Članak donosi istraživanje benediktinskoga Pravila pod vidom svetopisamskih tekstova. Matejevo evanđelje sačinjava okosnicu Pravila. Najviše tekstova pojavljuje se iz 5 - 7 poglavlja. Ova su ...poglavlja poznata kao Isusov “Govor na gori” ili “Magna charta” Novoga Zavjeta. Tekstovi iz spomenutih poglavlja određuju status Isusovih učenika u Zajednici. Pravilo sačinjava i određenu sintezu biblijske antropologije potkrepljujući svoja načela evanđeoskim direktnim i indirektnim navodima. To je dokaz želji Utemeljitelja da se monaški duhovni život zasniva isključivo na Isusovim riječima. Istraživanje Pravila pod vidim evanđeoskih tekstova pokazalo se velikim doprinosom i benediktinskoj zajednici.
The article presents a research of the Benedictine Rule under the light of biblical texts. The Gospel of Matthew forms the backbone of the Rule. Most texts come from 5 - 7 chapters. These chapters are known as Jesus' "Speech on the Mount" or the "Magna Charta" of the New Testament. The texts from the mentioned chapters determine the status of Jesus' disciples in the Congregation. The Rule also constitutes a certain synthesis of biblical anthropology, supporting its principles with direct and indirect references from the Gospel. This is proof of the Founder's desire that monastic spiritual life should be based exclusively on the words of Jesus. The research of the Rule under the light of the Gospel texts proved to be a great contribution to the Benedictine community as well.

Ovo se istraživanje pokrenulo (ne)prilikom rata u Ukrajini. Nakana autora nije bila govoriti o ratu u biblijskoj dimenziji tog pojma, nego želja za ukazanjem različitosti između mira koji svijet ne ...može dati na isti način na koji ga Bog daje. Jer sam Bog je mir. Ljudska nastojanja oko mira samo su prividna. Zato ovaj članak pokušava približiti pojam mira u Ivanovoj perspektivi te ukazati na njegov sadržaj. U ovom se članku istražuje također mogućnost primjenjivanja evanđeoskog teksta na svakodnevnicu. Isus je Mir i samo on može donijeti onaj dugotrajni mir. Mir koji pruža Mesija svojoj Crkvi nepresušan je lijek za zdravlje duše i tijela. On pobjeđuje svaki strah i tugu. Sve su to iskusili prvi učenici, a s njima i Crkva.
This study began during the war in Ukraine. The authors’ intention was not to discuss war in the biblical dimension of this term, but rather to show the difference between the peace that the world cannot give and the peace that God gives. Because God himself is peace. Human efforts to achieve peace are merely ostensible. Therefore, this article attempts to approach the concept of peace from John’s Gospel perspective and to demonstrate its content. This article should be an encouragement to many who are searching for both peace within and outside of themselves. Jesus is peace and only he can bring this lasting peace. The peace that the Messiah offers to His Church is an inexhaustible remedy for the health of the body and the soul.
Every family seeks encouragement for their spiritual and sociological growth. This article brings research among 30 members of the Agnus Dei family community. We explored the impact of the biblical ...text, in particular, the Gospel of Mark on married couples who encounter daily difficulties in raising children, but also in the personal upbringing of adults. The researcher of this article was inspired by the characters of the holy family: Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Jesus ’upbringing in Nazareth and the boy’s upbringing enabled his parents’ personal spiritual formation. That part makes up the first part of the paper. It is followed by a survey among members of the Agnus Dei family community. Research has shown that there is a great interest in God’s word. Throughout the year, attendees had the opportunity to listen to commentaries on the Gospel of Mark. In addition to certain exercises, they applied instructions to daily life. The results showed that their family community was re-formed by the word of God. They felt an improvement in interpersonal relationships in the family but also in the community. The Nazareth school actually became a stimulus for all participants in catechesis. Biblical methods in raising a family indicate positive results.
