    U članku je riječ o povijesno-teološkoj analizi glavnih tekstova o liku i ulozi Mojsija u židovskoj Bibliji. Autor u svojoj analizi nastoji istodobno utvrditi povijesne činjenice koje su vezane za ovu važnu osobu Staroga zavjeta i iznijeti na vidjelo teološke motive koji su imali dubokog odražaja na oblikovanje slike u Mojsiju i na njegovu ulogu u povijesti židovskoga naroda. U tim tekstovima Mojsije izranja kao glavni posrednik i svjedok sadržaja vjere i normi ponašanja za biblijske vjernike. Autor drži da je ta slika o Mojsiju i njegovoj ulozi konačno oblikovana nakon povratka iz Babilonskoga sužanjstva (5. stoljeće prije Krista, za vrijeme Ezre i Nehemije), i otada je postala sastavni dio židovske Biblije.The article deals with a historical-theological analysis of the main texts about the character and role of Moses in the Jewish Bible. In the analysis the author is trying to identify the historical facts related to this important Old Testament person and to bring to light the theological motives which deeply influenced the formation of the image of Moses and his role in the history of Jewish people. In these texts Moses emerges as the main mediator and witness of the content of faith and norms of behaviour for the biblical believers. The author holds that the picture of Moses and his role was finally formed after the Babylonian captivity (5th century BC, at the time of Ezra and Nehemiah), and since then it has become an integral part of the Jewish Bible

    Mythical and historical in the book of Genesis and in Deuteronomic historiography

    Ovaj članak želi istražiti odnos između mitskoga i povijesnoga u knjizi Postanka i u deuteronomističkoj historiografiji. Stoga se u uvodnom dijelu najprije govori o tome što je to «mitsko», a što je to «povijesno». Zatim, u prvom dijelu članka, želi ukazati na zamršene odnose istih u okviru Staroga zavjeta. U drugom, pak, dijelu nastoji se razjasniti mnogostruke povezanosti između «mitske povijesti» stvaranja u Post 2-3 i deuteronomističke povijesti, nakon čega postaje jasnije da se radi o jednoj te istoj povijesti, koja ima sličnosti i drugdje u Starom zavjetu. Zaključak koji se nameće jest taj da uništenje nema posljednju riječ već da Bog ljubi život iznad svega, i uvijek ostaje spreman na suradnju. Ova biblijska istina od neprocjenjive je važnosti za vjernički život.The very title of this book indicates its content and the author's intention. First, the author wants to explain what is „mitical“ and what is „historical“. In the first part, he wants to point to the intricate relations of those in the framework of the Old Testament. In the second part of the work he tries to spotlight the manifold correlations between the „mythical history“ of creation in Gn 2-3 and deuteronomic history, making it clear that we are talking about the same history, similar also in some other place sin the Old Testament. In the end the author wants to point out the fundamental idea that destruction does not have the final word but God who loves life above all and always remains ready for cooperation

    Scope and content of term Toledot in the book of Genesis

    Full text link
    U ovom članku autor polazi od općeprihvaćenog mišljenja kako hebrejski pojam “toledot” služi kao bitni element koji strukturira Knjigu Postanka i dijeli je na deset cjelina. Nakon razjašnjena značenja pojma “toledot” autor predstavlja opseg i kratak sadržaj svakog pojedinog dijela Knjige koji je tim pojmom obuhvaćen. Potom evidentira kojim se dijelovima Knjige kvantitativno posvećuje najviše teksta, što implicira i biblijsko-teološku važnost likova o kojima se u njima govori. Konačni rezultat pokazuje da se najviše pažnje posvećuje četvorici biblijskih likova, i to ovim redom: Jakovu, Abrahamu, Adamu i Noi. Ova posljednja dvojica pripadaju biblijskoj prapovijesti i od njih je poteklo čitavo čovječanstvo, a druga dvojica, Jakov i Abraham stoje na početcima povijesti Izraela kao Božjeg izabranog naroda o kojem govori sav ostali dio Biblije Staroga zavjeta.In this article the author starts from a generally accepted view that the Hebrew term toledot is an essential element that structures the book of Genesis and divides it into ten units. After clarifying the meaning of the term toledot, the author presents the scope and summary of a particular part of the book covered by the term. Then he records which parts of the book contain the greatest quantity of text, which also implies the biblical-theological importance of the characters dealt with there. The final result shows that most attention is paid to four biblical characters in the following order: Jacob, Abraham, Adam and Noah. The last two belong to biblical prehistory and the whole mankind originated from them, and the other two, Jacob and Abraham, stand at the beginnings of the history of Israel as God’s chosen people that all the remaining part of the Old Testament speaks about

