“Komparasi Eskatologi Injil Lukas dengan Injil Sinoptik Lainnya,” adalah subyek penelitian memberikan eksplanatori mengenai pemikiran-pemikiran teologis dari Lukas selaku penulis Injil Lukas dan Kisah Para Rasul, khususnya yang membahas tentang pemikiran-pemikiran atau pengajaran mengenai doktrin akhir zaman (eskatologi) yang dikomparasikan dengan Injil Matius dan Injil Markus, sebagai serangkaian kelompok dari Injil Sinoptik. Adanya kemiripan kata-kata, dan urutan bahkan isi/peristiwa yang hampir sama di antara ketiganya, serta kepentingan daripada doktrin akhir zaman, memberikan keunikan bagi masing-masing Injil, secara khusus bagi Injil Lukas itu sendiri. Disamping bermaksud untuk menyatakan keunikan dan perbedaan dari Injil Lukas dibandingkan dengan Injil Sinoptik lainnya, penelitian ini juga bermaksud memberikan informasi atau penjelasan mengenai hal-hal yang memiliki koherensi dan relevansi dengan doktrin akhir zaman yang dimaksud dalam subyek penelitian ini, di antaranya seperti perlunya menyentuh tulisan Lukas dalam Kisah Para Rasul, dan pembahasan mengenai Kerajaan Allah dan Kerajaan Sorga serta hal-hal lainnya. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengejawantahkan maksud di atas, maka penulis melaksanakan kajian terhadap beberapa ayat Alkitab dan pandangan para pakar dalam mengadakan pendekatan terhadap ayat-ayat eskatologi yang terdapat dalam ketiga Injil Sinoptik tersebut. Dengan pendekatan tersebut, maka hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan, di antaranya adalah bahwa Lukas menyusun Injilnya serupa dengan Markus, hanya saja terdapat penambahan pemahaman Lukas secara pribadi untuk menekankan nuansa yang berbeda dari tulisannya tersebut. Adapun mengenai istilah Kerajaan Allah dan Kerajaan Sorga, jika Markus dan Lukas konsisten menggunakan frase Kerajaan Allah, sebaliknya Matius menggantinya dengan istilah “Kerajaan Sorga,” meskipun memiliki pengertian yang sama, dengan maksud untuk memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mudah bagi para pembaca asli kitab-kitab tersebut. Di samping itu, ketiga penulis juga menuliskan kedatangan Yesus pada masa yang akan datang sebagai bagian penting dalam pemenuhan janji berkat Kerajaan Allah secara sempurna, sehingga tidak ada keraguan akan masa yang akan datang mengenai kedatangan Kristus kali kedua. "Comparative Luke's Gospel Eschatology with Other Synoptic Gospels," is the subject of an explanatory study of the theological thoughts of Luke as the writer of the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles, especially those which deal with thoughts or teachings about the end-time doctrine (eschatology) which are compared with the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, as a series of groups from the Synoptic Gospels. The similarity of words, and the order and even the contents / events that are almost the same between the three, as well as the interests of the end-time doctrine, provide uniqueness for each of the Gospels, specifically for the Gospel of Luke itself. Besides intending to express the uniqueness and difference of Luke's Gospel compared to other Synoptic Gospels, this study also intends to provide information or explanations about things that have coherence and relevance to the end-time doctrine referred to in this research subject, including the need to touch writing Luke in the Acts of the Apostles, and a discussion of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven and other things. Therefore, to embody the above purpose, the author carries out a study of several Bible verses and the views of experts in approaching eschatological verses contained in the three Synoptic Gospels. With this approach, the results of this study explain, among them is that Luke composes his Gospel similar to Mark, only there is an addition to Luke's personal understanding to emphasize the different nuances of his writing. As for the terms of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, if Mark and Luke consistently use the phrase Kingdom of God, instead Matthew replaces it with the term "Kingdom of Heaven," even though it has the same meaning, with the intention to provide an easier understanding for the original readers of the books that. In addition, the three authors also write about the coming of Jesus in the future as an important part of fulfilling the promise of God's perfect blessing, so that there is no doubt about the future about the second coming of Christ.

