Christ as the Covenant: Justin Martyr's Interpretation of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31.31-32
No full textThis thesis attempts to reveal a neglected facet of Justin Martyr’s idea of the new covenant (NC), with a focus on Justin’s identification of the new covenant with Christ. It is an effort to seek its Jewish origins.
Justin’s interpretation of the NC in Jeremiah 31(38).31-32 is indebted to an early liturgical tradition preserved in Luke 22 and 1 Corinthians 11. This interpretation of the NC as the Sacrament is linked with his identification of the NC with Christ, since Justin views the Eucharist as the embodiment of the divine Logos, which Justin considers to be equal to Christ. Justin’s NC does not only refer to the Eucharist, but baptism as well. Although Justin’s identification might have been partly influenced by the Kerygma Petri, which identifies the Law with the Lord, it is rather significantly influenced by the Jewish traditions.
This element in Justin’s use of the NC is shaped by the textual/exegetical traditions of the OT/Hebrew Bible such as LXX, a Jewish recension (a καίγε type/‘Theodotion’, or Aquila), and the PT tradition in its oral stage. Particularly, Justin detects the theme of the ‘coming/going out of תורה/תודה’ in Isaiah 2.3/51.4 and the Book of the Covenant—the context of the NC text of Jeremiah (30-31 [37-38])—with his knowledge of a Hebraizing reading of Jeremiah 30.19 attested in the version of Aquila; Justin’s juxtaposition of these verses in Dialogue 11 and 24 indicates that he views תורה in Isaiah 2.3 and 51.4 as identical with תודה/εὐχαριστία in Jeremiah 30.19. Moreover, Justin learned the Midrashic tradition on the water of Marah, which involves Jewish metaphors of ‘tree (of life)’ and ‘water’ as the Torah, orally from the early PT tradition. Justin’s knowledge of this Midrashic tradition, together with his recognition of LXX Jeremiah 11.19 which associates ‘tree’ with ‘bread’, and LXX Exodus 23.25 which juxtaposes ‘bread, water, and wine’, has facilitated his identification of Christ with the new Law/covenant, namely the Sacraments. The identification of the messianic symbol of ‘ruler’s staff’ with the ‘covenant of kingship’ in 4Q252 strengthens our view that Justin’s identification of the NC with Christ is rooted in Jewish traditions, since in Dialogue 86, Justin also associates ‘sceptre/rod’ with the ‘tree of life’, which is the new Law/covenant and Christ.
The findings of this thesis have an implication on the scholarly view of Justin’s use of the testimony sources. This study confirms the fact that Justin’s OT texts are often quoted from secondary sources. As far as his use of Jeremiah 31.31-32 and his OT citations in Dialogue 86 are concerned, however, his combinations and alterations of the biblical texts are related to his theological view of the NC, so that they may indicate Justin’s reworking of the OT/source material; the influence of contemporary Jewish traditions can be traced even in the upper layer of Justin’s source material
How universities shape global science through the world and decades
No full textThe book "Global Mega-Science: Universities, Research Collaborations, and Knowledge Production," written by Profs. Justin JW Powell from the University of Luxembourg and David P. Baker from Pennsylvania State University, explores how cutting-edge scientific research, driven by research universities and global collaborations, profoundly shapes our world. Its relevance is clear: scientific advancements not only yield breakthroughs in medicine, technology, and environmental sustainability but also influence policies that improve public health, education, and social well-being. The book showcases how universities have historically propelled scientific progress, supported by the continuous rise of education. As we face unprecedented global challenges, understanding the evolution of science, and its relationship to education, equips us to harness its transformative potential for a better future. This interview with the authors David P. Baker and Justin J.W. Powell reviews key findings from Global Mega-Science (Stanford University Press, 2024).SPHERE4. Quality education9.

The Underappreciated University in History of Contemporary Science
No full texteditorial reviewedIt is fully evident that universities play a crucial role in training scientists and providing a place for research endeavors. Since at least 1900, the consistent establishment of research-oriented universities, fueled by the increasing influx of students, has been pivotal in shaping the trajectory of scientific progress. Without this steady support, the recent history of science would have taken a different course, likely resulting in a significantly diminished scientific enterprise (Baker & Powell 2024). Globally, there exist tens of thousands of universities, from where faculty scientists consistently make substantial contributions to scientific advancements, benefited by increasingly complex collaboratives across universities and borders. Approximately 90% of the now over fout million annual scientific journal articles in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (hereafter, papers) include at least one university-based scientist and a significant majority of these papers are authored solely by university scientists. The world’s mainstream scientific journals, a reflection of the reach of science to more topics, grew from just under one hundred at the beginning of the 20th century to over eight thousand by the new century. As the volume of papers and subtopics of discovery continues to increase, so does the capacity of universities to train and hire aspiring scientists. Initially witnessed within a limited number of nations in the early 20th century, over time the magnitude and worldwide impact of these scientific dimensions have significantly expanded and disseminated, earning the fitting designation of “global mega-science.” And behind the dispersion of mega-science is a more-or-less isomorphic cultural model for combining the educational and research missions within the single university, an arrangement that is at once well-known and glossed over in the history of

Justin Václav Prášek - the regional historian and orientalist
No full textThe diploma thesis deals with the life stories of Justin Václav Prášek, his public activities as a teacher, his contribution in the field of Oriental and regional history. We can not also forget his impact on the next generation of Czech Orientalists and his great piece of work, which led in the publication of new findings to wider public. The work is divided into three main chapters, which contain a number of sections. The first chapter is about Justin Václav Prášek´s life, his student life, his work in secondary schools as a teacher or about the unsuccessful attempts to habilitation. The second chapter discusses the work of J. V. Prášek. This chapter is divided into six sections, in which the author tries to clarify the contribution of the work of J. V. Prášek, briefly describes and evaluates it. The author acquaints the readers with Prášek´s interest in the history of Near East, trying to bring his importace in the history of Czech regional history and deals with the travel diaries. Another chapter is devoted to public activities of J. V. Prášek, his benefits for the cities Brandýs nad Labem and Klánovice. There are also mentioned assotiations that are connected with his name
