Expression and Level of Test Anxiety in a Sample of Elementary Students
Authors: Lowe Patricia A.
Published: February 2019

This study examined the expression and level of test anxiety in a sample of 1221 elementary school students. The Test Anxiety Scale for Elementary Students (TAS-E), a new multidimensional measure developed based on recent conceptualizations of the test anxiety construct, was administered to elementary school-age students. The TAS-E consists of four test anxiety (Physiological Hyperarousal, Social Concerns, Task Irrelevant Behaviors, and Worry) subscales and a Total Test Anxiety scale. The results of four multi-group confirmatory factor analyses and latent mean analyses supported invariance between groups in the four multi-group comparisons conducted and found grade and gender differences in the level and expression of test anxiety among elementary students in grades 2-5 on the TAS-E. This is the first measurement invariance study to include students as young as grade 2 on a new multidimensional measure of test anxiety. Implications of the findings of the study for mental health professionals and educators who work with elementary school-age students are discussed.
Rationality and Students’ Misconduct at University: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications
Authors: Grira Jocelyn , Jaeck Louis
Published: February 2019

We investigate the determinants of students’ misconduct at university. Using a sample of 310 surveyed students, we find that students are more likely to cheat when they have previous misconduct records, when they perceive academic integrity policy as being poorly enforced, and when they perceive that instructor tolerance toward misconduct incidents is high. Moreover, misconduct behavior tends to increase with students’ seniority and the perceived level of course difficulty. Surprisingly, students’ motivations toward reading, writing, and learning do not seem to have a valuable impact on the likelihood of their misconduct. Our findings have important policy implications that relate to the university culture of academic integrity, instructors’ tolerance vis-à-vis students’ misconduct behavior, and the effectiveness of punitive actions.

Published: February 2019

Our students experience difficulties in working on non-routine mathematical problems. They cannot see the general through special things or instead see things that are special through common things when dealing with mathematical concepts and examples. They cannot see the essential features of the way or recognize it when presented in various forms. We needed to improved their learning motivation and thinking creativity through the appropriate learning form. For that purpose, the action research was carried out by applying the snowball throwing type of cooperative learning in two cycles by involving as many as 70 participants in our calculus course. We implemented the teaching techniques for finding a diffractive solution in period 1 and the methods of solving differential equations in period 2. The learning implementation of period two was the improvisation of the cycle one’ scenario by adding the learning resources, the Internet. The increase in learning motivation and thinking creativity had been able to meet the predetermined targets and concluded that the snowball throwing type of cooperative learning used in calculus lectures is useful.

A questionnaire of 53 items was used and analyzed statistically, the results showed that the most prominent item in the effectiveness of the use of visual organizations to improve reading and writing for students with learning difficulties is: “able to read sentences enhanced with pictures and without pictures, and distinguish between the image of the character and its writing”, the most prominent obstacle to the effectiveness of using visual organizations is not to use visual organizations that fit with the teaching methods of students with learning disabilities, as for the variables, the study showed the existence of differences attributed to the impact of gender and for the benefit of females, the results showed that there are statistically significant differences due to the effect of scientific qualification, and the absence of statistical differences due to the effect of years of experience.
The Effect of Audiovisual Education on Physical Activity Tendencies in Secondary School Children
Authors: Güllü Abdullah , Güllü Esin
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of audiovisual education method on the physical activity tendencies of 13-year-old secondary school students. A total of 66 healthy and voluntary male students who were aged 13 years in secondary school participated in this study. The participants were randomly divided into three groups: an educational group (EG; n: 22; height: 146.51±9.01 cm; weight: 37.73±12.20 kg), educational group with parents (EGP; n: 23; height: 146.97±7.19 cm; weight: 42.04±11.39 kg) and a control group (CG; n: 21; height: 141.53±8.27 cm; weight: 39.62±11.72 kg). EG and EGP completed their audiovisual education program in 2 days of the intervention week. Total energy expenditure (TEE), physical activity level (MET), STEP, physical activity duration, lying-down duration and sleep duration values were taken with SenseWear Armband in 6 consecutive days during 24 hours. These values of the study group were taken before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention week. The variances between the groups were determined by one-way ANOVA, and multiple comparisons were used to determine possible differences. The level of significance was used at 0.05. After the audiovisual education programs, a significant increase were observed in the TEE, STEP and MET values of the groups. According to the CG, the TEE and MET values were significantly higher in favor of EGP, and in STEP was also significantly higher in favor of EG and EGP. The audiovisual education programs may contribute to increase physical activity levels by affecting the children’s intrinsic motivations. Also, the family played an effective role in physical activity trends, and therefore, increased the inner motivation of the child, and caused the negative behaviors to be positively changed.

