marginalno društveno pitanje, ono po sebi zahtjeva što sustavniji pristup, osobito pod vidom teološkog proučavanja uvjetovanosti življenja vjere u kulturalnim promjenama grada. Stoga se ovdje naglasak stavlja na povezivanje elemenata vjere i određenih novijih kulturalnih formi s ciljem traženja mogućih rješenja koja će u budućnosti pomoći oko što kvalitetnijeg susreta ljudskih kultura i vjere u gradu","PeriodicalId":53889,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovska Smotra-Ephemerides Theologicae Zagrabienses","volume":"07 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85909948","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}

Premda su pripadali istom teološkom spektru inkluzivizma, nisu pripadali istoj teološkoj školi jer dok je Dupuis naglasak stavljao na prisutnost Krista u drugim religijama, de Lubac je u religijama vidio isključivo čežnju za Bogom koja svoje ispunjenje nalazi u kršćanskoj objavi. Unatoč razlikama između Dupuisa i de Lubaca, obojica su svoju teologiju religija gradila na antropološkim temeljima, točnije na Origenovoj duhovnoj antropologiji kojoj su međutim dali drukčije tumačenje. Dupuis je tako duhovno iskustvo čovjeka koji živi izvan kršćanske ekonomije spasenja promatrao kao način na koji Duh Božji dolazi do čovjeka omogućujući mu sudjelovanje u Božjoj istini i životu, a de Lubac je to isto iskustvo tumačio kao susret s dubinom vlastitog bića, sa slikom Božjom, koju svaki čovjek posjeduje, no ne i kao susret s Bogom. Dok Dupuis mistiku izvan kršćanstva smatra autentičnim načinom kako Bog ulazi u život ljudi, de Lubac smatra kako se izvan kršćanstva uglavnom može govoriti samo o naravnoj mistici, no ne i pravoj mistici. Dupuisova i de Lubacova teologija religija počivaju stoga na različitom viđenju odnosa milosti i naravi jer dok Dupuis veći naglasak stavlja na imanentnost Božjeg djelovanja, de Lubac je svoju pažnju više usmjerio na transcendentnost odnosa između Boga i čovjeka. Unatoč razlikama u vrednovanju duhovnog iskustva čovjeka koji živi izvan kršćanske ekonomije spasenja, teologije Jacquesa Dupuisa i Henrija de Lubaca važan su doprinos boljem razumijevanju načina kako Bog djeluje u čovjeku.","PeriodicalId":53889,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovska Smotra-Ephemerides Theologicae Zagrabienses","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85731238","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}

Dokument tumači osam biblijskih tekstova koji problematiziraju homoseksualnu praksu: Post 19; Suci 19; Pnz 22,5; Lev 18,20; 20,13; 1 Kor 6,9; 1 Tim 1,10; Rim 1,26-27).

Članak najduže raspravlja o pomalo neočekivanoj interpretaciji koju taj dokument PBK-a donosi o grijehu Sodome te je kritički prosuđuje. Autor čita brojeve posvećene homoseksualnosti u kontekstu opće strukture biblijske antropologije kako je izložena u rečenom dokumentu te zaključuje da istina o homoseksualnosti nije sadržana tek u malobrojnim biblijskim tekstovima o homoseksualnosti, nego ponajprije u okviru cjelokupne biblijske antropologije utemeljene na teologiji stvaranja (usp. Post 1 – 3). Način na koji dokument Papinske biblijske komisije Što je čovjek? tumači grijeh Sodome sugerira da homoseksualnost nije za Bibliju najveći grijeh.

Given the fact that ecological problems also have moral and spiritual roots, the Eastern and Western Christian churches have been trying to give their own contribution to the awakening of ecological awareness through the prism of ecological spirituality based on theocentric ecology. This article will elaborate on four common religious principles of the Eastern and Western Christian churches that constitute the ecumenical backbone of the praxis of ecological spirituality. These are: conversion, solidarity, ascetic ethos, and Eucharistic ethos. Ecological spirituality, especially in its theocentric ecology, has been emphasized by Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. The article will, therefore, primarily focus on their texts and statements in which they encourage believers, as well as all (non) religious people of good will, to return to and practice ecological spirituality.

