Az amerikai Rowe professzor 1925-ben megjelent könyvében azt a megállapítást teszi, hogy az amerikai vallásos élet egyik jellemző vonása egy bizonyos speciálisan amerikai vallásos önállóság kifejlesztése. Az amerikai protestantizmus fokozatosan függetlenné tette magát — az író szerint — az európai protestáns egyházak hagyománytiszteletétől és intézményesített szervezeti formáitól. De fundamentalizmus az orthodoxiának konzervatív védelmezője. Konzervatív voltából következik, hogy az egyházi élet
történeti fundamentumain veti meg a lábát s szigorúan ragaszkodik

John Calvin transformed the theology and law of sex, marriage and family life. Building on a generation of Protestant reformers, Calvin constructed a comprehensive new theology and law that made the conclusion and dissolution of marriage, the nurturing and welfare of children, family cohesion and support, sexual sin and crime essential concerns for both church and state. He drew the Consistory and Council of Geneva into a creative new alliance to guide and govern the reformation of the intimate domestic sphere.
Der Vortrag würdigt zu Beginn Philipp Melanchthons Bedeutung für die Reformation und den Aufbau des Bildungswesens in Siebenbürgen und wendet sich dann seinem theologischen Hauptwerk, den Loci theologici zu. Während unter dem Einfluß des Neuprotestantismus die frühen Loci von 1521 starke Beachtung erhalten hatten, waren die späteren Fassungen der Loci in den Ruf geraten, Melanchthon habe hier seinen reformatorischen Elan verloren. Melanchthon nennt jedoch auch in seiner letzten Ausgabe der Loci 1559 die Lehre von der Rechtfertigung den Hauptinhalt der christlichen Botschaft.
Numerous debates are evoked nowadays based on the disability of establishing an interdisciplinary harmony between Christian thought and exact sciences. It may therefore be necessary to review the main fields of the human intellect, thus sciences, philosophies, arts, religions, and Christian theology. The present study provides an overview of these areas focused on their subjects, methods and views, aiming to clarify its title.

Jókai’s works have rarely been examined with respect to their religious content. In this study, I propose an analysis from this particular perspective, examining the Scripture quotations and paraphrases, metaphorical expressions and prayers of one of this author’s most famous novels, A kőszívű ember fiai (The Heartless Man’s Sons). These references attest, on the one hand, to Jokai’s faith and religious practice, and, on the other, to means of expressing the writer’s thoughts more intensely and more sensitively.
Why is there such an interest among modern Christians, in particular Reformed and Lutheran theologians, for Jesuit spiritual exercises? My answer can only be hypothetical. But one thing is certain. The spiritual exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola have an immortal soul. Thus, despite the old-fashioned character of some of its parts seeking for a reformation, in its entirety, it is able to promise spiritual benefits to Christians in this modern world as well.
This paper discusses the necessity of dialogue about the topic of creation among theology, philosophy and natural sciences. I argue that philosophy has a bridge-building role between theology and natural sciences. I aim to show why the mediation of philosophy cannot be neglected, and why a holistic approach in such an important theme as creation is necessary. I shall also invoke the ideas of László Ravasz (1882–1975) and point out that the synthesis which he argued for in his scientific papers is still useful today.