A new approach to policing stalking in the Netherlands

In 2016 an independent review into a deadly ex-partner stalking caseEenhoorn Commission. (2016). Conclusies en aanbevelingen: Onderzoeksrapport TweeSteden. identified a number of structural problems in the police’s approach to stalking cases. Police struggle to accurately and effectively assess and respond to stalking cases because of several reasons. Police often fail to identify stalking by focusing too much on single incidents, missing the pattern of behaviours that constitute stalking. Investigations also focus on the criminal offence of stalking, with police waiting to take action until a particular threshold is reached. There is a lack of knowledge about stalking in general and risk factors associated with stalking in particular, which means the victim’s safety can be at stake if adequate security measures are not taken. These findings led to the development of a new structured response to ex-partner stalking cases, which consists of an automated query, case screening and prioritisation with the SASHMcEwan, T. E., Strand, S., MacKenzie, R. D., & James, D. V. (2015). Screening Assessment for Stalking and Harassment (SASH)., case management together with partner agencies and improved training for police officers who are handling stalking cases. Victim safety must always be the first priority.

The Quality of Prison Life in Dutch prisons: the Life In Custody study

The Life In Custody-study is a large scale, prospective panel study, aimed to examine the quality of prison life in The Netherlands. This paper describes the LIC-study by giving a detailed overview of the data collection procedure, and strategies to optimize response, and presents the first nationwide results on prison climate in The Netherlands. Results show that the data collection procedures utilized were successful in obtaining a high response rate (which was an exceptional 81%) and reaching a representative group of prisoners. Furthermore, results show that the perceptions of prison climate vary across prison regimes, and to a lesser extent across age groups and time spent in detention.

Biolaw and psychopharmacotherapy
Authors: Czachorowski Marek
Published: February 2019

In the article one of the key issues of contemporary bioethical law is presented, concerning the so called cosmetic psycho-pharmacology – the widespread overuse of psychiatric medication (mainly antidepressant drugs) not only for medical reasons, but also to enhance the human nature. Prevailing and lasting feeling of sadness which inhibits, or, in luminal cases, paralyses any activity, is perceived as an undesirable part of our lives. The admission to use antidepressant drugs (in the USA in 1987) has marked the start of a new era in human history. On the one hand, it is an era of prevailing depression – 10% of all Americans (including children) uses those drugs on daily basis. On the other hand, it is an era of post-human, as described by F. Fukuyama, since the feeling of sadness is to be conquered not by engaging human mind and will, but by the use of psycho-pharmacological substances. Thus, precise legal regulations are needed, protecting human dignity against technological manipulation. Only a serious scientific discussion can prepare us for this issue, however, such a debate has so far eluded Polish bio-jurisprudence. Reflecting on the subject is made impossible by the belief that philosophical anthropology is not necessary in legal discourse, which is widespread among some bio-lawyers.
REQUEST FOR NOTIFICATION PURSUANT TO ART. 337A OF THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE – REGRESSION OR STRENGTHENING OF THE AGGRIEVED PARTY’S RIGHTS?
Authors: Gurbiel Agnieszka
Published: February 2019

The new provision of Article 337a, added to the Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) through the amendment of 2016, pertains to circumstances of which the injured party is to be informed after the indictment is filed with the Court. Article 337a CCP sets out the obligation for the Court to inform the injured party, but only upon the party’s request, of the date and place of the hearing or the Court session on discontinuation of the proceedings under Article 17 § 1 points 2-11 CCP, discontinuation of the proceedings due to the absence of clear grounds for the accusations, conditional discontinuation of the proceedings and conviction without a hearing. This obligation also applies to notifying the injured party – upon the party’s request – of the criminal charges and their legal qualification. The new regulation raises numerous doubts – first, about the format of the request and, second, relating to the absence of a time limit therein within which the injured party should file his/her request for information. The question is also how the Court should inform the injured party of the charges and their legal qualification. Concerns relate to the procedure where the request referred to in § 1 of the regulation has been filed by too high a number of injured parties. The principal uncertainty about the new regulation is quite essential – whether the new regulation fits with the concept of enhancing the rights of the injured party in criminal litigation.

