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.

AbstractAs an exercise in the ‘theology of disclosure’, the present essay proposes a kind of phenomenological analysis of the act of reading the Bible as Scripture with the goal of bringing to light the theoretical commitments which it implicitly demands. This sort of analysis can prove helpful for the continuing disputes among Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox insofar as it is relevant for one of the principal points of controversy between them: namely, the relationship between Scripture, Tradition, and Church as theological authorities. It proceeds by analyzing both the objective and subjective ‘poles’ of the act, and it illuminates the presence of the Church and her Tradition on both sides. The Church—i.e., the community of God’s people—is both that which is immediately encountered in the text, as well as the factor which enables scriptural reading in the first place. The article terminates with an application of the insights of the preceding discussion to the controversy about icons.

As God's people, the church needs to realize that diversity is an essential nature of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Efforts to homogenize nations that are diverse in race, ethnicity, culture, and religion must be seen as efforts to divide the nation. Therefore religions in Indonesia, especially the Church of God must really be a motivator and encourage their citizens to be truly aware of the diversity of the nation and take part in fostering a lifeof life that respects diversity and tolerates life with fellow human beings with everything attached to himself, including his religion and culture. In connection with the above, the church leaders and theologians must really try to find an understanding of faith that encourages people to accept differences and be able to build a tolerant life together. Efforts in that direction can be built through the perspectives of all fields of theological studies. This paper contains efforts to build a tolerant shared life from a systematic perspective. Theology of Religions and the Biblical (Old Testament). The dogmaticperspective sees two basic needs, namely to nurture and increasingly take root in the faith of church members, and the need to determine attitudes towards the presence of other religious life together. Without forgetting the universal nature of religion as an expression of religious awareness. From an ethical perspective feel the need to develop global ethics that are universal. From the perspective of the science of religions, it is necessary to highlight the verses of the Scriptures possessed by each religion that is universal. While the Biblical perspective sees the importance of Christians understanding their holy books diachronically and holistically. Because improper ways of understanding the Bible make possible the birth of exclusive fundamentalists. Central themes, such as love, justice, truth, peace, redemption, goodness, and life are believed to be from God, all of which are universal. All biblical texts, if understood, diachronically, then the text messages are the central themes already mentioned.

O Vaticano II é um evento histórico e local que exige, em cada tempo e espaço, leituras novas e específicas. No tabuleiro da caminhada destes anos pós-conciliares, tudo estava em movimento. Para invalidar ou relativizar o Vaticano II, certos setores argumentam que hoje os tempos seriam outros. É um argumento que pode servir também para a leitura da Bíblia, dos dogmas e de todos os concílios da história da Igreja. Já que os tempos sempre são outros não podemos ler o significado de nenhum evento histórico como ponto final. Portanto, o Vaticano II é ponto de partida, face às “realidades sujeitas à permanente evolução” (GS 91,2). Reinterpretações históricas fazem parte da fidelidade à mensagem original e da audácia que a história exige (cf. DAp 11).No cinquentenário da abertura do Vaticano II podemos perceber que a recepção documental do Concílio foi melhor do que sua recepção real. Precisamos retomar seus eixos teológico-pastorais e transformar sua eclesiologia em estruturas que correspondam ao aggiornamento do século XXI. Podemos desinibir a “virada popular” interrompida através de três avanços que apontam para os sujeitos e as estruturas eclesiais: a opção com os pobres/outros, a requalificação do laicato como povo de Deus, e a construção de uma Igreja, universalmente, articulada em rede e, localmente, autóctone.Abstract: The Vatican II is a local and historic event that requires, at every time and space, new and specific readings. On the boardwalk of these post-conciliar years, everything was in motion. To invalidate or relativize the Vatican II, certain sectors argue that today things are different. This is an argument that can also be used with reference to the reading of the Bible, to the dogmas and to all councils in the history of the Church. Since the times are always different we cannot read the meaning of any historical event as the final point. Therefore, the Vatican II is the starting point, in the face of the “realities subject to the permanent evolution” (GS 91.2). Historical reinterpretations are part of the fidelity to the original message and of the boldness required by history. (cf. DAp 11).On the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of Vatican II we can see that the documental reception of the Council was better than its actual reception. We need to regain its theological-pastoral axes and transform its ecclesiology in structures that correspond to the aggiornamento of the 21st century. We can disinhibit “the popular turn” interrupted by three developments that point to the ecclesial subject and ecclesial structures: the option for the poor / others, the requalification of the laity as God’s people, and the construction of a Church that – universally – is articulated as a network and – locally – is autochthonous.