В статье представлен краткий вводный обзор до сих пор не изданного на русском языке крупного труда блж. Августина Гиппонского «Толкование на Евангелие от Иоанна» («In Ioannis Euangelium Tractatus CXXIV»), обстоятельств его написания и отражения в нём личности Августина как экзегета и проповедника. Автор напоминает читателю известное различие между так называемыми синоптическими Евангелиями и Евангелием от Иоанна и указывает на численное превосходство древнецерковных толкований на Евангелие от Матфея по сравнению с таковыми на Евангелие от Иоанна, а также, вероятно, первый образец толкования данного Евангелия в латинской традиции. Специфика Августиновского толкования на Евангелие от Иоанна определяется тем, что это скорее не научно-экзегетический трактат в собственном смысле слова, но собрание проповедейдля широкой, хотя и взыскательной аудитории. По мнению ряда зарубежных исследователей, «Толкование на Евангелие от Иоанна» было написано и произнесено в 406-418 гг.в Гиппонский епископский период жизни и деятельности Августина. Статья затрагиваетобщее отношение Августина к Священному Писанию и его в определённой степени вариативный символический подход к библейской экзегезе. Статья основывается на изучении текста блж. Августина и сопутствующей вторичной литературы по теме. The report provides a brief introductory overview of St. Augustine's of Hippo large work «The Interpretation on the Gospel of John» (In Ioannis Euangelium Tractatus CXXIV ) which has not been published in Russian, the circumstances of its writing and reflection the personality of Augustine as an exegete and preacher in it. The author reminds the reader of the well-known difference between the so-called synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John and points to the numerical superiority of the Old Church interpretations on the Gospel of Matthew compared to those on the Gospel of John, and also probably the first example of the interpretation on this Gospel in the Latin tradition. The specificity of Augustine's interpretation on John is determined by the fact that it is rather not a scientific-exegetical treatise proper, but a collection of sermons for a wide, though demanding audience. According to a number of foreign researchers the «The Interpretation on the Gospel of John» was written and pronounced in 406-418 in the Hippo episcopal period of Augustine's life and work. The report touches upon Augustine's general attitude to Holy Scripture and his variable symbolic approach to biblical exegesis in some ways. The article is based on the study of the text of the St. Augustine and related secondary literature on the subject.

The Second Coming of Christ and the Resurrection of the Body. Grundtvigs Eschatology. By C. I. Scharling. This essay shows how Grundtvig, in contrast to his contemporaries in the Church, laid great stress upon the eschatological hope of the future. He may have been partly inspired by Scandinavian mythology (the myth of Ragnarok) and partly by Schellings theories about the great drama of existence (the coming forth of ideas from the Absolute and their returning thither). But the essential point is that the eschatological hope grew forth naturally from his personal understanding of life and death, of the meaning and object of human life, and from his faith in the living, risen Christ as Lord and victor over the powers of darkness and death. It is remarkable that while after 1825 Grundtvig lived with such intensity in the experience of the realisation of the Kingdom of God here and now in the Church’s fellowship with the risen, present Saviour, at the same time, both in his hymns and in his preaching, he gives such powerful expression to the eschatological hope of the future. The author finds the explanation of this in the fact that for Grundtvig (unlike many others) it was not the need and distress of the time that gave life to the Biblical promises of the Second Coming of Christ and the setting*up of the Kingdom of Glory at the Last Day, but his very joy in God’s great Salvation, experienced in the Church. Thus the peculiar thing about Grundtvig’s eschatological expectation is that the tidings of the Second Coming of the Lord are for him an evangel in the full sense of the word; his feelings about the Last Day are far removed from the feeling of fear and horror which meets us in many of the mediaeval frescoes of the Lord’s Return to Judgment or in the old hymn, “Dies irae, dies ilia”. Characteristic of him, too, is his stress on the contin uity between the present world, which came into being at the Creation, and the world to come; the old world shall not be destroyed, but reborn and transfigured; its for this reason that he lays so much stress on faith in the resurrection of the body. On the other hand the author rejects the theory put forward by the Norwegian writer, Paulus Svendsen, that Grundtvig was a Chiliast and “believed in an external, perfect Kingdom of God on earth” ; he refutes it by reference to the fact that Grundtvig explicitly rejected Edward Irving’s conception of the millennium.