SUPERVISION OF THE STATE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OVER ELECTORAL COMMITTEES DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Authors: Pyrzyńska Agata
Published: February 2019

The subject of this article is the problem of the supervisory tasks of the National Electoral Commission (the NEC) in relation to electoral committees. Within the meaning of the Polish Electoral Code, the NEC is the most important supervisory body over the observance of the electoral law. While the NEC’s supervision does not raise any doubts with regard to lower-level electoral bodies, so controversy arises in the context of entities involved in the electoral process, but which are not part of electoral administration. Among these entities there are mainly electoral committees. In this article the author analyzes the means by which the NEC may influence the activity of electoral committees during the election campaign. In the article the procedure of examining notifications about the establishment of electoral committees was discussed as well as the Commission's impact on committees through guidelines issued by it, explanations and other documents (positions, appeals and information).
CHANGES IN POLISH LEGAL REGULATIONS CONCERNING ROAD TRAFFIC IN THE 20S AND 30S OF THE 20TH CENTURY, IN THE CONTEXT OF AN EXEMPLARY ROAD COLLISION
Authors: Sypniewski Tomasz
Published: February 2019

Today, looking at the still crowded streets of our cities, we often do not realize how
important and essential for their normal functioning are legal regulations of road traffic for all
its users. The beginnings of Polish legislation in this field date back to the 1920s. The dynamics of change, occurring in this relatively new field of life, required the introduction of a series of further adjustments and revisions. The Regulation of July 6, 1922 was only six years old. On January 27, 1928, the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Internal Affairs in agreement with the Minister of Military Affairs passed a regulation on the movement of motor vehicles on public roads. Before 1939, normative acts regulating the rules of motor vehicle traffic were repealed twice and replaced with newer legal acts.
THE CRIMINAL LAW IMPLICATIONS OF A DEFAULT ON PAYMENT OF A FINE FOR A FISCAL OFFENCE OR A FISCAL TRANSGRESSION
Authors: Wrzosek Remigiusz
Published: February 2019

The content of this article concerns the controversial issue regarding the scope of application of Articles 185 and 186 of the Penal and Fiscal Code (PFC) regulating the substitute forms of enforcing the unpaid fine imposed for criminal fiscal acts. The author attempts to resolve whether the above-mentioned provisions of PFC shall be applied both to the cases of a default on payment and failure to enforce a fine imposed for fiscal offences and fiscal transgressions or only to fines imposed for fiscal transgressions. The paper concludes that Articles 45 and 46 of PFC in conjunction with Article 178 § 1 of PFC, and not specific provisions of Articles 185 and 186 of PFC, shall apply to unenforced fines imposed against perpetrators of fiscal offences. In order to eliminate basic interpretation discrepancies, which may lead to jurisdiction disparity and consequently to unequal treatment of perpetrators sentenced to a fine for criminal fiscal acts of a varied weight, the regulatory intervention may seem required here.
GLOSS TO THE VERDICT OF THE SUPREME COURT ON 4 APRIL 2018, V KK 112/18, WHICH STATED THAT IF THE POTENTIAL PERPETRATOR HAS A STRONG ALIBI, HE CANNOT BE CONVICTED
Authors: Juchacz Wiesław
Published: February 2019

The verdict under consideration relates to the case heard by the Supreme Court as a result of a cassation filed by the Prosecutor-General - the Minister of Justice against a prescriptive order issued by the District Court in S. on December 3, 2015.
The district court, in the issued order warrant, found the accused person guilty of theft of cosmetics worth about PLN 25 (Article 119 § 1 of the Code of Offences (CO)). The court adjudicated a one-month limitation of liberty with the obligation to provide unpaid, controlled work for social purposes of 40 hours. Due to the fact that the ruling was not appealed against, there was no appeal proceedings - the judgment thus became legally valid.
A closer look at polyunsaturated fatty acids and hypertension
Authors: Martynowicz Helena , Jodkowska Anna , Nowacki Dorian , Mazur Grzegorz
Published: February 2019