U radu se istražuju razlozi zbog kojih u Hrvatskoj nakon demokratskih promjena, unatoč mnogim aktivnostima udruga civilnoga društva i same Crkve, nema neradne nedjelje za one djelatnosti koje nisu ...nužne za održavanje redovitoga života društva i države. Analizom biblijskih tekstova koji govore o »šabatu« ili o sedmom danu te uspoređivanjem iskustva izlaska izraelskoga naroda iz egipatskoga sužanjstva, jer Bog zahtijeva prinošenje žrtve u slobodi, s naporima današnjih vjernika u Hrvatskoj da nedjelju proslave neradno i u slobodi pokazuje se iz vjerničke perspektive razlika između biblijske matrice i sadašnjih neuspješnih pokušaja. Naime u Bibliji je jasan naglasak na pravu i dužnosti vjernika da prvotno iskažu slavu Bogu, iz čega proizlazi sloboda i odmor, dok se u današnjim pokušajima više naglašava, ne ispuštajući prethodno, pravo na odmor, obiteljsko zajedništvo i sl.
The paper investigates reasons why after the democratic changes in Croatia, despite many activities of civic organizations and the Church itself, there is no work-free Sunday for those professions that are not indispensable for maintaining the regular life of society and the state. The difference between the biblical stencil and current failed attempts is shown from the perspective of believers, through the analysis of biblical texts that speak of the »Sabbath« or the seventh day, and the comparison between the experience of the Israeli people coming out of Egyptian captivity, because God demands offering sacrifice in freedom, and the ef-forts of believers in Croatia today to celebrate Sunday work-free and in freedom. Namely, in the Bible, there is a clear emphasis on the right and duty of believers to first give glory to God, which then allows freedom and rest, while today’s attempts, without omitting the former, emphasize the right to rest, family togetherness and the like.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je istraživanje uloge religioznosti u psihološkoj dobrobiti mladih. U tu svrhu povedeno je istraživanje na mladima prosječne dobi 20,74 godina (N=129). Primijenjeni su ...sljedeći mjerni instrumenti: Skala zadovoljstva životom, Skala smisla života, Kratka ljestvica religioznosti i Ljestvica slaganja s temeljnim načelima Biblije i Katoličke crkve. Rezultati provedenog istraživanja vode zaključku da je većina mladih religiozna, odnosno da se slaže s temeljnim biblijskim načelima nauka Katoličke crkve. Rezultati testiranja razlike u zadovoljstvu životom s obzirom na stupanj slaganja s temeljnim načelima Biblije i Katoličke crkve pokazuju da su mladi koji se više slažu s tim načelima zadovoljniji životom. Nadalje, zadovoljstvo životom pozitivno je povezano sa procjenom smisla života, religioznošću i slaganjem s temeljnim načelima Katoličke crkve. Rezultati regresijske analize pokazuju da su smisao života i slaganje s temeljnim načelima Biblije i Katoličke crkve značajni prediktori zadovoljstva životom.
The aim of this research study was to investigate the role of religiosity in the psychological well-being of young people. For that purpose, a research study was conducted among young people of the average age of 20.74 (N=129). The following measurement instruments were applied: Life Satisfaction Scale, Purpose in life Scale, Short Religiosity Scale, and the Scale of Agreement with the Basic Principles of the Bible and the Catholic Church. The results of the conducted study lead to the conclusion that the majority of young people are religious, i.e. that they agree with the basic biblical principles of the teachings of the Catholic Church. The results of the testing with regard to the difference in life satisfaction with reference to the level of agreement with the basic principles of the Bible and the Catholic Church indicate that the young people who agree with those principles to a greater extent are more satisfied with their life. Furthermore, life satisfaction has a positive correlation with the estimation of the purpose in life, religiosity, and the agreement with the basic principles of the Catholic Church. The results of the regression analysis indicate that the purpose in life and the agreement with the basic principles of the Bible and the Catholic Church are significant predictors of life satisfaction.
The article discusses the symbolism of the rural and suburban landscape of the Holy Land in the New Testament. Based on the results of previous geographical and theological (exegetical) research ...of certain elements of the natural and cultural landscape, and studies of biblical texts and descriptions of landscape motifs in areas where Jesus Christ lived and worked, the article attempts to point out the symbolism that enriches mere facts about the geographical reality of the Holy Land. It has been determined that the most important natural-geographical forms and phenomena are clearly recognized in the rural and suburban landscape of the Holy Land, while the identity of the Jewish community formed by different human activities and ways of life is imprinted in the cultural landscape, which includes a related web of multiple dualities: the real and the imaginary, the natural and the supernatural, and the material and the spiritual.
