Abstract:

The article analyzes the contribution made by Schopenhauer to the development of the movement for the protection of animals. The author reconstructs some details of Schopenhauer’s interaction with the founder of the first German societies for the protection of animals Ignaz Perner. The article discusses the criticism of the Cartesian worldview and Christian morality proposed by Schopenhauer, with which Schopenhauer associates the lawlessness of animals that was relevant for his era. The article critically reconstructs some of Schopenhauer’s judgments regarding the reflection of the status of

Abstract The first part of this contribution is devoted to my recollection of Christoph Schwöbel; both of us were pupils of Carl Heinz Ratschow, albeit at different times and in different roles. However, we both have been following a twofold counsel of our teacher, first not to restrict theology to value judgments but to strive for an ontology of Christian belief and second to work with a “Trinitarian definition of Christology”. Part two recounts the turmoil around Andreas Osiander in a turbulent time of a crisis of authority around 1550. He was in the end judged to be heretic and was excluded

Abstract:

Justification by faith stands at the core of Christian theology, affirming that sinners are declared righteous before God through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from works of the law. This article explores the historical development, theological depth, biblical foundation, and contemporary significance of this essential doctrine. Beginning with its Old and New Testament roots, we trace how the apostolic teaching shaped early Christian understanding. The Reformation era’s emphasis on sola fide (faith alone) reignited this central truth, reclaiming the Gospel’s liberating power. Yet, modern challe

Abstract:

This paper explores the significance and contemporary applicability of Protestant soteriology, focusing on the doctrine of justification. It begins by grounding its theological framework in Martin Luther's thought, examining the commonalities and distinctions between Protestant and Roman Catholic understandings of salvation within the context of ecumenical dialogue. Emphasizing the importance of justification amid contemporary faith and practical challenges, the study advocates for its reinterpretation to address existential, ethical, and societal issues today.

Abstract:

This essay sets forth a précis of the Reformed doctrine of sanctification explaining the doctrine and its relationship to the rest of the order of salvation, especially justification. The key to the Reformed doctrine of sanctification is to recognize that holiness and sanctity finds its source in union with Christ but also to recognize the priority of justification over sanctification. Greater sanctity in the Christian life is found, not in the believer’s good works, but in seeking Christ by faith alone through the means of grace (word, sacraments, and prayer).

The article analyzes the evolution of the doctrine of political loyalty of Christianity to state power and the views of the prominent Russian jurist N.N. Alekseev (1879-1964) on this issue.

Alekseev came to the conclusion that the analysis of biblical texts convinces in the absence of Christian idealization of the state and the evangelical justification of the priority of the monarchical form of government.

Abstract:

Given his insistence on the dual temporal and spiritual spheres in which Christians live in the tension of freedom and service to others, Martin Luther's theological ethics prove paradoxical. This conundrum unfolds at the intersection of Luther's doctrine of justification and consequent Christian freedom (1520), and his doctrine of two kingdoms, which elucidates the complex world in which we live (1523). How is one to live in service to the neighbor as an unconditional subject, love enemies, and uphold justice? This article explores the New Finnish School interpretation of Luther's doctrine of

In this essay I take up cudgels against a central construct in the confessional historiography of the Protestant Reformation: The notion that there existed a clear, well-defined doctrine of justification shared by all the major reformers from the earliest stages of the conflagration and that this “Reformation doctrine of justification” served as the “material principle” in the formation of the emerging Protestant self-identity.1 In contrast with this traditional view, I argue that the first-generation reformers, galvanized by Luther's protest against the indulgence trade, adopted a common “rhe

Abstract This contribution examines the lexeme ἡ ἀπολύτρωσις in the top text of Paul’s doctrine of justification in Rom 3:21–31 exegetically. In particular, one should ask how the syntagma διὰ τῆς ἀπολυτρώσεως τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ in Rom 3:24b is to be translated correctly. The interpretation is based on the hermeneutical assumption of a translation of ἀπολύτρωσις with “free purchase” or “redemption”. It is important to consider whether the propositio generalis and especially the syntagma δύναμις … εἰς σωτηρίαν in Rom 1:16–17 can contribute aspects to the decision of this translation. Last but

This paper is a detailed analysis of this latter argument, presented by Scotus in Questions on Metaphysics VII, q. 19.

