AbstractAlfonso de Castro (1495–1558) is known as a staunch opponent of vernacular Bible translation, who intervened on the matter at the Council of Trent. This article offers a fresh appreciation of Castro’s polemics against vernacular bibles, in light of a less well-known treatise in which Castro defends the right of the indigenous Spanish colonial population to be educated in the liberal arts and theology. It is argued that at the root of Castro’s misgivings about Bible translation is a concern for preserving traditional education as a necessary prerequisite for biblical interpretation.

Abstract John Chrysostom, circa 349–407 ce, wrote “On Vainglory, or The Right Way to Raise Children,” which purports to be about raising all Christian children. In fact, out of ninety chapters, only one deals with girls. Even more significant are the numerous overlooked children in the text, who are present but whose Christian education is never discussed because they are enslaved. This paper utilizes childist criticism to draw these enslaved children from hiddenness into plain sight. The paper is situated in the context of Jesus’ teaching about children because Chrysostom believes that the best way to raise children is by teaching them stories from the Bible, Hebrew Bible first, then New Testament, but instead of an openness to all children he discusses only freeborn, elite boys. Chrysostom’s treatise exposes the context of how few children in late antiquity could be shaped by biblical interpretation intended for all children. (147 words)

The aim of this article is to examine Bible reading in the African context and the willingness and enthusiasm to embrace prosperity gospel in Africa. To achieve this objective, a discussion on the developments in biblical interpretation in Africa will first be presented. This will be done by examining three historical periods: colonial, independence and democratisation periods. This will be followed by an outline of migrations that have taken place from traditional religions to different versions of Christianity in different times in Africa. These migrations will be examined in connection with Bible translation. The relationship between prosperity gospel and African people in Africa will be discussed by considering the tools prosperity gospel uses to appeal to African people, namely the religio-cultural and socio-economic factors. The article will then provide its assessment of contextual reading in the prosperity gospel and a conclusion will follow.

Világszerte kihívást jelent a felsőoktatási intézményeknek, hogy képzéseivel előkészítse a hallgatók munkaerőpiaci elhelyezkedését. A felsőoktatási politikai reformok keresik a megfelelő megoldást erre, s az egyik ilyen megoldásnak tekintjük a duális képzést. A duális képzés célja az egyetemek és a munkaadók közötti kooperáció támogatása, amelynek többek között a német szakképzésben vannak hagyományai (Baethge & Wolter, 2015; Göhringer, 2002). Tanulmányunkban kvantitatív és kvalitatív adatokra támaszkodva vizsgáljuk a Magyarországon 2015-ben indult duális képzés és a hagyományos típusú képzésben résztvevő hallgatók tapasztalatit, valamint a munka és a tanulás integrációját, és az eredményességi percepciókat. Arra a kérdésre kerestük a választ, hogy melyik hallgató csoportnak jobb a tanulmányi eredménye, s milyen fejlődést érzékelnek a munkavégzéssel kapcsolatos képességeikben. Eredményeink azt mutatták, hogy a duális hallgatóknak jobbak a tanulmányi eredményeik, mint a hagyományos képzésben lévőké. A kutatás interjús részében fény derült arra, hogy a hallgatók jelentős képességfejlődést érzékelnek, azonban eredményeink további kvantitatív eljárások lebonyolítására hívja fel a figyelmet.Universities worldwide are challenged to prepare their students for expectation of the labor market. Higher education policy reforms are looking for the right solution, our opinion is that a dual education can be one of the best solution. The purpose of dual education is to confirm relationship between higher education institutions and employers, which has traditions in German vocational training (Baethge & Wolter, 2015; Göhringer, 2002). In our research based on quantitative and qualitative data, we examine the experiences of students in dual education and traditional education, the balance between work and study, and the academic performance of students.  During the research, we tried to find the answer to the questions of which student group had better academic achievement and how they thought improvement in their abilities. The results have shown that dual students have better academic performance than those in traditional education. Based on the qualitative part of the research, the students perceive significant development of skills.  Our results encourage us to call for further quantitative procedures.

Biblical Translation

This chapter provides a complex narrative of biblical translation in Protestant scholarship. It draws attention to Protestant efforts to produce a universal Latin translation as an intermediary between the original languages of Scripture and the vernacular. Despite the tendency to associate Protestantism with personal reading of Scripture, the multiple levels involved in biblical interpretation complicate any straightforward relationship between reformation, text, and individual reader. The Latin Bible translation also held the potential of unifying Protestants by becoming the basis of all vernacular translations. The attempt to harmonise Protestant theology through a single Latin translation, however, ultimately exposed deep divisions in Protestant biblical scholarship. The chapter also notes that Archbishop Cranmer not only extended hospitality to continental scholars fleeing from the restoration of Catholic worship under the Augsburg Interim, but solicited their work on the Latin Bible translation and laboured to bridge divisions between them.

The intent of action is the achievement of something decisive. Within any business, decisiveness is hopefully linked to the successful generation of revenue due to the right product being introduced to the right market at the right time. The challenge is to ensure that once a product is released to the market, that the most revenue possible can be earned. In the case of higher education, one potential product is distance education offerings that provide learning opportunities to students who cannot participate in traditional education. The development of distance educational materials for online use, however, can be costly, and subsequent revenue streams may generates little or no revenue, which occurs with many distance education programs. This can be resolved, however, by the strategic re-purposing of online course materials that may have been developed for distance education.

The next generation of Lutheran, Swiss Reformed, and Calvinist leaders emphasized the prophet as an interpreter of Scripture and true worship as that which adheres to God’s Word alone. They further employed the prophet and biblical prophecy to illuminate key pastoral duties, strengthen Protestant clerical authority, and frame clerical authority firmly within the authority of Scripture. The text of I Corinthians 14:3 continued to demarcate the primary tasks of the Protestant pastor—tasks they increasingly identified within the teaching office. The next generation, however, added an emphasis on the right disposition of the godly pastor, even as they more squarely placed authority in his hands. They looked to biblical models of prophecy to provide a process for discerning right doctrine and biblical interpretation that both affirmed the priesthood of all believers and located public authority in the hands of established Protestant pastors. Explicit prophetic terminology nonetheless notably eclipsed.
