Abstract:
The monastery of St. John the Baptist on the Mount Menoikeion in the vicinity of Serrai was founded in around 1275. It enjoyed considerable favour of the Queen Simonis and since 1332 its patron was John Kantakouzenos. After the Serbian conquest of eastern Macedonia, the monastery prospered owing to the care of Stephen Dušan. The ties between the Serbian ruler and the monastic community are testified by the Greek documents of Dušan’s chancery. There are nine preserved prostagmata and chrysobulls of the Serbian King and Tsar from the period of 1345–1355. The analysis of their data, along with the use of other sources, will provide a basis for the attempted sketch of relations between Stephen Dušan and the influential Greek spiritual institution in southeast Macedonia.

Abstract:
English narrative alabaster reliefs depicting the public life and martyrdom of John the Baptist are a fascinating yet understudied corpus. The starting point of this essay and its place of return is a series of three fifteenth-century panels depicting Saint John the Baptist Before Herod Antipas, The Burial of Saint John the Baptist, and The Burning of Saint John the Baptist’s Bones and the Scattering of his Ashes. Once possibly part of an altarpiece made for export, the reliefs are now in The Victoria and Albert Museum. Drawing on a broad range of literary, liturgical, homiletic, folkloric, and artistic sources, the essay examines the multifaceted nature of late medieval devotion to John the Baptist, focusing in particular on the saint’s connection to women, fertility, and healing, and on the festal, celebratory dimensions of his cult. The essay concludes by offering a reading of the V&A reliefs in light of the popular beliefs and customs that would have informed the English alabaster carvers’ lived experience and speculates on the roles of lived experience and memory in the creation and reception of images.

Abstract:
Sv. Ivan Krstitelj, prethodnik i krstitelj Isusov, iznimno se štuje u kršćanstvu. Ivan Krstitelj rodio se pola godine prije Isusa. U smislu folklornih običaja u Hrvata najbogatiji su Badnjak, blagdan sv. Jurja (23. travnja) i blagdan sv. Ivana Krstitelja (24. lipnja). U hrvatskoj tradicijskoj baštini, kao i u tradicijskoj baštini drugih naroda u Europi i svijetu, uz blagdan sv. Ivana Krstitelja vezuju se razni običaji, ophodi, divinacije, vjerovanja, hodočašća, procesije, svete mise, pučka veselja, sajmovi, ivanjske pjesme, molitve. U Hrvata i uopće u Europi običaj je paljenja ivanjskih vatri u sumrak uoči blagdana sv. Ivana Krstitelja. Stari je običaj da se mladić i djevojka uzmu za ruke i preskaču vatru ivanjskoga krijesa, a vatru mladež preskače i pojedinačno. Taj običaj ima lustrativnu i apotropejsku funkciju. Pored krjesova, u hrvatskoj tradicijskoj baštini u ivanjske vatre spadaju i bakljari, mašalanje, lilanje. Prastaro je vjerovanje da vještice, more i druga demonska bića neće moći djelovati dokle god se vidi ivanjskih vatra i dokle god im se dim proširi. Blagdan sv. Ivana Krstitelja prije izlaska sunca prate i ophodi krijesovalja (krisnica, ladarica), hodanje po pepelu od ivanjskoga krijesa, umivanje i kupanje na vrelima, u rijekama i moru. Nekoć su se kuće, dvorišta, ulazna vrata (kapije) kitili za blagdan sv. Ivana Krstitelja, a žene i djevojke u zoru iznosile su odjeću i tkanine da ih ivanjske zrake obasjaju i zaštite od moljaca. Uz blagdan sv. Ivana Krstitelja vezuju se ljubavne divinacije kao i divinacije o tome tko će od ukućana prvi umrijeti. U čast sv. Ivanu vjernici poste, zavjetuju se i na blagdan mnogi bosonogi hodočaste svetištima posvećenima sv. Ivanu te na koljenima obilaze oko svetišta ili oko kipa sv. Ivana Krstitelja moleći za izlječenje svojih tjelesnih i duševnih boli. Nakon procesije i svete mise tradicionalno se organiziraju pučka veselja. Narod sv. Ivanu Krstitelju pjeva usmene lirske pjesme i upućuje molitve.