According to the Pentecostal tradition, miraculous or extraordinary healings confirm the Word being preached. There is, however, an on-going theological debate concerning how this understanding should be viewed in light of modern medical science. This article argues that a discussion of this issue should begin with an analysis of what the biblical texts say about healing. Its purpose is to contribute to laying a biblical groundwork for a further systematic theological discussion of the subject. This article explores the view of healing in relation to preaching in the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. Using Helge Kjær Nielsen’s doctoral dissertation as a dialogue partner, this article distinguishes between an eschatological and a legitimizing understanding of healing. It argues that both perspectives are prevalent in Luke and Acts. The eschatological understanding sees healing as a manifestation of the kingdom of God, and the legitimizing understanding views healing as a confirmation of the message being preached. This article maintains that these two perspectives belong together in an essential unity and that both are needed for a biblical view of healing. The last part of this article briefly reflects on the implications this observation has for the healing ministry of the church today in terms of the eschatological as well as the legitimizing aspects. Both aspects require further research.

The God of biblical revelation is present everywhere in the Gospel according to Matthew, but often in a self-effacing way, receding behind Jesus, Emmanuel, God-with-us. God's presence is veiled by divine passives, hidden behind the reverent circumlocution “heavens.” The parable of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God is widely stated in our Gospel of Matthew. Many scholars claim that the Gospel of Matthew reveals more about Jesus as a powerful King.

The Development of Grundtvig ’s Theology until about the Time of the Composition of .The Land of the Living. About the Eschatological Tension in the Understanding of the Kingdom of GodBy Elisabeth Albinus GlenthøjIn order to characterize briefly Grundtvig’s ideas about the Kingdom of God, the following statements are crucial: The Kingdom of God will break through visibly at the Second Coming of Christ. Until then the Kingdom is present to Faith and Hope through the Holy Spirit.The tension between the eschatological, visible Kingdom of God and the presence of the Kingdom now is a common theme in Grundtvig’s hymns. This study seeks to trace the development of Grundtvig’s theology towards his fully developed view of the Kingdom of God. The subject of the study is the great hymn, .The Land of the Living., from 1824, which contains beginnings of Grundtvig’s more elaborated view. The basic texts of the study are sermons by Grundtvig from 1821 to 1824, the period in which the eschatological tension emerges.Sections I to II.A. bring a chronological outline of the development of Grundtvig’s theology during the period until and including the year 1824. Section II.B. examines »The Land of the Living«  in the light of this outline. Throughout the study the emphasis is on the emergence of the eschatological tension.From his parents Grundtvig inherits a belief in a Kingdom of God hereafter, but as Grundtvig experiences the presence of the Lord through the Holy Spirit - in his own life and in the Church - the theology develops towards an understanding of the Kingdom of God as already present to Faith and Hope through the Holy Spirit. The future visible Kingdom illuminates the life of the Church already. Thus the eschatological tension emerges.The continuity between the future and the present Kingdom of God is found in the union with Christ through the Holy Spirit. This union is granted in Baptism and is nourished first and foremost through the Eucharist, and, next, through prayer and words of praise. Grundtvig’s experience of Pentecost underlies »The Land of the Living«: The Holy Spirit builds up the heart of man to become a temple for the Father and Son (stanza 12). Stanzas 7 to 11 elaborate the content of this unity with the Trinity. From here originates the life of the Church in the love of God and of one’s neighbour, a life which, through the Holy Spirit, takes man closer to the likeness to Christ; the goal is reached in Eternity. Wherever the love of God prevails, the Kingdom of God is present (stanza 13); that is where men are »co-operating witnesses to the divine struggle of the Spirit against the flesh«, against everything »which seeks to ... wipe out His image, destroy His temple within us« (Eighth Sunday after Trinity, 1824).

