Pre-revolutionary Russian Theological Academies in the testimonies of Their Serbian Students
No full textВоспоминания сербов, учившихся в духовных школах России во второй половине XIX и в начале XX веков, представляют исторический интерес. В настоящей статье рассматриваются мемуарные записи, один официальный отчет, предоставленный сербским церковным властям, а также полемика о русском академическом бого- словии, опубликованная в сербских церковных периодических изданиях. Среди авторов этих исторических свидетельств есть личности, игравшие в те времена важную роль в жизни Сербской Церкви: митрополит Михаил (Йованович), епископ Никодим (Милаш), Любомир Райич (впоследствии епископ Владимир), протоиерей Стеван Димитриевич. Приведенные в настоящей работе исторические свидетельства представляют собой ценный источник сведений о том, как на рубеже XIX–XX вв. к русским духовным школам относилась церковная общественность в Сербии.This paper brings particular exemplars of the testimonies about Pre-revolutionary Russian Theological Academies that are brought their Serbian Students. They were written during the second half of the nineteenth century and in the beginning of the twentieth century. This work examines the notes in the memoire forms, one official report to the Serbian Church authorities, and one polemic about the Russian academic theology in the Serbian Church print. The authors of these testimonies were important persons in the life of the Serbian Orthodox Church: Metropolitan Mihajlo (Jovanovic), Bishop Nikodim (Milas), Ljubomir Rajic (Bishop Vladimir), and Protopresbyter Stevan Dimitrijevic.

No full textThe Immortality Faith of Christ and the Ethos of Not Accepting the Death of Saint Sava
No full textУ раду се разматра богословска мисао Светог Саве у контексту егзистенцијалног и сотириолошког прихватања бесмртне вере Христове. Једна од тема која доминира у богословљу Светог Саве јесте човекова могућност динамичког достизања пуноће егзистенције и живота, заснована на хришћанском етосу неприхватања смрти и кроз окушање бесмртности у Христу. У богословском речнику Светог Саве употребљава се синтагма "духовна наука", која означава проповедану свету веру Божију, бесмртну веру Христову, која човека спасоносно води ка извору живота. Бесмртна вера Христова човеку пружа "бесмртни дар Христов - да не умре никада", што представља богословско-антрополошки концепт Светог Саве, који има искључиво христолошко-еклисиолошки садржај и оваплоћује саму истину људског постојања и смисао хришћанског живота. Основно промишљање Светог Саве о истинском животу и бесмртности јесте превасходно повезано са причешћивањем божанственим светињама, односно са заједничарењем са Источником Живота, са Христом, у Божанственој Литургији.This paper discusses the theological thought of St. Sava in the context of the existential and sotiriological acceptance of the immortal faith of Christ. One of the dominant themes in theology of the St. Sava is human's possibility of dynamic reaching the fullness of existence and life, based on the Christian ethos of non accepting the death and through the tasting of immortality in Christ. In the theological vocabulary of St. Sava there is used the syntagm "spiritual science", that means a preached Saint faith of God, the immortal faith of Christ, which undoubtedly leads man to the source of life. The immortal faith of Christ gives a man the "immortal gift of Christ - that he would never die", and that represents theological-anthropological concept of St. Sava, which has exclusively christological-ecclesiological content and incarnates the very truth of human existence and the meaning of Christian life. The main consideration of Saint Sava about true life and immortality is primarily connected with communion by the divine shrines, and that is by communion with the Source of Life, with Christ, in the Divine Liturgy
Adaptation of Lexis of Church-slavonic Origin in Academic Theological Works in Serbian and English Languages
No full textОвај рад бави се лексиком црквенословенског порекла у теолошким академским и научно-популарним радовима. Истраживање ће бити поткрепљено одговарајућим примерима добијених анализом репрезентативног корпуса еми- нентних аутора теолошких научних радова на српском и енглеском говорном подручју. Поред тога, биће спроведена и статистичка анализа датих текстова како би се истраживање употпунило и конкретним процентуалним подацима.This study indicates that each branch of science, including theology, has a particular terminology in accordance with the object and method of its research, and it is the most distinctive characteristic of the language of science. In this work, the authors limited themselves to the study of