Marriage, sexuality, and holiness : aspects of marital ethics in the "Corpus Paulinum"
2011
A fundamental change in the understanding of marriage becomes apparent in the first century A.D., described by M. Foucault as the transition from a “matrimonial” to a “conjugal” marital concept. While early Christianity participated in this development, it also influenced it at decisive points and developed its own marital ethics. Through a consideration of philosophical (Musonius, Plutarch) and early Judaic (esp. Qumran, Jubilees) texts, this article outlines the marital concepts existing in the NT environment. In this context, the reciprocal community and the duration of the marital relationship are emphasized while sexuality remains wholly limited to reproduction.…
A Generative Model of the Mutual Escalation of Anxiety Between Religious Groups
2018
We propose a generative agent-based model of the emergence and escalation of xenophobic anxiety in which individuals from two different religious groups encounter various hazards within an artificial society. The architecture of the model is informed by several empirically validated theories about the role of religion in intergroup conflict. Our results identify some of the conditions and mechanisms that engender the intensification of anxiety within and between religious groups. We define mutually escalating xenophobic anxiety as the increase of the average level of anxiety of the agents in both groups over time. Trace validation techniques show that the most common conditions under which …
Forecasting Changes in Religiosity and Existential Security with an Agent-Based Model
2018
We employ existing data sets and agent-based modeling to forecast changes in religiosity and existential security among a collective of individuals over time. Existential security reflects the extent of economic, socioeconomic and human development provided by society. Our model includes agents in social networks interacting with one another based on the education level of the agents, the religious practices of the agents, and each agent's existential security within their natural and social environments. The data used to inform the values and relationships among these variables is based on rigorous statistical analysis of the International Social Survey Programme Religion Module (ISSP) and…

Exploring the “Cozy Cabal of Academics, Dealers and Collectors” through the Schøyen Collection
2020
In the wake of the trade in ancient materials, several ethical and political issues arise that merit concern: The decimation of the cultural heritage of war-torn countries, proliferation of corruption, ideological connotations of orientalism, financial support of terrorism, and participation in networks involved in money laundering, weapon sales, human trafficking and drugs. Moreover, trafficking and trading also have a harmful effect on the fabric of academia itself. This study uses open sources to track the history of the private Schø

Teologia chińska. Szansa czy zagrożenie?
2022
Chinese theology is a challenge for Christianity. On the one hand, it presents new opportunities, and on the other, it prompts the redefinition of many terms, dogmas, and ways of thinking. Under the influence of Chinese theology, classical theology may become sinicized, i.e. influenced by the Chinese way of perceiving the world, man and the upernatural. Without knowing the philosophy, religion, art and language of the Chinese, Chinese theology may cause fear and apprehension. This can only be overcome by learning about the Asian world without fear.
Niepokojący wschód azjatyckiej teologii. Wprowadzenie do studium
2021
Teologia w Polsce nie dysponuje tłumaczeniami ani opracowaniami w zakresie teologii i duchowości azjatyckiej. W dodatku na płaszczyźnie pastoralnej kontakt z Dalekim Wschodem nacechowany jest lękiem, wynikającym z braku wiedzy. Instytut badań nad Teologią i Duchowością Dalekiego Wschodu jest próbą odpowiedzi na zapotrzebowanie integracji środowiska naukowego, zajmującego się teologią i duchowością Dalekiego Wschodu. Niniejsza publikacja jest zaproszeniem do współpracy.
Choan Seng Song - teologia z łona Azji
2016
Choan Seng Song (1929–) jest prezbiteriańskim teologiem, postulującym, aby teologia otworzyła się na „trzecie oko” – symbol azjatyckiego uprawiania mądrości, z jej rodzimą hermeneutyką, kategoriami, wrażliwością i symboliką. Dualizm, wprowadzony przez tradycyjną teologię zachodnią, polegający na radykalnym oddzieleniu stworzenia i zbawienia, powoduje uznanie religii niechrześcijańskich za bezwartościowe. Bóg jest zbawczo obecny w swoim stworzeniu, a wcielenie (enfleshment) Boga w Chrystusie doprowadziło całe stworzenie do zjednoczenia z Bogiem. Bóg jest obecny we wszystkich kulturach implicite, a w Chrystusie objawił się explicite. Celem misji nie jest uczynienie ze wszystkich chrześcijan, …
Religious spaces as continually evolving modernities: Forms of encounter with modernity in Christian Orthodoxy and Islam
2022
The present study deals with the encounter with modernity in two neighbouring religious spaces: Christian Orthodoxy and Islam. Relying on Eisenstadt’s theory about multiple modernities and on its further developments by Thomas Mergel and Kristina Stoeckl, Islamic and Christian-Orthodox dynamics in relation to the challenges of modernity are examined under two aspects: first, the decoupling between religion and culture as elaborated by Olivier Roy, and second, the development of modernist and fundamentalist currents as phenomena of modernity. The study contributes to the sketching of the profile of Islamic and the Christian-Orthodox modernities, pointing both to some of the commonalities and…