The paper discusses the problem of the proper interpretation of the Petrine text from the Gospel of Matthew 16,18-19. It is based on the mainly protestant but also orthodox and catholic commentaries to these verses. Jesus Christ bestowed on the apostle Peter the unique and supreme authority in the Kingdom of God. He changed his name from Simon to Peter to show him and others that this apostle received new dignity and mission, which is to be the rock for the future community of believers. What is more, Jesus also entrusted to Peter the “Keys of the Kingdom” in the same way like in the Old Testament king of the house of David appointed his own prime mister, royal steward by giving to him the “Key of the House of David”. Therefore Peter occupies the same office with the same supreme authority  under the new jewish king, Jesus Christ. Due to this fact it also means that this office is transferred from one prime minister to another. Furthermore, to Peter was given the power of “binding and loosing” with the special protection of God called infallibility. For these reasons, the Catholic interpretation which does not ignore the jewish context and the Old Testament allusions to this passage is truly shedding the new light on the proper interpretation of this Matthew’s fragment and the role of the Apostle Peter.

For anyone interested in the origins of Christianity, Joseph A. Fitzmyer's The Acts of the Apostles is indispensable. Beginning with the Ascension of Christ into heaven, and ending with Paul proclaiming the kingdom of God from a prison in Rome, this New Testament narrative picks up where the Gospel of Luke left off. The Acts of the Apostles is indeed a journey of nearly epic proportions--and one that requires a guide as adept as Fitzmyer. Since Acts was most likely written by the same person who composed the Gospel of Luke, it is only fitting that the Anchor Bible Commentaries on these New Testament books should be written by the same author. With The Acts of the Apostles, Fitzmyer gives readers the long-awaited companion to his two-volume commentary on the Gospel of Luke. The Four Gospels recount the life and teachings of Jesus, but only the book of the Acts of the Apostles tells the story of what happened after Jesus’ departure. In this second of St. Luke’s two-volume work, he picks up with Jesus saying farewell to his followers; then Luke tells the fast-paced story of the birth and growth of the early church. This narrative reads like a major breaking news story, with the apostles Peter and Paul as the main characters. The interpretation of Acts requires a scholar of the highest quality. As he demonstrates in The Acts of the Apostles, Joseph Fitzmyer not only is up to the task but establishes once again why he is ranked among the world’s top biblical scholars. Far from being a rehash of old ideas and well-rehearsed theories, Fitzmyer’s commentary distinguishes itself as the capstone of his career, with a new synthesis of all the relevant data from the Roman world to the present. He provides a thorough introduction to the background, text, and context of the book, as well as chapter-by-chapter notes and comments in which are offered insights and answers to questions that have long plagued preachers and parishioners, teachers and students. This commentary is destined to join Fitzmyer’s Anchor Bible commentaries on the Gospel According to Luke and the Epistle to the Romans as the most authoritative commentary available on Acts.

The baptism of Jesus and John, presented in the synoptic Gospels, shows it as an event full of the dynamics of the Spirit. It takes place according to the assumptions of each Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. In the Gospel of Mark Jesus shares with humanity the same nature that has been subjected to sin. Baptism becomes the beginning of a new saving economy in which it is necessary to bear witness. The essential element of this testimony is the cross which all His disciples have to share with the Lord. The community on the one hand then needs baptism as a way to go out, and on the other, it is strengthened by the gift of the Spirit that leads to the testimony.