nomenclatures of Slavonic origin in the theological academic papers. Numerous Slovenian neologisms represent the essential characteristic, richness and a special layer of lexis of theological works. They permeate the language of scientific papers at the level of generally used lexis, linking it in this way with the works of religious style, and making it special and very different from the style of the works of other fields of science. In Serbian language they are phonologically and morphologically adapted or sometimes copied in its original form, while in the English language they are adapted mainly by the means of a kind of “adapted transliteration”, or the combination of methods of transcription and transliteration
Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy of Saint Sava
No full textУ раду се разматрају основни аспекти православне вере и животног делања Светог Саве првог архиепископа Српске православне цркве. Рад посебно истиче и анализира нераскидиво и нераздељиво јединство праве вере и правог живљења по Богу, према учењу Светог Саве. Овај темељни однос, представља везу и неизоставно јединство Истине и побожног благочештивог живота, ортодоксије и ортопраксије. Ови појмови у православној теолошкој мисли немају моралистичко-пијетистичку конотацију, него су пре свега богословски изрази, истовремено догматски и етички. Архиепископ Српски ову истину о узајамној повезаности и међусобној условљености праве вере и исправног живота (ортодоксије и ортопраксије), библијско-светоотачки сведочи и приказује као темељ нашег хришћанског бића и живота.In this paper, the author discusses basic aspects of Orthodox faith and deeds of St. Sava, the First Archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church. This article especially emphasizes and analyses the imperishable and inseparable unity of the rightful faith and the rightful life in God, according to the teachings of St. Sava. This fundamental relationship represents a connection and an inevitable unity of the True and pious devoted life, Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy. These terms in Orthodoxy do not have moralistic pietistic connotation, but above all they are theological expressions, dogmatic and ethical at the same time. The Serbian Archbishop had biblically and patristicly testified to this truth about the interconnection and mutual conditionality of the rightful faith and the rightful life (Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy) presenting it as the foundation of our Christian being and existence
Paul’s Language as a Paradigm of Theological Speech
No full textCilj ovoga rada jeste da ukaže, s jedne strane, na važnost i značaj teološkog jezika apostola Pavla kao paradigmatskog modela komunikacije i sporazumevanja, a sa druge strane, na činjenicu da je njegov jezik imao oduvek ogromne praktične implikacije na polju hrišćanske misije i života Crkve u svetu. Rad je po svom sadržaju i strukturi podeljen na dve tematske celine. U prvoj se obrađuju pojam i značenje jezika kao sredstva komunikacije i sporazumevanja Crkve u odnosu na svet i čoveka, s jedne strane, i odnos ranohrišćanske Crkve i apostola Pavla prema sakralnom jeziku, sa druge strane. U drugoj celini analiziraju se konkretni primeri Pavlovog teološkog jezika i njegova primena u konkretnim misionarskim aktivnostima, naročito u problematičnim situacijama prilikom dodira sa drugim kulturama i religijama toga vremena. Na kraju se, u vidu zaključka, donose konkretne konstatacije da jezik Apostola Pavla, iako artikulisan pre dve hiljade godina, može biti aktuelan i da može da posluži kao paradigma teološkog govora i komunikacije Crkve sa savremenim svetom.The aim of this paper is to point out, on the one hand, the importance and significan- ce of the theological language of the Apostle Paul as a paradigmatic model of communication and, on the other hand, the fact that his language has always had enormous practical implications in the field of Christian mission and life of the Church in the world. By its content and structure, the work is divided into two thematic units. The first one deals with the notion and meaning of language as a means of communicating and understanding the Church with respect to the world and man, on the one hand, and the attitude of the early Church and the apostle Paul toward sacred language, on the other. In the second unit, we analyze concrete examples of Paul's theological language and its application in specific missionary activities, especially in problematic situations involving contact with other cultures and religions of that time. Finally, in closure, concrete conclusions are made that the language of the Apostle Paul, although articulated two thousand years ago, can be relevant and can serve as a paradigm of theological speech and communication of the Church with the contemporary world
