Call for papers: “Greek Philosophy and Hellenization in the Bible and Christian Theology”, ed. Damian Mrugalski OP, “Verbum Vitae” 3 (2021). (original) (raw)

The problem of Hellenization is revived in contemporary theological debate and its evaluation may vary. The editors of the Verbum Vitae invite you to take part in such a debate. The articles we are waiting for may concern very detailed issues, concerning the analysis of Greek philosophical concepts, language, rhetoric and literary genres present in the Old and New Testaments and in early Christian theology, as well as more general topics concerning culture, intellectual climate, or certain educational, political and religious institutions formed in the Hellenistic era. We also invite authors of articles to examine the interaction and circulation of ideas and concepts present in Greco-Roman religion and philosophy as well as those used by authors of the Bible books and Christian theologians. Polemics with contemporary researchers who positively or negatively evaluate the influence of Hellenization on the development of Jewish and Christian theology are also welcome. The subject matter of the volume is therefore very wide, but it should be remembered that the respective articles should in some way be related to one of the three thematic sections of which each volume of the Verbum Vitae journal consists: 1. The Old Testament, 2. The New Testament, 3. The Fathers of the Church and Theology. The Verbum Vitae journal is currently one of the three highest-scoring theological journals in Poland. In a new evaluation by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland (09.02.2021), our journal received 100 points. Moreover, the Verbum Vitae journal is present in SCOPUS, ATLA and EBSCO databases. The presence in the last two databases, in full text form, makes every text published in our journal available in PDF format in every university library in the world. In this way, the Verbum Vitae is an effective place to participate in the international academic debate.