Biblija je temelj kulture i književnosti. Iako se čini pomalo zanemarenom u sadašnjosti ipak nije prestala žariti i odsijevati nadahnutom riječju te nije prestala biti uzorom književnih pravaca. ...Evanđelje je samo po sebi književna vrsta, a njegov autor rabi stilske figure kao što je na primjer metafora. Uloga evanđelista kao autora također je važna. Pomoću povijesno-kritičke metode otkriva se u odlomku Mk 2,18−20 izuzetnost metafore
zaručnik
,
zaručnica
i
svadba
(odnosno svatovi). Tri metafore stvaraju logičnu cjelinu. Pomoću te stilske figure čitatelj može prihvatiti Isusovu pouku u kojoj skriva svoj identitet. Polemika je samo izraz ili pak razlog za korištenje metafore koja je tipičnim izrazom židovskog poučavanja. Korištena metafora također postaje „mostom“ koji spaja prošlost sa sadašnjošću i time nadopunjava ograničenost povijesno-kritičke metode. Isus nije samo izrekao istraživane retke u doslovnom smislu. U njima se skriva i duhovni smisao koji upućuje na Kristovo spasenjsko poslanje.
The Bible is the foundation of culture and literature. Even though it seems somewhat neglected today, it still emanates and shines with inspirational words and continues to be a model for literary movements. The Gospel is a literary genre in itself, and its author uses stylistic devices, such as the metaphor. The role of the evangelists as authors is also important. Using the historical-critical method, the passage Mk 2: 18-20 reveals the exceptional nature of the metaphor
fiancé
,
fiancée
, and
wedding
(i.e. wedding guests). The three metaphors make up a logical unit. With the help of that stylistic device, the reader can accept Jesus' teaching in which he conceals his identity. A polemic is just an expression or a reason for using a metaphor, which is a common expression in Jewish teachings. The metaphor that is used also becomes a “bridge” connecting the past with the present and thereby complements the limitations of the historical-critical method. Jesus not only spoke the investigated lines in the literal sense. They also contain a hidden spiritual meaning that indicates Christ’s mission of salvation.
Pojam »novog rođenja« u Iv 3,5 često se rabi u biblijskoj teologiji i predmet je egzegetsko- hermeneutičkih istraživanja. U kontekstu Isusove otvorene antropologije »novo rođenje odozgor« postaje još ...više očitijim znakom nadnaravne Božje intervencije u životu ne samo Nikodema nego i svakog čovjeka. U susretu Isusa i Nikodema Isus objašnjava Nikodemu – čovjeku i farizeju – put spasenja koji zahtijeva njegovu vjeru. Mnogi interpretatori tog odlomka vide u djelovanju Duha Svetoga i u »rađanju iz vode « sakrament krštenja. Iako evanđelist rabi tehniku nesporazuma i prekida dijaloške komunikacije unutar kompozicije, ipak Isus s ljubavlju pristupa predstavniku religijskih oponenata i navješćuje mu put k Božjem kraljevstvu u koje se ulazi na nov način – po milosti odozgor.

Many people try to historically dispute the person of Jesus of Nazareth. The aim of this paper is to find contrary claims in the Scriptures to prove that Jesus is the eternal Teacher. This implies ...that Jesus’ mission has not come to end with his mission on Earth. In the first part of the paper, we will explain the Old and New Testaments’ meanings of a teacher. This will be followed with stating the differences between Jesus’ teaching and the teaching of the scribes and Pharisees. The aim of this is to prove the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth. In the second part of the paper, we will deal with the consideration of truth and connect the concepts of authenticity and truth. The eternal teacher of the Truth with his teaching frees those who accept him and encourages them to change their hearts and lives. His teaching transcends time and space boundaries. In comparison to the teachers of this world, Jesus is an authentic teacher who lives all that he teaches as example for his disciples of his communion with his Father. The teaching of Jesus is different from the Jewish teaching, as well as from any other teaching. Jesus as teacher of teachers provides an example of learning, especially in situations of temptation. As a teacher, Jesus has a unique “educational plan” - the doctrine of God’s kingdom and His teaching methods have a strong effect on students.