La Sacra scrittura nella vita della Chiesa Ortodossa: La questione della lettura orante della Bibbia (Lectio divina)
No full textU članku se analizira mjesto i uloga Svetoga pisma u životu Pravoslavne Crkve, ali se i ispituje praksa molitvenoga (duhovnoga) čitanja Svetoga pisma, tradicionalno nazvanoga Lectio divina u zapadnoj Crkvi. Autor ponajprije nudi osnovne elemente teološkoga pristupa pitanju Svetoga pisma, Biblije, Riječi Božje, tako da prvi dio rada ima jaču ekleziološku notu. U drugom analitičkom poglavlju, temeljenom na teološkim hipotezama, autor pokazuje praksu individualnoga čitanja Biblije nekada i sada u Pravoslavnoj Crkvi. Zbog toga su zastupljeni osnovni elementi asketske teologije i pravoslavne antropologije. U zaključnom dijelu pak možemo pronaći autorske vizije o izazovima Biblije pred suvremenim kršćanima.L’articolo è un’analisi del posto e del ruolo delle Sacre Scritture nella vita della Chiesa ortodossa, nonché l’esame della pratica della lettura orante (spirituale) delle Scritture, tradizionalmente chiamata la Lectio divina nella Chiesa occidentale. L’autore offre innanzitutto gli elementi di base dell’approccio teologico alla questione delle Scritture, della Bibbia, della Parola di Dio, in modo che la prima parte dell’opera abbia una nota ecclesiologica più forte. Nel secondo capitolo analitico, basato su ipotesi teologiche, l’autore mostra la pratica della lettura individuale della Bibbia una volta e ora nell’Ortodossia. Per questo ragione, si rappresentano gli elementi di base della teologia ascetica e dell’antropologia ortodossa. In conclusione, tuttavia, possiamo trovare le visioni dell’autore riguardanti le sfide della Bibbia davanti ai cristiani contemporanei
The Christological Aspects of Hebrew Ideograms
No full textThe linguistic form of the Hebrew Old Testament retained its ancient ideogram values included in the mystical directions and meanings originating from the divine way of addressing people. As such, the Old Hebrew alphabet has remained a true lexical treasure of the God-established mysteries of the ecclesiological way of existence. The ideographic meanings of the Old Hebrew language represent the form of a mystagogy through which God spoke to the Old Testament fathers about the mysteries of the divine creation, maintenance, and future re-creation of the world. Thus, the importance of the ideogram is reflected not only in the recognition of the Christological elements embedded in the very structure of the Old Testament narrative, but also in the ever-present working structure of the existence of the world initiated by the divine economy of salvation. In this way both the Old Testament and the New Testament Israelites testify to the historicizing character of the divine will by which the world was created and by which God in an ecclesiological way is changing and re-creating the world
Biblical Foundations of Saint Sava's Mission
No full textНајвећи српски просветитељ и мисионар који је поставио чврсте темеље хришћанске вере је Свети Сава. Цео свој живот бринуо се да међу Србима заживи чиста хришћанска вера. Одмах по повратку у Србију, 1208. године, набављао је књиге, писао типике и Номоканон да просвети Србе. Али да би мисионарење било успешно, потрудио се да Српска православна црква стекне аутокефалност. Свети Сава је својим проповедима и сам много мисионарио. Међутим, примећујемо да Срби често наглашавају своје светосавље, а да заправо превиђају хришћанско утемељење Светог Саве. Зато би се у раду нарочито истакли библијски мотиви који су подстакли Светог Саву на мисионарење, што би се саветовало и савременим пастирима Цркве.The greatest Serbian enlightener and missionary, who had laid solid foundations of Christian faith in Serbia, was Saint Sava. He devoted his whole life to ensure that the Serbs truly embraced pure Christian faith. Immediately after returning to Serbia, in 1208, he procured books and wrote typikons and the Nomocanon to enlighten the Serbs. However, in order for his missionary work to be successful, he also invested great efforts in providing autocephaly for the Serbian Orthodox Church. In his sermons, Saint Sava often preached his missionary ideas. What we perceive, however, is that the Serbs tend to emphasize that they cherish the tradition and the spirit of Saint Sava, but that, at the same time, they disregard his true Christian inspirations. Thus, this paper intends to lay emphasis on the Biblical motifs which encouraged Saint Sava to pursue missionary work. The current shepherds of the Church should be advised to do the same