There are various choices in understanding the Bible to become dogma in a church. Whether it was built based on a guide from the Bible and the traditions of the apostles or church fathers, to those who only focus on the Bible. Those based only on the Bible also have their own uniqueness. Amillennialism believes that the church is in the entire Old Testament. Paul, for example, uses the church that leads to Israel (Gal. 6:16). In addition, the remnants of the Israelites in the OT were said to be the church (Acts 7:38). The church is already in the OT with the election of the nation of Israel to be God's people. Even further, followers of amillennialism believe that the church existed in the garden of Eden. Covenant theology bases its theological understanding and the study of the Bible is based on three covenants namely the work agreement, redemption and grace. Covenant theology can be said to be a new theology, not even in the days of the church fathers. Even so, Augustine did mention the relationship of Adam, who at first, stood before God as a covenant. The exposition of the book of Revelation, according to the Covenant Theologian, is based on the method of progressive parallelism which is divided into seven parts. The seven parts are parallel with each other. Each section also reveals a certain progression in the process of eschatology. Although the book of Revelation is divided into seven parts, it should not only pay attention or focus on one part, but should appreciate all parts of the book of Revelation as a whole. Abstrak Indonesia Ada aneka pilihan di dalam memahami Alkitab untuk bisa menjadi dogma dalam sebuah gereja. Entah yang dibangun berdasar perpanduan dari Alkitab dan tradisi para rasul atau bapa gereja, hingga yang hanya fokus kepada Alkitab semata. Yang mendasarkan pada Alkitab saja, juga memiliki keunikannya masing-masing. Kaum amilenialisme meyakini bahwa gereja sudah ada di dalam seluruh Perjanjian Lama. Paulus, contohnya, memakai gereja yang mengarah kepada Israel (Gal. 6:16). Di samping itu, sisa-sisa orang Israel di dalam PL dikatakan sebagai gereja (Kis. 7:38). Gereja sudah ada di dalam PL dengan pemilihan bangsa Israel menjadi umat Allah. Bahkan lebih jauh lagi, penganut amilenialisme percaya bahwa gereja sudah ada ketika di taman Eden. Teologi kovenan mendasarkan pemahaman teologis maupun penelahaan Alkitabnya berdasarkan dari tiga perjanjian yaitu perjanjian kerja, penebusan dan anugerah. Teologi perjanjian dapat dikatakan suatu teologi yang baru, bahkan belum ada pada masa bapa-bapa gereja. Meskipun demikian, Agustinus memang pernah menyinggung hubungan Adam, yang pada mulanya, berdiri di hadapan Allah sebagai perjanjian. Eksposisi kitab Wahyu, menurut Teolog Kovenan, didasarkan pada metode paralelisme progresif yang terbagi menjadi tujuh bagian. Ketujuh bagian tersebut bersifat paralel satu dengan lainnya. Masing-masing bagian juga menyingkapkan akan progresivitas tertentu dalam proses eskatologi. Meskipun kitab Wahyu terbagi atas tujuh bagian, namun tidak boleh hanya memperhatikan atau terfokus pada satu bagian saja, tetapi hendaknya menghargai semua bagian dalam kitab Wahyu sebagai keseluruhan.