Abstract:
AbstractThe corporate identity of the Scottish royal burgh of Perth was in the Middle Ages tied closely to its patron saint, John the Baptist. After the reformation of 1559-60 had abolished all veneration of saints, this identification did not disappear. The town was still called Sanctjhonstoun, the festivals of the Baptist continued to serve as calendar dates, and the St. John's bell continued to call parishioners to the kirk. Even more striking, images of the Baptist survived — on the bells, in the hammermen's silver marks, and in the town seal. Protestant usage would eventually shift the meanings associated with the Baptist, but the saint would never disappear entirely from the town's constructed identity.

Abstract:
This essay focuses on the figure of John the Baptist in prison and the question he sent his disciples to ask Christ: was he ‘the one who is to come’ (Matthew 11: 2–3)? Having observed how the Fathers strove to distance John from the perils of doubt in their readings of this passage, it traces the way their arguments were picked up by twelfth- and thirteenth-century biblical exegetes and then by authors of anti-heretical dispute texts in urban Italy, where the Baptist was a popular patron saint. So as to give force to their own counter-arguments, learned polemicists, clerical and lay, made much of heretics’ hostility to John, powerfully ventriloquizing a doubting, sceptical standpoint. One counter-argument was to assign any doubts to John's disciples, for whose benefit he therefore sent to ask for confirmation of the means of Christ's return, neatly moving doubt from questions of faith to epistemology. Such ideas may have seeped beyond the bounds of a university-trained elite, as is perhaps visible in a fourteenth-century fresco representing John in prison engaging with anxious disciples. But place, audience and genre determined where doubt was energetically debated and where it was more usually avoided, as in sermons for the laity on the feast of a popular saint.

Abstract:
For the past ten years I have conducted research in the town of Chuao (Aragua State), an area settled in the 16th Century, site of the oldest and most renowned cocoa plantation of Venezuela. By the mid-17th century, the owner turned control of the enterprise over to the Roman Catholic Church, which administered it through the Inter-diocesan Seminary until 1827, at which time, by direct order of Simon Bolivar, the plantation became the property of the University of Caracas (today the Universidad Central de Venezuela) until 1883. From then it came under the direct control of the State.;The inhabitants are descended from African slave populations brought in by Spanish colonists; and the area can only be reached by sea. The relative isolation of Chuao makes it a special place in which one can study the evolution of artistic and rituals forms. Chuao appears to be one of the few African communities in modem Venezuela which has actively maintained links with its past. The Chuao tradition has evolved in the local integration of official (Spanish Catholicism) and popular (slave African elements). This may well exemplify the evolution of artistical ritual forms in other coastal communities of north-central Venezuela from the time of Spanish Colonialism.;The thesis is centred around the principal festivities of the community of Chuao: Corpus Christi (featuring "devil" masquerade) and the festive cycle of Saint John the Baptist (featuring images of the Saint and his mistress). Both festivities are organized by societies, the Corpus Christi society led by men and the Saint John society, by women. These societies are thus responsible for all the different aspects of the celebrations, such as the preparation for the festival, rehearsals, stages of the festivities, masks, costumes, images, dances, music, songs, speeches and poems.;These festivities are placed within the historical background of the community, and plantation of Chuao including the possible origin of the Africans arrived in Spanish America during the period of the slave trade. Moreover, the importance of the religious tradition of Chuao for an understanding of these festivities is provided by the Doctrine of Maria Tecla.

Full text
Abstract:
"I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John" (Luke 7:28). Thus the author of Luke-Acts expresses his basic assessment of John the Baptist. The present study aims to understand the role of John the Baptist as he is portrayed in Luke-Acts through a reading that combines social description and narrative-theological analysis in order to gain hermeneutical access to the subject of our investigation. This study seeks to achieve this aim in two ways. In the first instance there is an attempt (through recourse to a combination of the stated critical methodologies) to provide a reading of Luke-Acts that interfaces social description and narrative-theological analysis in order to make possible a rhetorical engagement with the text in a way that provides hermeneutical access to John the Baptist as he is portrayed in Luke-Acts. In his portrayal of John the Baptist as a prophet and witness who plays a unique role in the history of salvation, the author of Luke-Acts weaves a spell over his readers that draws them into his narrative world and into his particular theological perspective. In the second instance, this study also aims to show how Luke-Acts preserves a unique dynamic of John the Baptist which has rather been buried in the other Gospel traditions. Through this dynamic, Luke seeks to transmit his own ideal of the authentic prophet and witness in such a way that his audience may be moved to emulate John's example with conviction and imagination both in living out their Christian ideal as well as in proclaiming the good news.

