Abstract: The present article is an effort to draw research, spiritual and prayerful attention to the spiritual mystagogy in the preaching, missionary and theological work of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Saint Nicholai Velimirovich of Ohrid and Žiča. As a preacher, missionary and theologian, God-bearing Bishop Nicholai in his mystagogy reveals to us that the Gospel of Christ means the possibility of healing and building the human soul for the Eternity of the Kingdom of the Most Holy Trinity.

Legislation is very serious and precise, especially where a human soul is involved. According to Article 384 of the Islamic Penal Code; if one person intentionally kills two or more people and the blood avengers of all the slain want Qiṣāṣ, the murderer will be retaliated without paying Diya. If the blood avengers of some of the victims want Qiṣāṣ and the blood avengers of the victim or other victims want blood money, if the murderer agrees to pay them blood money in exchange for their Qiṣāṣ, their blood money will be paid from the murderer's property and without the murderer's consent, they do not have the right to take blood money from him or his property. The point to consider in this legal article is that the payment of Diya from the property of the criminal to the victim is bound to the consent of the criminal. The basis of this opinion of the legislator is the opinion of some jurists. The present article in a descriptive-analytical research, with a problem-oriented view, follows the legal study of criminal’s satisfaction in this legal article and the analysis and critique of its jurisprudential principles. One of the most important findings of the study is that the discussion of criminal’s satisfaction in Article 384 of the Islamic Penal Code needs to be reviewed and revised by the legislator because it is incompatible with the rule of justice, the rule of “The blood of Muslim is not wasted”, the rule of obligation to save lives and other jurisprudential rules.

Abstract Kenelm Digby’s Two Treatises, of the Nature of Bodies and of the Nature of Mans Soule (1644) defends quite an idiosyncratic approach to mind-body dualism. In his use of the divisibility argument to prove that the human soul cannot be a material substance, Digby takes an uncompromising stand for merely potential material parts. In his Treatise of Bodies the present article focuses on the mode of construction of the definition of quantity as divisibility and on its links to two distinct fundamental arguments against the actual material parts doctrine. The first, positive, argument consists of a semantic reason drawn from Digby’s general doctrine of meaning, whereas the second, negative, argument, addresses the traditional question of the composition of the continuum. The latter, the author contends, does not build on the medieval controversy itself, but on Digby’s opposition to Galileo’s claim of indivisibilism in his Dialogues Concerning Two Sciences (1638).

O presente artigo visa abordar a festa ao Divino Pai Eterno a partir de representação simbólica em prol a Deus-Pai e ritualísticas que se entrelaçaram entre os preceitos católicos e os hábitos cotidianos daqueles que vivenciaram e vivenciam esse momento de encontro. Em Panamá, desde o início, a crença religiosa na divindade adquiriu características específicas da Região Sul de Goiás, sobretudo a imagem do padroeiro, já que corresponde segundo os dogmas cristãos a Santíssima Trindade. Vale considerar que essa devoção popular aos poucos foi sendo evangelizada, principalmente durante a festa, na medida em que os sermões inseridos nas liturgias eram e são voltados para as doutrinas católicas, a saber: missas, batismos, novenas, confissões, procissões, dentre outras. Para tanto, essa pesquisa está assente nas perspectivas de autores da história cultural, da sociologia e da antropologia a fim de compreender os resquícios do patriarcalismo inserido no contexto da manifestação religiosa panamaense. Party to the Divine Father Eternal: representations of patriarchalism in Panama (GO) The present article aims to approach the feast to the Divine Father Eternal from symbolic representation in favor of God-Father and rituals that were intertwined between the Catholic precepts and the daily habits of those who lived and experienced this moment of encounter. In Panama, from the beginning, religious belief in the deity acquired specific characteristics of the Southern Region of Goiás, above all the image of the patron saint, since according to Christian dogmas the Holy Trinity corresponds. It is worth to consider that this popular devotion was gradually being evangelized, especially during the feast, inasmuch as the sermons inserted in the liturgies were and are directed to Catholic doctrines, namely: masses, baptisms, novenas, confessions, processions, among others. To do so, this research is based on the perspectives of authors of cultural history, sociology and anthropology in order to understand the remnants of patriarchalism inserted in the context of the manifestation religious Panamanian.

‘It would be quite wrong to take the individual human being as in any way providing a satisfactory analogue’ (sc. of God the Holy Trinity) — J. Macquarrie. To anyone in the Augustinian tradition this is a hard saying. The search for the analogy of God in the human soul (what it is proposed to call ‘the psychological analogy’) dominated the theology of Augustine of Hippo. Though he failed to find a developed analogy which fully satisfied either himself or his successors, he never abandoned the quest, attributing his comparative failure to the limitations of the human mind.

