The proposed article examines the syntactic-semantic types and the lexico-semantic models of multi-component complex words from the category of substantives and verbs in Old Bulgarian and Church Slavonic. The study is done on lexical material, excerpted from the main lexicography works in Old Bulgarian and Church Slavonic languages. The analysis proceeds from the theoretical statement that the structural significance of word order (as well as of any language unit that is semantically and formally dissected) is not a simple sum of lexical meanings of its constituent units, but interactions between them on the basis of certain predicate relations. Based on the specific analysis, the conclusion is drawn that the variety of syntactic-semantic types and the lexico-semantic models of multicomponent complex words reveals the rich word-forming capabilities of the Old Bulgarian language, respectively the Church-Slavic language, and their ability to adequately translate foreign language specimens by their own means of speech.

Christianity in Central Asia has had to negotiate between militant atheism and Islam. The challenge in the region remains the proclamation of the gospel amidst diverse ideologies. However, the witness of the Church is challenged by internal disunity. Communities that have been Islamic for centuries are now going back to their roots. Conversion from Islam is perceived as a matter of being an instrument of social fragmentation. Still, the Chinese ‘One Belt, One Road’ project has spawned the need for skilled workers, providing opportunities for Christians to be present in these countries. An important issue for the future of Christianity in the region will be the need to invest in a contextual theology that is able to evangelise without causing offence to the Islamic community. To live out the Christian faith in a convincing way in such a context will involve Christians drawing from their own Scriptures the rich description of the kingdom of God that can shape the entire life of a community. South Asian countries have all seen an improvement in gender parity over the last decades. As Christians live among social strata, they can show the relevance of their message to the contemporary context.

Chapter 1 explores the meaning of deification in the Eastern Orthodox tradition as a metaphor for salvation, comparing this with the metaphor of redemption with which the ‘Western’ denominations are more familiar. Departing from the notion of the structural significance of deification for Orthodox theology, it sets out its importance for Greek patristic anthropology, Christology, and eschatology. Following Norman Russell (2004), it distinguishes between a ‘realistic’ approach to deification through participation, notably in the sacramental life of the church, and an ‘ethical’ approach, through imitation of Christ’s virtues. The two approaches are combined in contemplative monasticism, where mystical union comes to be understood as participation in the grace or energies of God. In conclusion, the chapter identifies aspects of Greek patristic deification that prove most important to Russian religious philosophers in the inter-revolutionary period.

The article is devoted to the multidisciplinary examination of grammatical terminology in the “Grammar” by M. Smotrytsky, the 400th anniversary of the publication of which this year celebrates the scientifi c community of the Slavic world. The emphasis was placed on determining the role played by “Grammar” in the codifi cation of the grammatical system of the Church Slavic language, which functioned in the ancient period in the Eastern Slavic lands and had a great infl uence on the formation of grammatical thought in Ukraine, contributed to the enrichment of grammatical theory through the introduction to scientifi c treatment of new linguistic concepts and the formation of Slavic linguistic theory. Using the theoretical achievements of the Greek-Latin grammar, translated by Ukrainian linguists into the Slavic linguistic soil during the long period of development of the Ukrainian language, M. Smotrytsky set out to broaden the conceptual and terminological basis and thus sought to enrich the theory of grammar. Due to the fact that in one article it is impossible to cover all the grammatical terms represented in the “Grammar”, only those that were fi rst recorded in it or which M. Smotrytsky transposed from the grammar of his predecessors, having improved them, are involved in the analysis. In particular, this article analyzes the concepts and terms of two parts of the grammar, designated by the Greek terms “Orthography” and “Etymology”. In the part of the grammar “Etymology” (“morphology”) traced the discovery of concepts and terms for their designation of only the parts that are discarded in the chapters “Name” and “Verb”.

Many of the sixteenth century Protestant reformers denied the rôle and authority of the Roman Church as a mediating instrument between Christ and believers. There was specific theological objection to the legitimacy of a sacrament of holy orders with a divinely empowered hierarchy. In consequence, much of the Catholic reaction and reform was designed to re-establish and emphasise both dogmatically and practically true authority within the Church. Seminaries therefore, as planned by the Tridentine decree of 15 July 1563, belonged to an ecclesiological context. They were seedbeds, giving protection from hostile and indifferent society, where men were set apart to sink roots in the rich soil of clerical life, and only then to emeige to feed the Church.

Mark Ashurst-McGee, Robin Scott Jensen, and Sharalyn D. Howcroft introduce Foundational Texts of Mormonism: Examining Major Early Sources by noting the rich documentary record of the early history of Mormonism and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Among these the documents from the founding era under Joseph Smith are several major sources to which historians continually turn for information. However, as the authors explain, this is often with little appreciation for the complexity of the circumstances under which these documents were produced. The volume provides several examples of how understanding the complexity of documentary production helps historians to use these sources more critically. The authors individually introduce the chapters of the book.

