Katecheza w szkole czy poza szkołą?
2012
In the contemporary religious education, a great amount of deliberations is devoted to the subject of religious education (by whom? to whom?), its contents (what?), aims (what for?), methods and means (how?), conditioning (where? when?), but only occasionally questions are raised about the need and justification for religious education. Meanwhile, the question of justification for religious education is gaining more and more importance in the situation of increasing secularization of social and personal life. It is important to go back and recall these arguments that justify religious education in various educational environments. The contemporary conditioning of catechesis is undergoing si…
Den kultur- och litteraturhistoriska gestalten i den lettiska novellen “Svētā Briģita” (“Heliga Birgitta”) av Jānis Ezeriņš
2019
Cultural-historical and literary gestalt in the Latvian short story “Saint Birgitta” (“Heliga Birgitta”) by Jānis EzeriņšThe Latvian author Jānis Ezeriņš’s (1891–1924) literary heritage includes, among other texts, the collection of short stories Fantastiska novele un citas (Fantastic short story and others, 1923). The collection contains the short story “Svētā Briģita” (“Saint Birgitta”), in which the author has used the image of a saint, which is very well known in the history of culture, literature and religion. The image can be related both to Celtic mythology and the historical Swedish personality, who had been the founder of Vadstena monastery and a literary author herself (approx. 13…
The principles of bioethics and the growth of an intercultural bioethics
2010
En este trabajo defiendo que el debate internacional sobre los principios de la bioética es uno de los más fructíferos para construir los fundamentos de una bioética intercultural. Tras recordar en qué consisten los principios de la bioética, tal y como han sido defendidos por Tom L. Beauchamp y James F. Childress en Estados Unidos, ofrezco una breve mirada a estos principios desde Europa, América Latina, África y Asia. Continúo con una reflexión sobre dichos principios desde algunas de las grandes religiones del mundo. Todo ello me permite ofrecer importantes elementos para construir las bases de lo que podríamos llamar una «bioética intercultural». In this article, I defend that the inter…
Obraz Hrista v romane Čingiza Ajtmatova "Plaha"
2011
Aitmatov introduced a biblical motif into his novel – he chose Christ examination by Pilate. The writer extended the meaning of the scene, he altered its essence and “genre,” changing it into philosophical disputation. He also invented the story of Christ sailing with his mother on the Nile and their miraculous rescue by a crocodile. These scenes are presented in such a way that they remind the myth of the birth and death of Christ which allows rating Aitmatov's figure of Christ to the fifth category of literary embodiment of Christ proposed by T. Ziołkowski and called CHRIST AS A MYTH. A figure of Christ in the novel is a symbol of the highest perfection of humanity.
Christian Hoburg and Seventeenth-century Mysticism
1967
The subject of the present paper is only seemingly a national German development—it has, in fact, to do with the universal situation of the Christian Church in modern times. The question of mysticism runs through almost all denominations. The imposing French Roman Catholic Dictionnaire de spiritualité ascétique et mystique shows it in every column. We know how important a contribution to Christian preaching and devotional literature was made by the early Greek and Oriental monks, like Ephraem Syrus, Johannes Klimakos and others, how fundamental and lasting theological concepts were developed on mystical lines by Clement of Alexandria and Dionysius the Areopagite, by Bernard of Clairvaux, by…
Skolens bibelfortellinger
2022
Formålet til dette arkivet, kalt «Skolens bibelfortellinger», er å gjøre allment tilgjengelig, bl.a. for forskning, et utvalg på noe over 600 elevtekster. Tekstene stammer fra en større samling skrive- og tegnebøker brukt i skolens religions- og livssynsfag i tiden 1955-2017. Tekstene dokumenterer en omfattende skolefagutvikling. Etter Læreplanverket for Kunnskapsløftet 2020 er såkalt fortellingsdidaktikk nedtonet. Dette arkivet vil inspirere til forsknings- og utviklingsarbeid om store og små kulturtradisjoners / religioners fortellinger og autoritetstilskrevne tekster – og deres relevans for nye elevgenerasjoner.

INTERACTION BETWEEN RELIGION AND POLITICS UN WESTERN AND EASTERN EUROPE: THE COMMON AND THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES
2009
The common and the distinctive features in the interaction between religion and politics in Western and Eastern Europe are discussed in the paper. At the beginning, the relative, flowing character of the concepts used is outlined, and the difficulties are indicated in making generalizations, since Europe sees great diversity regarding the involvement of religions in politics. The author also outlines the causes for greater interest of religious groups in politics – a large number of religious practitioners refuse to acquiesce with the place allocated for religion in the private space, where it was positioned by the Enlightenment. In the civil society, which strives to facilitate the partici…