Ziel der Forschungsarbeitet ist es, zu zeigen, dass die johanneische Weinstockrede das alttestamentlich und frühjüdisch geprägte Weinstockmotiv aufgreift und weiter entfaltet. So finden sich in Joh 15:1-8 die Beziehungsebene zwischen Gott und seinen Nachfolgern, die ethische Konnotation, der Gerichtsgedanke, der messianisch-eschatologische Aspekt und der Gedanke von Fruchtbarkeit und Fülle wieder. Es wird deutlich, dass sich in Jesus erfüllt hat, worauf die alttestamentlichen und frühjüdischen Schriften durch die Verwendung des Weinstockmotivs abgezielt haben: Er ist der angekündigte Messias, dessen Kommen Fülle mit sich bringt. Dies hat sich bereits durch Jesu erstes Zeichen, die Verwandlung von Wasser zu Wein (Joh 2:1-11), angedeutet. Neu ist der Gedanke, dass Jesus seine Nachfolger in sein Wirken mit einbezieht. Sie partizipieren an seiner messianischen Fülle und produzieren den Überfluss in Abhängigkeit von Jesus auch selbst mit. Voraussetzung dafür ist, dass die Jünger ihre enge Beziehung zu Jesus durch Gebet und das Einhalten seines Wortes aufrechterhalten und sich an seinem Vorbild orientieren.
The purpose of this thesis is to show that the Johannine vine speech takes up and further develops the vine motif of the Old Testament and early Jewish history. In John 15:1-8 we find emphasis on the relationship between God and his disciples, the ethical connotation, the warning of judgement, the messianic-eschatological aspect and the concepts of fruitfulness and fullness. I will show in this thesis, that the the Old Testament and early Jewish writings that use the vine motif are fulfilled in Jesus Christ: He is the announced Messiah, whose coming will bring fullness. This is already implied in Jesus’s first miracle, turning water into wine (John 2:1-11). What is new is that Jesus includes his disciples in his ministry. They participate in his messianic abundance and in dependence on Jesus they themselves produce abundance. The prerequisite for this abundant fruitfulness is a close relationship with Jesus through prayer, abiding in his word, and following his example.

Abstract:
Through a critical-functional, rather than literal, reading of the text of Revelation, this dissertation hypothesises a move beyond the paralysing constant reduction of hermeneutic meaning to two conventional poles when discussing hope – the early Christian movement’s hope through reversal, and contemporary nihilism. In order to do so in a responsible manner, it is necessary to study other research done on the topics of eschatology and hope – especially as seen in the book of Revelation. For this reason, the most popular and representative scholars of the Book of Revelation are studied. This overall look at current scholarships' views regarding the Apocalypse will help detect any possible missing elements in our approach to Revelation. But no study of this topic can be considered near complete if other disciplines are not involved; in this case especially when moving on to a critical-functional reading of Revelation. This thesis thus features an exploratory study of the functioning of ritual and hope within the human psyche; from archaeological to psychological perspectives. This emphasises the importance of, and leads into, the possibilities of a functional reading of the Book of Revelation. All of the above work leads to a re-evaluation of the success of hope as metanarrative for today. The suggestion is that Christian hope is not imaginary, but is irreducibly imaginative. For “reality is never just the world as it exists; it is the world as it is experienced through the lenses of social perception” (Barr 2010:636).

Abstract:
There are well-known stories about the execution of St. John the Baptist, which are based on the text of the Gospel, the iconographic tradition, and also apocryphal ones, which are based on the author’s interpretations of folk legends. In the description of the prophet Esenin used the simultaneous principle of icons depicting a Saint holding his own head. In the works of Klyuev the icons of John the Baptist are associative. Gumilev and Andreev turned to the Orthodox characterization of the actors in the gospel story. Religious correctness is not violated in the simultaneous lyrics of Block, who projected the image of John’s severed head on his existential experiences. Flaubert generally followed the tradition. In Mallarme’s poem “Herodias” there is no direct indication of the role of Herodias in the execution of the Baptist, but there is an opposition of their worldviews. Marienhof also used the poetics of reticence. In the world literature there are examples of blurring the boundaries of good and evil, thinning moral criteria. If John is always an uncompromising preacher and prophet, then the psychological portraits of Herodias, Salome and Herod become more complicated. Deviation from the Biblical axiology is the basis of the works of Heine, Wilde, Remizov. The article focuses on the sources of the apocryphal interpretation of the circumstances of John’s death, indicates the role of the motive of Eros in the modernization of the plot, and identifi es the symbolic meanings of the characters. The novelty of the research lies in the appeal to a quiet large range of texts.