Mr. Golénischeff has just published in the Transactions of the Russian Imperial Society of Oriental Archæology (vol. xiii) a new Vannic inscription of considerable interest and importance. As my memoir on the Vannic Inscriptions is not likely to be continued after the publication of the rich materials collected by Drs. Belck and Lehmann during their exploration of Armenia and Kurdistan, I will deal with this inscription separately, and provisionally number it LXXXVI in continuation of my former notation. The stone on which the inscription is engraved was found in the church of St. Gregory, four versts east of the monastery of Eshmiadzin, and is 2·70 metres high, 63 cent, broad, and 36 cent, thick. It will be seen that it is a record of Ruśas, the son of Argistis, whose existence, first asserted by Dr. Belck, but doubted by myself (J.R.A.S., Oct., 1894, pp. 705, 706), is thus certified.

O artigo reflete sobre a íntima relação que vigora entre a Igreja e a Eucaristia: a Eucaristia une o povo fiel, faz o povo de Deus participar na vitória de Cristo, bem como o introduz na dimensão do Reino de Deus. Explora também o rico simbolismo do pão e do vinho, de origem bíblica, e aprofunda o sentido destas duas dimensões do mistério pascal celebrado na Eucaristia: refeição/convívio e sacrifício/entrega. Recorda a necessidade de um justo equilíbrio entre as dimensões de festa e sacrifício do mistério eucarístico. Mostra, por fim, que a participação na Eucaristia torna os fiéis missionários da Boa-Nova do Reino de fraternidade e paz, anunciadores de um mundo novo e liberto, criado pela “fração do pão”, e da vitória do “Ressuscitado”, penhor de nossa ressurreição, a festa que não tem fim.Abstract: The article deals with the close relation that prevails between the Church and the Eucharist: the Eucharist brings together the faithful, encourages God’s people to participate in Christ’s victory and introduces them into the dimension of God’s Kingdom. It also explores the rich symbolism of the bread and wine, originated in the Bible, and strengthens the meaning of these two dimensions of the paschal mystery celebrated in the Eucharist: meals/convivial spirit and sacrifice/surrender. It reminds us of the need for a fair balance between the dimensions of festivity and sacrifice in the Eucharistic mystery. Finally its shows that participation in the Eucharist turns the faithful into missionaries of the Good Tidings of the Kingdom i. e. the fraternity and peace that herald a new, free world, created by the “fraction of the bread” and the victory of “the one who resurrected”, the pledge of our resurrection, the endless feast.

Morphologically complex words are processed through their constituent morphemes during visual word recognition. While this has been primarily established through the stem priming paradigm, the role of shared affixes is more controversial. Also, most evidence on affix priming comes from derivation, while inflectional priming remains largely unaddressed. Here we present two lexical decision, masked priming experiments filling this gap. Taking advantage of the rich inflectional pattern of Slovene, we assessed inflectional suffix priming (mestam–HALJAM), and compared it to the well-established stem priming effect (haljov–HALJAM): while the latter is solid as expected, the former seems to be weak to non–existing. Results further indicate that there is no interaction between sharing a stem and sharing an inflectional suffix—neither stem nor suffix priming is boosted when primes and targets also share the other morpheme. These data indicate an important difference between stems, derivational affixes and inflectional affixes, which we consider in the context of models of visual word identification and information theory.

The genesis of the old Finnish language (1560-1640) is unique due to two historical reasons: first, the literature of this period was religious; secondly, religious and literary languages represented a single entity. The material of the study was the texts of the period of Catholicism and early Lutheranism (1560-1640). The author employed the analysis of semantic models, rhetorical devices, language structures (helped to identify the peculiarities of the formation of the old Finnish language and the reasons for the growth of its influence on the audience), content analysis of texts (allowed to trace the stages of transition in the church service from Latin and German to Finnish) were used. Comparison of folk texts with the translated ones revealed their common features (repetitions at the level of phrase and alliteration). The development of Old Finnish language was decelerated by the excessive use of the Latin language. However, by the middle of the 16th century, the external and internal political situations in Finland were in favour of using the Finnish language as an instrument of religious authority and a means of cultural influence on society. The written literature of Finland in the studied period was of a translatable state. The translated literature was pivotal in the formation and development of verbal art. Educated people (Justen, Finno, Hemminki from Mask, Sorolainen and L. Petri) made a vast contribution to the written language. Due to them, it was enriched with various forms of dialects and a greater lexicon.

Historically, religious sponsors have played a significant role in promoting holistic growth of students through emphasizing Christian based values in learning institutions. This have been showed by ever increasing seasonal social, moral, and ethical challenges facing students which include early pregnancies among female students, drugs and substance abuse, religious radicalization, burying, arson, among others. However, there has been a great concern from the public discourse on the laxity of the church as religious sponsors in schools from the frequent moral decay displayed by the students today. This article assesses the role of religious sponsors in development of holistic secondary school students in Nyeri County, Kenya. This study adopts a descriptive approach through collecting primary data from 68 CU/CA patrons, 99 students and 68 school administration. This article confirmed that various religious sponsors promote students' moral, social and spiritual development to students through organizing frequent prayer sessions, Biblical expositions, as well as offering Christian based guidance and counseling. However, this have not been to the maximum as could be expected in religious contexts. This study recommends for revitalized pastoral reforms from both the schools and the church. This will ensure that secondary schools fully utilize the rich valuable chaplaincy ministry based on pastoral care and counseling services as facilitated by the respective religious sponsors.
