Pienoisevankeliumi Raamatun suomentamisen pienoismallina

2018

Pienoisevankeliumiksi kutsuttu Johanneksen evankeliumin jae 3:16 on yksi tunnetuimpia raamatunkohtia, sillä sen katsotaan sisältävän koko Uuden testamentin ydinsanoman. Sitä on arveltu Raamatun useimmin siteeratuksi jakeeksi, ja keskeisen asemansa vuoksi se on saattanut saada eri kielissä omat itsenäiset nimityksensä.1 Pienoisevankeliumin suomenkielinen teksti on tunnettu ilmeisesti jo ennen Mikael Agricolan Uutta testamenttia (1548). Siitä on nimittäin parikin toisintoa sekä Agricolan Rukouskirjassa (1544) että käsikirjan ja messun sisältävässä Westhin koodeksissa (1540-luvulta). On kuitenkin huomattava, että Agricolan raamatunsuomennoksissa ei ole vielä jaejakoa, eikä sitä ole myöskään en…

Religious Struggle and Psychological Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Religious Support and Meaning Making

2020

Although a variety of studies have found robust links between religious/spiritual (r/s) struggle and poorer well-being, only a few have examined the means by which r/s struggle affects mental well-being. The present paper aims to examine religious support and meaning making as mediators of the relationship between r/s struggle and well-being. The study included 226 adults, 108 women and 118 men, aged between 17 and 78 years. We applied the Religious and Spiritual Struggle Scale, Religious Support Scale, Meaning Making Scale, and Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results demonstrated that both religious support and meaning making were mediators in the relationship between r/s struggles and…

Innenfra eller utenfra, faglig eller personlig? Perspektiver i religions- og livssynsundervisningen belyst ut fra internasjonal debatt

2019

Artikkelen drøfter to perspektivspenn knyttet til religions- og livssyns-undervisning: innenfra kontra utenfra og faglig kontra personlig. På bakgrunn av religionsvitenskapelige og religionsdidaktiske diskusjoner argumenteres det for et faglig perspektivmangfold i undervisningen. Det faglige innenfraperspektivet fremmer elevenes toleranse og kognitive empati med annerledes tenkende, samt at det gir mulighet for gjenkjennelse av eget livssyn. Det faglige utenfraperspektivet fremmer evnen til objektiv og kritisk vitenskapelig tenkning. Begge fremmer faglig innsikt. Selv om læreren kan være åpen om eget livssyn, skal dette ikke påvirke undervisningen. Elevenes individuelle livssynssammensetnin…

Views on Religious Freedom among Young People in Belarus and Norway: Similarities and Contrasts

Mission versus ethics in 1 Corinthians 9? ‘Implicit ethics’ as an aid in analysing New Testament texts

2012

The central question concerning how mission and ethics are related arises within the context of the understanding of ethics itself and in this way often leads back to the familiar ‘indicative and imperative’ model. This oversimplified approach, however, is ultimately inadequate for the Pauline ethic in general and for the particular problem concerning mission and ethics. In this article, 1 Corinthians 9 was drawn upon as an example for the ‘implicit ethics’ model, a model which allows for a more nuanced presentation of the grounds and justification for behaviour and action. Through this approach it became clear that the proclamation of the Gospel does not have to be ‘unethical’; rather, it …

Făgăraș as Jerusalem? Interethnic and interreligious ethos in Transylvania

2017

The study presents Transylvania as a space of ethnic-religious tolerance, having as a case studythe image of the town Făgăraș, as depicted in Eginald Schlattner’s novels. This space appearsas one of a heavenly nuance, based on a long tradition of coexistence of the members ofdifferent ethnic groups and religions. However, the inter-war and post-war period means theemergence of new challenges posed by the confrontation with the harmful effects of the twoideologies: Nazism and Communism. In this way, the dramas of the socio-historical contextinterweave with elements forming young Eginald. They will remain a constant in the writer’slife, offering Făgăraș the role of a forming educational array…

Tržní hospodářství v katolickém sociálním učení – historický přehled a sociálněetická analýza

2016

Catholic social teaching, beginning in the 19th century, aimed at nurturing and improving Christian morality in the emerging industrialized societies. However, several significant studies demonstrate that changing social structures were also responsible for the ‘social question’ of the time. Consequently bishops, such as Ketteler, fought for social reforms and a new social order. Nevertheless, the idea that free market economy could play a significant role in coordinating economic agents seemed foreign to Catholic social teaching. In this paper, I argue that today Catholic social teaching acknowledges and appreciates market economies, if and insofar as they are regulated and understood in t…