    Moses - debatable points of bibliqual text

    Full text link
    U prvi mah bi se moglo reći da su biblijski tekstovi o Mojsiju jednostavni i da čine jednu skladnu cjelinu. No, taj isti tekst predstavlja ozbiljnom čitatelju vjerniku poteškoće različite vrste kao npr. književne, povijesne i religiozne naravi. U ovom radu ne tražimo ni Mojsija Jahvističke predaje, niti bilo koje druge predaje, već želimo otkriti Mojsija mnogostrukih predaja i tema, kakvog nam ga prikazuje biblijski tekst. Tekstovi o Mojsiju ne donose jednostavno samo stara povijesna sjećanja. Oni odražavaju i ono što je Izrael očekivao od svoga vođe i utemeljitelja. U jednoj takvoj raznolikosti predstavljanja Mojsijeva lika može se postaviti pitanje: «Tko je i kakav je pravi Mojsije?» Treba podsjetiti da četiri dokumenta u našem tekstu daju svoje teološko viđenje njegove osobe, i da postoji razlika između povijesnog Mojsija i Mojsija vjere. Povijesnog Mojsija je teško doseći i objasniti. U pretjeranom nastojanju da pod svaku cijenu dosegnemo povijesnu razinu, možemo zaboraviti da je vjerniku čitatelju na dohvat Mojsije vjere.At first sight one could say that biblical texts on Moses are simple and that they make a harmonious unity. But, to a careful reader, the same texts can present difficulties of various kinds, literary, historical and religious. In this work we are not searching for either Moses of Yahweh tradition or of any other tradition, but we want to reveal the Moses of manifold traditions and themes, such as presented in biblical texts. Not only do the texts about Moses bring the old historical memories, but also they reflect what Israel expected of their leader and founder. In such a manifoldness of Moses’ figure one can ask: “Who is the real Moses and what is he like?” In our texts four documents give a theological view of his person. They show that there is difference between the historical Moses and Moses of faith. It is difficult to reach and explain that historical Moses. Trying to reach the historical level at any cost, we may fail to see that, to the reader believer, the Moses of faith is within his reach. We should never forget that the Bible, first of all, speaks about that and such Moses

    Love for God as the first commandment in the Bible

    Ovaj rad želi pružiti jedan povijesni presjek misli i ideja o ljubavi. Pritom se ne donosi iscrpan kronološki red misli o ljubavi, nego se fokusira na relevantne etape i ocrtava se geneza modernog shvaćanja ljubavi kao slobodnog čina i biblijskog shva-ćanja ljubavi kao zapovijedi. Na taj se način želi pokazati da se dva shvaćanja ne sukobljavaju, nego nadopunjuju te da biblijsko shvaćanje ljubavi kao zapovijedi nije antropološki ili teološki problem. Stoga se u radu donose neki ključni starozavjetni tekstovi koji su ili oblikovali shvaćanje ljubavi ili su plod shvaćanja ljubavi nekog povijesnog razdoblja, te se tako osvjetljava pozadina biblijske zapovijedi ljubavi prema Bogu.The word love abounds with various meanings, recalls various experiences including thousands of shades and thousands of variations, depending on the culture and time. The reader of the Bible, the Old and New Testament, encounters the word love in different life situations, especially in the first commandment – according to the expression coined in the New Testament (Mt 22, 36; Mk 12, 28). To modern man, connection of the word “love” with the word “commandment” poses a certain difficulty, since love is connected with freedom and not with an obligation. This alone remark reveals the distance that separates our sensitivity from the biblical world. Is it really possible to command that one should love God? Can love that is commanded be real and honest love? To get closer to the right answer, we will first try to see the difference in our perception of love, starting from the time of romanticism and the time of ancient world. Then, we will try to show the background of biblical commandment of love

    To be brothers: task and challenge. Variations on the theme of rotherhood in the book of Genesis

    Biblijsko razmišljanje na temu bratskih odnosa počinje u Sta- rom zavjetu na pragmatičan način pripoviješću o tragičnom slu- čaju Kajina i Abela (Post 4). Kasnije se na različite načine, u više navrata, ponavlja u zgodama i nezgodama patrijarha. Najtipični- ji su slučajevi oni koji se odnose na Abrahamove sinove: Jišma- ela i Izaka (Post 21), na Izakove sinove blizance: Ezava i Jakova (Post 25; 27; 32-33), na Jakovljeve sinove Josipa i njegovu bra- ću (Post 37-50). No kakav se pojam bratskih odnosa promovira u ovim pripovijestima? Mogu li se odgonetnuti tipični motivi za te i takve pripovijesti? Koja je uloga njihova ponavljanja i eventual- nih promjena?Biblical reflections on the theme of fraternal relations begin in a pragmatic way in the Old Testament with a story of the tragic case of Cain and Abel (Gen 4). Later on it is repeated in different ways, on many occasions, in the fortunes and misfortunes of the Patriarchs. The most typical are the ones related to Abraham’s sons: Ishmael and Isaac (Gen 21), to Isaac’s twin sons: Esau and Jacob (Gen 25; 27; 32-33), to sons of Jacob: Joseph and his brothers (Gen 37-50). But what concept of fraternal relations is promoted in these stories? Can you figure out the typical moti- ves for these and such stories? What is the role of their repetiti- ons and possible changes

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