Evangelization as a witness of encountering the risen Lord requires growth in quality and removal of obstacles for the encounter of Christ, the prime-evangelist, with every human person, resulting in the transformation of humanity within, into a new being. This love of Christ encounters man through its own transcendental properties by overriding man’s inattentiveness, ignorance, and adversity, with all gentleness and respect, within an interpersonal »I -Thou« dialogue. The methodological order by which Hans Urs von Balthasar realigns the transcendentals of Being as Love – beauty, goodness, truth – offers a promising frame and substance for the interpretation of the qualities of New evangelization and those who aspire to practice it. In the encounter with the beauty of the Lord (his Glory) the human person becomes enraptured by it, resulting in religious conversion (demonstratio religiosa). Such a person has her ardor ignited, with an ever stronger desire of responding to the call to »come and see« and »come and follow«. Hence commences the central phase, the drama of imitating Christ; by meeting the one that is Good, the ardent evangelist finds and exhibits a method: existing by playing a supporting role to Christ’s kenotic love on the stage of the world, thus going through the process of moral conversion (demonstration Christiana) and becoming ever better himself. The final phase of obedience and self-emptying (in continuity with the rapture and the drama), inseparable from a life of prayer, consists in reflecting and expressing the truth lived in a saintly existence, the unique personal form of a true lover of Wisdom, for whom »to die is to gain«. In such a manner, the world which seeks witnesses more than teachers is offered abundant reason to enter an existential encounter with Being as Love in the process of intellectual conversion (demonstration Catholica) towards Christ as universal concretum.","PeriodicalId":53889,"journal":{"name":"Bogoslovska Smotra-Ephemerides Theologicae Zagrabienses","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79910587","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}

On the one hand, we have supporters of the integrity and the compositional unity of the letter, and, on the other hand, we have supporters of various partition theories that view the letter as a compilation of many different original letters and emphasize its composite nature. The main goal of the article is to fortify the position of a unified literary composition that can be easily understood even without the divisive partition theories. The structure of this work discloses an additional intention to differentiate between the issue of authenticity, which deals exclusively with the person of the author, and the issue of integrity, which is concerned with the composition of the letter. The first part provides a brief examination of the authenticity and supplies both external and internal evidence in its favor. Whereas Paul’s authorship has not been seriously doubted, the unity of the letter has been questioned by many scholars, even though most modern scholars support the integrity (unity) of the letter. The second part lays down the main points of various partition theories that view the letter as a compilation of many letters and of a middle ground hypothesis that wishes to take a neutral stand by suggesting different editions of the letter. However, the latter hypothesis appears to be only a variant of the composite theory since the end-proposition suggests that First Corinthians is a twofold composite letter. Each of the two groups of proposals receives significant responses from the supporters of the integrity who refute the scarce evidence by the former and offer further evidence in favor of the literal unity of the letter. The third and final part synthesizes and expands the claims of the letter’s integrity and underlines its unified composition. In addition, it conveys the results of a literary-rhetorical analysis that provides a convincing rhetorical and epistolary structure of First Corinthians which demonstrates both thematic and rhetorical unity of the letter when regarded as a unified deliberative letter urging concord. The concluding synthesis emphasizes the fact that the middle ground hypothesis is still in the search of its supposed neutral position and that the partition theories still lack convincing and conclusive evidence against the integrity and unity of the letter. The multitude of often contradicting partition hypotheses and similar attempts to explain the letter as a compilation of many letters or as a product of different editions represents the best evidence against their validity. This article emphasizes that the present letter that we have at our disposal is not a compilation of many letters, but a single non-composite document that Paul the Apostle himself originally wrote, even if it was written over an extended period.