Hypertension is the most common chronic cardiovascular disease in adults in all Western societies. Unfortunately, hypertension treatment is still often insufficient and in most countries the majority of patients still have inadequately controlled blood pressure. In recent years, dietary modifications and supplementations, including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), have attracted considerable interest as a potentially complementary therapy for the treatment of hypertension. The reduction of blood pressure due to PUFA supplementation may be a consequence of promoting nitric oxide-induced endothelial relaxation, a reduced vasoconstrictive response to catecholamines and angiotensin II, improved vasodilatory responses, arterial compliance and reduced oxidative stress. It has been clearly demonstrated that PUFA decreases blood pressure in experimental studies, animal models and clinical trials, especially in higher doses (more than 3g/day). Thus, PUFA consumption might be useful, particularly in the control of patients with 1st degree hypertension or as a complementary method in treating patients with antihypertensives. The consumption of fishes, the main source of PUFA, needs to be recommended for all the hypertensives to reduce cardiovascular risk. Because of the dose-dependent effect differences, the choice of a correct dose of PUFA may be difficult and controversial. Therefore, a qualified healthcare provider should be consulted prior to starting treatment with PUFA supplements.

Nine Ideas for Including a Civic Engagement Theme in an Informal Logic Course
Authors: Cassidy Lisa ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2019

A class in informal logic can be an opportunity to do more than just cover the basic material of the subject (such as fallacies, induction, and deduction). Critical Thinking can also foster civic engagement as experiential learning—in the course’s readings, assignments, in-class activities and discussions, and tests. I favor an inclusive understanding of civic engagement: the course theme is engaging (from the French, pledging with) with the concerns of the civis (Latin for the citizenry). The argument made throughout here is that the civic engagement theme is a way of doing experiential learning in informal logic. I offer nine ideas for instructors here, which could be adopted wholesale or piecemeal, including how to do CSI (that’s Civic Scene Investigation).
Financing Higher Education through Student Loans: An Examination of Student Loan Take up and the Debt Burden among Ghanaian Tertiary Students
Authors: Dary Stanley K , James Harvey S.
Published: February 2019

This article examines the factors influencing demand for student loans from Ghana’s Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) and the loan debt burden at completion using a sample of 400 final-year students in two higher education institutions in the country’s Upper West Region. The results show that both the loan take-up rate and the loan debt burden among students are relatively low. Demand for student loans and the loan debt burden is modeled as probit and Tobit (left censored), respectively. The results reveal that student age, household size, parents’ occupation, salary, number of income sources, and the length of the study programme play a significant role in explaining the demand for student loans and the loan debt burden at completion among tertiary students. These socio-economic factors should thus inform the design and administration of student loans.Cet article étudie les facteurs qui influencent les demandes de prêts étudiants auprès du Student Loan Trust Fund (SLTF, Fonds pour le prêt étudiant) du Ghana et le poids de l’endettement à la fin des études, à partir d’un échantillon de 400 étudiants en dernière année dans deux établissements d’enseignement supérieur de la région du Haut Ghana Occidental. Les résultats démontrent que le nombre de demandes de prêt et le poids de l’endettement sont relativement faibles chez les étudiants. Les demandes de prêts étudiants et le poids de l’endettement sont analysés respectivement avec des modèles probit et tobit (censure à gauche). Les résultats indiquent que l’âge des étudiants, la taille du foyer, la profession des parents, le salaire, le nombre de sources de revenus et la durée de la formation permettent en grande partie d’expliquer les demandes de prêts étudiants et le poids de l’endettement à la fin des études pour les étudiants issus de l’enseignement supérieur. Ces facteurs socio-économiques devraient avoir un impact sur la conception et la gestion des prêts étudiants.
Continuing Professional Development for Lecturers at the National University of Lesotho: Milestones and Challenges
Authors: Tlali Tebello
Published: February 2019