Abstract: Recently, Duriez, Fontaine and Hutsebaut (2000) and Fontaine, Duriez, Luyten and Hutsebaut (2003) constructed the Post-Critical Belief Scale in order to measure the two religiosity dimensions along which Wulff (1991 , 1997 ) summarized the various possible approaches to religion: Exclusion vs. Inclusion of Transcendence and Literal vs. Symbolic. In the present article, the German version of this scale is presented. Results obtained in a heterogeneous German sample (N = 216) suggest that the internal structure of the German version fits the internal structure of the original Dutch version. Moreover, the observed relation between the Literal vs. Symbolic dimension and racism, which was in line with previous studies ( Duriez, in press ), supports the external validity of the German version.

Le présent article tente d’effectuer un rapprochement entre un article européen de Rossel et Merceron et un livre américain de Reid Meloy, tous deux consacrés à l’analyse des organisations psychopathiques. Si tous les auteurs s’entendent sur l’économie narcissique du psychopathe, le choix de la population d’étude diffère quelque peu, en raison de l’approche structurale des premiers et de l’approche symptomatique du second. Tandis que l’étude suisse ne retient que des psychopathes du registre des états-limites, l’étude américaine inclut également des psychopathes de niveau psychotique. Par contre, la mésentente règne au niveau des outils d’analyse du discours psychopathique: analyse statistique et échelles validées chez Meloy; approche qualitative chez Rossel et Merceron. Aux premiers, l’on reprochera un certain réductionisme et appauvrissement du discours, prix à payer pour le respect de la standardisation et de la cotation. Aux seconds, l’on reprochera l’absence de toute quantification qui pose problème lorsque l’on aborde la question de la validité des données. Néanmoins, Européens et Américains s’entendent sur la notion d’un fonctionnement psychopathique. La relation d’objet est marquée par la pulsion agressive et ses dérivatifs, par la recherche de pouvoir et de contrôle. La lutte contre la dépendance est déduite chez Meloy de l’absence de réponse de texture et chez Rossel et Merceron de l’absence de contenus de dépendance. La qualité narcissique des représentations d’objet est mise en évidence, chez Meloy, par le biais de l’investissement du paraître, chez Rossel et Merceron par l’importance du processus d’externalisation. La dévalorisation des objets est aussi décrite. Ni les uns ni les autres ne font réellement référence à l’angoisse car cette angoisse qualifiable d’anaclitique s’exprime justement sous des manifestations tout à fait opposées. Le vide intérieur est déduit, chez Meloy, à partir de l’ennui que vit le psychopathe et, chez Rossel et Merceron, à partir de la survalorisation de la référence au réel. Une grande convergence existe entre les deux écrits au sujet des mécanismes de défense. Tous les auteurs s’accordent sur la prépondérance du clivage et du déni, un déni par le mot et l’acte chez Meloy, un déni hypomaniaque chez Rossel et Merceron. De part et d’autre de l’Atlantique, on s’accorde également pour attribuer une place importante à l’identification projective et à l’identification à l’agresseur. Par ailleurs, Rossel et Merceron démontrent comment à travers les caractéristiques de l’énonciation et les nuances de la verbalisation du psychopathe, il est possible d’inférer son non-investissement de la mentalisation et du savoir au profit d’un surinvestissement de l’agir. La complémentarité, voire la similarité, des commentaires dans les deux ouvrages devrait réconforter certains cliniciens, désarmés devant le fossé qui semble parfois régner entre la littérature des deux continents et confirmer, qu’indépendamment du type de méthodologie et de validation choisi, l’observation clinique du psychologue expérimenté demeure la pierre angulaire de toute recherche en psychopathologie.

Ivan Ogienko (1882-1972), also known as Metropolitan Hilarion, devoted much attention to the role and place of religion in the national life of Ukrainians and their ethnic identity in their scholarly and theological works. Without exaggeration it can be argued that the problem of national unity of the Ukrainian people is one of the key principles of all historiosophical considerations of the famous scholar and theologian. If the purpose of the spiritual life of a Ukrainian, according to his views, is to serve God, then the purpose of state or terrestrial life is the dedicated service to his people. The purpose of heaven and the purpose of the earthly paths, intersecting in the life of a certain group of people through the lives of its individual representatives, give rise to a unique alliance of spiritual unity, the name of which is "people" or "nation." Religion (faith) in the process of transforming the anarchist crowd into a spiritually integrated and orderly national integrity serves as the transformer of the imperfect nature of the human soul into perfect.