<strong>Law of Moses and faith in Christ as main determinants of human’s justification in Origen’s commentarium in epistulam ad Romanos</strong> The paper is a part of the thesis addressing the issue of the human's justification in the light of the teaching of the Early-Christian writer Origen. The thesis is written on the basis of the Comment to the Letter to the Romans (from Latin - Commentarium in Epistulam ad Romanos). The Alexandrian became the pioneer of the doctrine of justification in the patristic times pointing his successors in the right direction. The thesis is focu

Abstract:

I examine the general goodwill that the New Calvinist movement feels toward C. S. Lewis, and identify what I see as an anomaly in it. I argue that New Calvinists have good reason, based on their theology, to reject C. S. Lewis as an evangelical Christian on account of his doctrine of the atonement, and that their justification for not doing so is unsatisfactory. I engage the work of John Piper and Douglas Wilson as representatives of the movement, and show that in attempting to justify Lewis they misrepresent his beliefs. However, I then argue that they are nevertheless right in their insight

Abstract:

Methodist studies of the last four decades have insisted that Methodism be seen as a distinctive intellectual tradition with its own integrity. These studies have corrected the excesses of an earlier experiential interpretation. Although some may still characterize Wesley's Christianity as “almost totally devoid of intellectual content,” the subjects of Wesley, of Methodism, and of the American Holiness Movement can now no longer be reduced to merely an unreflective warm-hearted piety. Current studies have especially highlighted several distinct Wesleyan theological developments. These include

Abstract:

Orpheus is one of the greatest historical contributions of the Thracians in European culture. He is much more than a talented poet and singer. He is a religious reformer, a priest and a Teacher, who transmits valuable knowledge to humanity. This study presents his life and influence on philosophers such as Pythagoras and Plato, the development of this influence during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and analyzes some Orphic tablets of eschatological nature. The roots of Orphic teachings are so deep, that some missionaries of the new Christian faith had to use the image of Orpheus in their

Abstract:

The article provides comparative analysis of the two interpretations and methodological strategies of substantiating the idea of power, presented in the philosophical and political concepts of L.A. Tikhomirov and B.P. Vysheslavtsev. Both philosophers considered the concept of power in the general context of the Christian worldview and raised the question of the moral justification of power. In Tikhomirov’s concept power, where it is the primary fact of social life, it receives moral justification through service to God and the moral ideal of the nation. Power is justified to the extent that it

Abstract:

The article traces the formation of Eastern Christian anthropology as a new religious and philosophical tradition within the Early Byzantine culture. The notion “Patristics” is reasoned as a corpus of ideas of the Church Fathers, both Eastern and Western. The term “Eastern Patristics” means the works by Greek-Byzantine Church Fathers, who in the theological disputes with the Western Church Fathers elaborated the Christian creed. Based on an analysis of the texts of Greek-Byzantine Church Fathers, the most important provisions of Eastern Patristics are deduced and discussed, which determined th

Abstract:

Dignitas Infinita highlights “the indispensable nature of the dignity of the human person in Christian anthropology” and warns of “ambivalent ways in which the concept is understood today.” Among those “ambivalent ways” are plural definitions of human dignity in official Catholic teaching. There is ambivalence in definitions of Catholic sexual human dignity and Catholic social human dignity, which lead to inconsistencies in the foundation and justification of moral doctrine. In this article, we first present Catholic definitions of social and sexual human dignity. Second, we explain Pope Franc

Abstract:

We typically regard biblical and natural-law ethics as two distinct approaches to Christian moral reflection. Yet, for the scholastic theologians of the high Middle Ages, the natural law was a scriptural doctrine, in the sense that the existence of a natural law is attested in Scripture. Furthermore, these scholastics took some of their starting points and substantive content, as well as justification for their systematic reflections on the natural law, from these scriptural attestations. I have argued for this point in more detail elsewhere, and I summarize these arguments in the first sectio

Abstract:

The theology of deification in the Christian tradition is fraught with misconceptions. Although it embodies the core teaching of the faith, it is not only a neglected theme of theology, but often critiqued as a Promethean distortion of the gospel and/or a semi-Pelagian heterodoxy. Hans Urs von Balthasar, through his examination of the teachings of the early Church Fathers, presents the doctrine in its Christocentric context, emphasizing its kenotic and inherently relational character. Deification is thus revealed as an antidote to the narrowly conceived notion of “justification” as salvation,

This article considers the theology of sin among Eastern ascetics of the early Byzantine period, exploring their theology’s focus, key points, and terminology. It highlights the main stages in the formation and development of monastic hamartiology by examining the contributions of three major ascetic schools: the schools of Egypt, Palestine, and Mount Sinai. Consideration of their key representatives (Evagrius Ponticus, John Cassian, Barsanuphius and John, Dorotheus of Gaza, and John Climacus) provides a panoramic view of the main streams in the development of monastic hamartiology and assesse

Abstract:

In the Millennial Era, some Christian theologians have forgotten and abandoned the doctrine of the Millennial Kingdom which in fact was inherited from the early church fathers. Even more, narrowed and sharper differences are caused by this doctrine, thus creating suspicion among the people through hypocritical Bible texts for self-justification. The presence of this scientific work aims to find out again the main points of truth contained in the Thousand Years doctrine written in God's Word. Whether the Millennium Kingdom is an event that will occur in the future or is currently taking place.