This article appraises efforts by the National University of Lesotho (NUL) to provide continuing professional development for lecturers. The findings of a previous study suggested that the majority of lecturers at this university were not trained as teachers and that this could negatively impact on their teaching. The establishment of a staff academic development center was long overdue. In April 2014, the university established the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL). Drawing on a constructivist perspective, a qualitative approach was adopted to explore the current situation. The findings indicate that efforts to roll out continuing professional development for lecturers have not borne any significant results. The problem is exacerbated by a lack of support from the university community as well as lecturers’ poor attendance at the staff academic development workshops hosted by the CTL. It is thus recommended that management put mechanisms in place to support the center and ensure compulsory staff participation.  Cet article vise à évaluer les moyens mis en place par l’Université Nationale du Lesotho (National University of Lesotho ou NUL) pour offrir une formation professionnelle continue aux Maîtres de conférence. Une précédente recherche a démontré que la majorité des Maîtres de conférence de cette université ne recevait pas de formation en tant qu’enseignants, ce qui pouvait avoir un impact négatif sur leur activité d’enseignement. Il était donc grand temps de créer un centre de formation pour le personnel universitaire. En avril 2014, l’université a inauguré un Centre d’Enseignement et d’Apprentissage (Centre for Teaching and Learning ou CTL). A partir d’un point de vue constructiviste, la situation actuelle a été examinée selon une approche qualitative. Les résultats de cette recherche indiquent que les moyens mis en place pour proposer aux Maîtres de conférence une formation professionnelle continue n’ont pas été concluants. Le problème est accentué par un manque de soutien de la part de la communauté universitaire et par les absences répétées des Maîtres de conférence aux ateliers de formation organisés par le CTL pour le personnel universitaire. Il serait pertinent que la direction mette en place des mécanismes permettant de soutenir le Centre et de rendre la participation du personnel obligatoire.

Dramatisk teologi – en introduktion af Raymund Schwager
Authors: Thusgård Esben
Published: February 2019

This article introduces the Swiss/Austrian catholic theologian Raymund Schwager (1935-2004) to a Danish audience. It is argued that Schwager’s dramatic theology offers a coherent model for interpreting the paradoxes in Christian faith. How can God be described as both constructive and deconstructive, as both merciful and full of anger? Combining Hans Urs von Balthasar’s conception of drama and René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire and scapegoating, Schwager formulates a theology, where the vertical aspects of reconciliation do not overshadow the horizontal aspects, and viceversa. The action of God in Christ meets human reaction in a balanced way. The drama contains five acts: 1. Jesus proclaims the Kingdom of God; 2. The rejection of Jesus’ preaching; 3. The judgment of Jesus and his crucifixion; 4. Resurrection as the reaction of the Father; 5. The new gathering. The perspective, provided by the drama, makes it possible to integrate themes, which otherwise seem without any relation, for in the drama, as well in our lives, everything is interrelated and interdependent. A dramatic view on the revelation thus clarifies how action is succeeded by reaction: God speaks and human beings respond.
Imago dei. Et problem i de Fem Mosebøgers diskurs
Authors: Thompson Thomas L.
Published: February 2019

Three times Genesis presents mankind as created in the image of God: the known is explained with the help of the unknown, as this narrative takes place in Feuerbach’s hall of mirrors. Do these texts speak of humanity created in God’s image or of the divine created in likeness of the human? Certainly the figure of Yahweh which dominates the narrative of the Pentateuch, reflects some of the most repulsive and objectionable of human traits. Does the narrative of the Pentateuch present us with its authors’ image of God or does it use ironic inversion to ultimately agree with Job that the God it narrates is false: one won from rumors, stories and tradition: a misunderstanding of the divine; that is, precisely the god as Israel of the past knew him. Taking its point of departure in my inaugural lecture, which dealt with the expression of Yahweh’s self-understanding, presented in the story of Moses at the burning bush, the first part of the lecture takes up the motif of images and likenesses of Yahweh in the stories of the golden calf, the feeding of Israel with manna and quail in the wilderness and the sending of the spies to the Valley of Eshkol. With the help of these narratives, I can then turn to the three-fold allegory of humanity as created in the image of God in Genesis 1-11 to compare this narrative figure of Yahweh with the concept of God in the Book of Job.
Til erstatning for Pontoppidan
Authors: Elstad Hallgeir
Published: February 2019

This article offers an analysis of some catechisms produced in the time of Enlightenment, shortly before and after 1800 in Denmark and Norway. These religion books were intended to replace Pontoppidan’s ‘explanation’ of Luther’s Minor Catechism, which had been the reader for confirmands and also in elementary school since the 1730s. Pontoppidan’s book clearly had a pietistic colour, and for both theological and pedagogical reasons the clergy influenced by the Enlightenment wanted new books. In Denmark Pontoppidan was replaced by Balle’s Lærebog i den Evangelisk-christelige religion in 1794. In Norway Pontoppidan still dominated most of the nineteenth century although alternative readers could be used in some local congregations. The followinganalysis shows that discipline and common duties were sharply underlined in the catechisms of the Enlightenment.
Kristendommen og religionerne
Authors: Jenson Robert W.
Published: February 2019