Perempuan yang bersyukur saat ini menjadi sebuah situasi yang sulit dilakukan oleh wanita dalam hidupnya. Kaum wanita hedonis  karena tidak hanya merugikan secara rohani, namun juga karakter dan kepribadian individu. Oleh sebab itu penerapan perempuan bersyukur menurut Alkitab sangat penting bagi wanita yang hedonis dan tidak bersyukur dengan melalui pemahaman Firman Tuhan yang benar, mengetahui hakikatnya sebagai umat Allah. Alkitab mengajarkan bahwa menikah untuk menjadi satu dan bukan menjadi sama.  Orang akan frustasi apabila menjadikan pernikahan sebagai target untuk menjadi sama, yang sesungguhnya adalah saling melengkapi. Sehingga, sebagai pasangan suami istri seharusnya dapat menerima apa adanya satu sama lain, misalnya; sikapnya, sifatnya, tempramennya, karakternya. Dengan kekurangan ataupun kelebihan yang ada, tidak dapat merubah pasangan dengan mencela, menuntut, ataupun menjadikan sama dengan keinginannya. Firman Tuhan merupakan kebenaran yang akan menuntun orang percaya untuk serupa dengan Kristus Yesus. Kaum wanita hedonis yang tidak bersyukur telah terjadi di berbagai kalangan. Ini merupakan situasi yang memprihatikan, penurunan kualitas secara rohani, dan moral tentunya akan berpengaruh terhadap gereja. Berangkat dari problematika tersebut, jelas bahwa wanita hedonis sangat membahayakan. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif-theologis dalam skripsi ini penulis memberikan implementasi bagi kaum wanita hedonis, sehingga hasil studi ini dapat menjadi acuan bagi kaum wanita dalam meningkatkan kualitas rohaninya.      Today, a grateful woman is a situation that is difficult for women to do in her life. Women are hedonistic because they are not only detrimental to spirituality, but also to individual character and personality. Therefore, the application of women who are grateful according to the Bible is very important for women who are hedonistic and ungrateful, through understanding the true Word of God, knowing their essence as God's people. The Bible teaches that marrying is to be one and not the same. People will be frustrated if they make marriage as the target to be the same, which is actually complementary. So, as a married couple, they should be able to accept each other's existence, for example; his attitude, his character, his temper, his character. With existing weaknesses or strengths, one cannot change a partner by criticizing, demanding, or making the same as what he wants. God's Word is the truth that will lead believers to be like Christ Jesus. Hedonist women who are not grateful have occurred in various circles. This is a situation of concern, spiritual and moral deterioration will certainly affect the church. Departing from these problems, it is clear that hedonistic women are very dangerous.

Summary The article tries to outline the position of Piotr Skarga in the Jesuit debates about the legacy of humanist Renaissance. The author argues that Skarga was fully committed to the adaptation of humanist and even medieval ideas into the revitalized post-Tridentine Catholicism. Skarga’s aim was to reformulate the humanist worldview, its idea of man, system of values and political views so that they would fit the doctrine of the Roman Catholic church. In effect, though, it meant supplanting the pluralist and open humanist culture by a construct as solidly Catholic as possible. He sifted through, verified, and re-interpreted the humanist material: as a result the humanist myth of the City of the Sun was eclipsed by reminders of the transience of all earthly goods and pursuits; elements of the Greek and Roman tradition were reconnected with the authoritative Biblical account of world history; and man was reinscribed into the theocentric perspective. Skarga brought back the dogmas of the original sin and sanctifying grace, reiterated the importance of asceticism and self-discipline, redefined the ideas of human dignity and freedom, and, in consequence, came up with a clear-cut, integrist view of the meaning and goal of the good life as well as the proper mission of the citizen and the nation. The polemical edge of Piotr Skarga’s cultural project was aimed both at Protestantism and the Erasmian tendency within the Catholic church. While strongly coloured by the Ignatian spirituality with its insistence on rigorous discipline, a sense of responsibility for the lives of other people and the culture of the community, and a commitment to the heroic ideal of a miles Christi, taking headon the challenges of the flesh, the world, Satan, and the enemies of the patria and the Church, it also went a long way to adapt the Jesuit model to Poland’s socio-cultural conditions and the mentality of its inhabitants.
