Isaac, Iphigeneia, and Ignatius
What is the meaning of the martyr’s sacrifice? Is it true that the martyr imitates Christ? After the “one and eternal” sacrifice of Jesus why are from time to time new (and often quite numerous) sacrifices necessary? What is the underlying concept concerning the divinity? How do these ideas survive in present times? These are the kind of questions behind the inquiries in this monograph. The author investigates martyrdom as a (voluntary) human sacrifice and wishes to demonstrate how human sacrifice has been turned into martyrdom. The two emblematic figures of this transformation are Iphigeneia and Isaac. Pesthy argues that all the peoples in the environment in which Christianity came in...
La théologie de la tentation dans le christianisme ancien
Le sujet de la tentation est etroitement lie au probleme fondamental et toujours actuel de l'existence du mal. Pourquoi y a-t-il du mal dans la nature humaine ? Pourquoi ne pouvons-nous pas eviter de faire ce qui est mauvais, meme si nous ne le voulons pas ? D'ou vient cette incitation au peche, de l'interieur ou de l'exterieur ? Si c'est de l'interieur, qui a mis en nous ce - mauvais penchant - ? Si c'est de l'exterieur, qui est l'instigateur, Dieu ou le diable ? Comment Dieu pourrait-il inciter au mal ? Comment le diable pourrait-il agir contre la volonte de Dieu ? Qu'en est-il de la responsabilite humaine ? Quel role notre libre arbitre joue-t-il ? Est-ce que les tentations ne sont que de...
Pagans and Christians in the Late Roman Empire
Do the terms ?pagan? and ?Christian,? ?transition from paganism to Christianity? still hold as explanatory devices to apply to the political, religious and cultural transformation experienced Empire-wise? Revisiting ?pagans? and ?Christians? in Late Antiquity has been a fertile site of scholarship in recent years: the paradigm shift in the interpretation of the relations between ?pagans? and ?Christians? replaced the old ?conflict model? with a subtler, complex approach and triggered the upsurge of new explanatory models such as multiculturalism, cohabitation, cooperation, identity, or group cohesion. This collection of essays, inscribes itself into the revisionist discussion of pagan-Christ...

Seventy Weeks Prophecy: How the Bible Foretold the Year Jesus(As) and Muhammad(Saw) Will Come on Earth
Volume One of this book will discuss about the true gospel of Jesus(as) which is about the imminent coming of the Son of Man and the establishment of the universal Kingdom of God on earth.

Based on the correct context and interpretation, the Son of Man mentioned by Jesus(as) refers to Prophet Muhammad(saw) and the Kingdom of God refers to Islam. Volume Two will discuss about the fulfillment of the 70 Weeks Prophecy of Prophet Daniel(as). That this prophecy i...

Die Theologie der Versuchung im frühen Christentum
Das Thema -Versuchung- knupft an das grundlegende und zeitlose Problem der Existenz des Bosen an. Weshalb ist das Bose in der menschlichen Natur vorhanden? Weshalb konnen wir nicht vermeiden, etwas Schlechtes zu tun, auch wenn wir es nicht wollen? Kommt der Antrieb zur Sunde von innen oder von aussen? Wer ist fur diesen Trieb in uns verantwortlich, falls er von innen kommt? Und wer ist der Anstifter, falls er von aussen kommt? Gott oder Teufel? Wie konnte Gott jemanden zu einer schlechten Tat anstiften? Oder wie konnte der Teufel gegen den Willen Gottes handeln? Und wie steht es um die Verantwortung des Menschen? Welche Rolle spielt unser freier Wille? Wozu dienen Versuchungen? Sind sie nur ...