In the present article, Robert W. Jenson argues against the commonly used simile that all religions are only different paths leading to the top of the same mountain. Instead, it is suggested that religions should be seen as different mountains with many similar paths. From this simile, and from the Church’s founding message, it follows that the conversation between the church and the religions must be one of mission. In the course of the article Jenson discusses the relationship between reason and revelation, explains the relevance of the incarnation, and reflects upon the prospects and difficulties of Christian conversation with Islam.
Jean Calvin (1509-1564) – i 500-året for hans fødsel
Authors: Jørgensen Ninna
Published: February 2019

This article offers an introduction to Calvin’s life and thought in the 500th anniversary of his birth. Attention is called to his self-understandingin the Commentary to the Psalms, which he refers to as an “anatomy of the soul”, well suited for prayer – a consideration, which was central in his theological outlook. Calvin’s Humanist background and engagement in the Reform movement, his exile and battles against enemies inside and outside the congregation are described, and a survey of his theology given along the lines of Institutio. This includes the “double recognition” of God as Maker and as Saviour, providence being an essential part of the first, predestination of the second. The life of the Christian is unfolded both as an individual and as a member of a congregation, which praises God in music. Finally the question of secular authority is discussed.
Jeg tror for at elske
Authors: Horneman-Thielcke Thomas Emil
Published: February 2019

The purpose of this article, “I believe in order to love: Negative theology in the writings of St. John of the Cross”, is threefold. First we see how St. John uses classical negative theology as the basis of his spiritual programme. This is of especial interest because John manages to transform the theoretical method of apophatic discourse into a practical spiritual process. In this spiritual programme, discourse about God results in the soul’s refusal of the entire creation in an attempt to move closer to God through faith. This is particularly obvious in his metaphorical expression “the dark night”, which can be best interpreted in the light of Christ's passion, death and resurrection. The second purpose of this article is exactly to show how St. John uses the agony and pain of Christ as a model for the soul’s suffering in “the dark night”. Thirdly the aim is to put St. John’s negative theology in a contemporary and postmodern theological discourse and, in the light of this study, see if a new theological reading and understanding of it is possible.
Eskatologiens udvikling hos den historiske Jesus
Authors: Theissen Gerd
Published: February 2019

This article reviews Per Bilde’s Den historiske Jesus. Three theses of Bilde are discussed: (1) The “sign prophets” in the first century C.E. are the nearest analogies to Jesus, but we should make a difference between those before the Caligula-crisis, who have been interested in cult and conversion, and those after this crisis. (2) Jesus had a messianic consciousness, but participated in a mentality that says: Nobody can legitimately give oneself a new status he can only receive it from a superior. (3) There is a development from proclaiming God’s mercy to announcing God’s judgement, but the interpretation of Jesus’ death as atoning death seems to be a retrospective interpretation after Easter. We may therefore say: The main three theses are basically justified but theyshould be modified a little bit.
Meningen der gik tabt
Authors: Nielsen Hansen Robert Bonde
Published: February 2019

Until a couple of decades ago, few scholars of the liturgy of the early church doubted that the Eucharistic and Baptismal rites of the early church could be traced back to the institution of these rites by Jesus Christ, or the Apostles in Jerusalem around the year 30. This view has in later years been challenged, and it is today commonly held that we are unable to reconstruct a primordial rite dating back to Jesus or the Apostles. Supposedly, we are also unable to find common elements in the earliest Christian rites, which appear to be solely regional phenomena. Even though this latter view may to a large extent be true, this article argues that the semantics of minimalism used to describe the liturgy should be supplemented with an acknowledgement of commonly shared themes in the material. Following this line of inquiry, I suggest that whereas one cannot trace the Eucharistic and Baptismal rites of the 2nd century back to Jesus, they nonetheless have a number of elements in common, namely eschatological and sacrificial themes.
En syrisk kilde til den ældste kristne nadverforståelse – en analyse af Addai og Maris Nadverbøn
Authors: Munkholt Maria
Published: February 2019

The Anaphora of Addai and Mari (A&M) is an ancient Syriac Eucharistic prayer. This article provides a Danish translation of the prayer and presents indications that A&M contains one of the oldest Eucharistic traditions that we know of. It is argued that A&M presents an understanding of the divine presence in the Eucharist that differs from traditional Western and Hellenistic views, and that A&M seems to be influenced by Jewish prayer forms. The article utilises A&M to discuss and broaden commonly held theories about the earliest understandingand development of the Eucharistic ritual.
Reformation og deformation
Authors: Widmann Peter
Published: February 2019

The aim of the Reformation movement was to overcome the destructive developments of the Western Catholic Church, not to establish a different Church or independent communities. The Reformers, however, were from the beginning confronted with the charge of deforming rather than reforming the Church, and this led to the split of Western Christianity and the emergence of Protestantism. The development of Protestantism was driven by different attempts to renew Christianity but the outcome thereof was often criticised as a destruction of the entire Christian tradition. The Protestant theology of the 20th century in the wake of Karl Barth regarded itself as opposed to two deformations, one represented by Roman Catholicism, another by “neo-protestantism” respectively. This makes it clear that the threat of Christianity’sdeformation cannot be overcome by turning back to something original but demands a quest for new Christian realizations.
Mod Gud hjælper kun Gud
Authors: Nielsen Kjeld Slot
Published: February 2019

Luther’s notion of deus absconditus in relation to deus revelatus has played a central role among Danish theologians such as Jakob Knudsen, K.E. Løgstrup, Ole Jensen and Jakob Wolf. But this emphasis on the hidden God raises difficulties in relation to God’s unity in general, and to the problem of God’s responsibility for evil in particular After dicussing two lines of Wolf’s interpretation of Løgstrup and a Trinitarian interpretation of Martin Wendte, a theological proposal is offered that integrates deus absconditus into God’s triune being, so that God’s responsibility for evil is maintained without threatening divine integrity.
Abraham, høflighedens ridder
Authors: Jensen Hans Jørgen Lundager
Published: February 2019

In the Hebrew Bible, the do-ut-des-relationship, so often used to describe the exchange between the divine and the human realms, designates the exchange between human partners. Professional exchange, by contrast, has a problematic status in the Hebrew Bible with its wellknown negative views on trade, traders, and their wealth. Yet in this article, “Abraham, knight of courtesy”, I argue that Abraham in Genesis is presented as a person of great wealth with frequent contacts across social and ethnical borders and with great skills for negotiations. His commitment to family and family religion does not rule out frequent contacts with persons from other cultures and religions. Some of the Abraham narratives may therefore have been written also as a tacit critique of more dominating, and more exclusive, theological currents in the Hebrew Bible.
Samtidsteologiens fokus og horisont
Authors: Gregersen Niels Henrik
Published: February 2019

In this response to Asle Eikrem’s discussion of my program for “Systematic Theology as Contemporary Theology” (DTT 2008, 290-310), I lay out my principled reasons for maintaining the distinction between Theology1, 2 and 3. While I find Eikrem’s proposals concerning the relation between the semantics and the pragmatics in Theology1 revealing, I argue that systematic theology should not be understood as a purely theoretical metaphysics.
Paulus og neurobiologien
Authors: Engberg-Pedersen Troels
Published: February 2019

This review discussion of Colleen Shantz, Paul in Ecstasy etc. describes the main argument of the book, criticizes various details of its argumentation and concludes with a general assessment, which basically applauds the focus on ‘religious experience’ and the attempt to bring in both contemporary neuroscience and social anthropology to elucidate Paul and Pauline Christianity, but also queries whether these modern disciplines are at present sufficiently precise for it to be possible to draw any firm conclusions regarding the historical material.
Et grundtvigiansk fakultet
Authors: Elstad Hallgeir
Published: February 2019

The aim of this article is to shed light on the founding phase of the history of The Faculty of Theology in Christiania (Oslo). Together with the University of Oslo the Faculty celebrates its 200 years anniversary in 2011. The University was the first cultural institution in Norway and played a decisive role in the nation building. The history of the Faculty of Theology is tightly interwoven with that of the University. The initial phase of the Faculty’s history may be characterized ‘Grundtvigian’. Despite of the break with Denmark in 1814, the Danish cultural influences were still strong.
Er luthersk politisk teologi valgbeslægtet med liberalisme og republikanisme?
Authors: Assel Heinrich
Published: February 2019

Svend Andersen’s book Macht aus Liebe (Love in Power) is a vital contribution to the discussion about the affiliation of various political theologies to liberalism. The book contains of substantial, refreshingly provocative reconstruction of the political ethics in Luther and Danish Luthernism in the spirit of political liberalism from Kant to Rawls and Habermas’ republicanism; and is a genuine Danish contribution to an European comparative analyses of political confessional cultures.
