You must love your neighbour as well as your enemy: Love in Luke 6:27–38 and 10:25–37. The background of this study is found in the common perception that love as concept is linked to Jesus as basic ethical commandment and identity marker of Christians. This view has been challenged lately, and will be reconsidered in light of Luke. The question addressed as objective of this article is whether the Lukan Jesus may be called the ‘Jesus of love’, as Jesus refers only twice (Lk 6:27–38 and 10:25–37) to intense personal love (ἀγαπάω – akin to love typical of family or friends). Following established exegetical approaches, all the uses in Luke of the word groups ἀγαπάω/ἀγάπη and φιλέω/φίλος were analysed, illustrating the diverse ways in which these words are used by Luke. The two contexts referring to intense love were analysed in more detail and it was shown that love functions as the overarching term for other terms referring to concepts such as mercy, compassion, good deeds, non-retaliation and other concepts linked to the underdogs, enemies, the poor, oppressed or women in Luke. The result of the investigation was that, although the Lukan Jesus does not use the term ἀγαπάω frequently, the idea of love as overarching term is indirectly attested through the use of these other terms describing compassion, respect, assistance, mercy, et cetera. In this sense, the Lukan Jesus is the ‘Jesus of love’. Contribution: The contribution to research lies in the detailed description of the semantics of love in Luke and showing that Jesus’ ministry might, with good reason, be described as a ministry of love.

Sowohl die Afrikanische Traditionelle Religion als auch das johanneische Christentum sind gut organisierte Systeme, in denen iedes Element einen funktionellen Ort hat. Die besonderen Charakteristika jeder dieser beiden Religionen werden beschrieben und systematisch miteinander verglichen. Sowohl Unterschiede als auch Ähnlichkeiten werden berücksichtigt. Die Lektüre von 1Joh in einer traditionellen afrikanischen Gesellschaft umfasst einen dialektischen Prozess, in dessen Verlauf auf der Basis der beiden Religionen gemeinsamen Merkmale ein allmählicher "Eintritt" erfolgt. Diese gemeinsamen Merkmale werden hervorgehoben und besprochen. An einem bestimmten Punkt werden jedoch die Unterschiede entscheidend, und dann wird eine besondere Akzeptierung notwendig, die als Bekehrung bezeichnet werden kann. Dieser gesamte Prozess wird unter Verwendung von Beispielen wie etwa Geister/Geist, Ahnen/Jesus etc. diskutiert.

No annotated bibliography on the research on Johannine literature in Africa exists. This means that no proper overview of Johannine research in Africa is available. This article (as part 2 of a broader analysis) fills that lacunae by presenting a comprehensive bibliography of research done on John in Africa (combined with a proper analysis in part 1). It classifies the available research according to major topics and presents the publications in chronological order under each topic. Johannese navorsing in Afrika, deel 2: ’n Geannoteerde bibliografie. Daar bestaan geen geannoteerde bibliografie van die Johanneïese navorsing in Afrika niewat beteken dat Johannese navorsers geen behoorlike oorsig met betrekking tot bestaande navorsing het nie. Hierdie artikel (as die tweede aflewering van ’n meer omvattende analise) wil daardie leemte vul deur ’n omvattende bibliografie van die Johannese navorsing in Afrika aan te bied (gekombineer met ’n deeglike analise in deel 1). Die navorsing word volgens hooftemas geklassifiseer en chronologies onder elke tema aangebied.

This article is the first of two parts that contribute to the history of African biblical research. Africa’s theological ‘awakening’, following the colonial period, includes the discipline of New Testament studies. In this article the contributions of theologians working in Africa on the field of Johannine studies are surveyed and evaluated. In certain areas theologians from Africa performed very well, whilst other areas should receive more attention. Johannese navorsing in Afrika, deel 1: ’n Analitiese oorsig. Hierdie artikel is die eerste van twee, wat saam ’n bydrae tot die geskiedenis van Bybelnavorsing in Afrika wil lewer. Afrika se teologiese bewuswording wat op die koloniale periode volg, sluit die dissipline van Nuwe-Testamentiese navorsing in. In hierdie artikel word die bydrae van teoloë wat in Afrika werk, ondersoek en ge-evalueer. In sekere areas het die teoloë uit Afrika besonder goed gevaar, maar ander areas behoort meer aandag te geniet.

El artículo hace un recorrido por las biografías y los textos de algunos filósofos griegos, analizando la armonía pitagórica, las anécdotas de la vida de Tales, la singular personalidad de Jenófanes, el sentido festivo de la vida de Demócrito y la ironía socrática, para mostrar cómo la filosofía desde su nacimiento fue entendida, no como una reflexión abstracta y alejada de la realidad, sino como una búsqueda gozosa de la excelencia en la vida humana.

The revision of the medical device regulation (MDR) legislation by the European Union and supplementations by the member states has been implemented for good reasons but causes dramatic side effects. It is no longer allowed to produce some rarely used medical devices by various manufacturers that have been successfully used for decades. Before production, a new application to the MDR would be necessary, which is not a realistic business case for companies producing rarely used devices. This problem currently relates to the Kehr T‑drain made from soft rubber or latex that has been in use since the late nineteenth century. A surgically placed T‑drain, although rarely necessary nowadays, is still in use worldwide for special indications in an attempt to avoid severe complications. These special indications include complex hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) procedures and perforations of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract where T‑drains may be used to secure the hepatojejunostomy or to create a stable fistula. The HPB working group (CALGP) of the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV) provides a statement from a surgical perspective on this matter after a survey of all its members. Politics should be very careful not to generalize when implementing useful new regulations at a European and national level. Established and comprehensible treatment concepts should not be restricted and exemption permits should be quickly granted in these cases because the discontinuation of these niche products may lead to potential patient safety issues and even fatalities.

In the current investigation an attempt has been made to document the floristic diversity, chorotype analysis and occurrence of the Pteridophytes of Pakistan. Previously published literature was consulted in order to confirm the nomenclature, precise locations and other attributes of this unique group of plants. Many field trips were undertaken in various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and specimens of various herbaria were studied in Pakistan and from other countries. Our updated list of taxa confirms that there are 168 taxa belong to 45 genera and 19 families. Pteridaceace and Dryopteridaceae are found to be largest families with 35 taxa each (41.67%), followed by Aspleniaceae with 28 taxa (16.67%) and Athyriaceae with 24 taxa (14.28%). Asplenium is the largest genus with 28 taxa (16.67%), followed by Dryopteris with 17 taxa (10.12%) and Polystichum with 15 taxa (8.93%). Phytogeographically the Sino-Himalayan elements is the major component of the diversity of the pteridophye flora with 94 taxa (55.95%), 18 taxa (10.71%) are cosmopolitan and European elements have 13 taxa (7.74%). We found that 43 taxa (25.6%) are extremely rare, 39 taxa (23.21%) are infrequent and 37 taxa (22.02%) are common. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

VERBAL BORROWINGS FROM LATIN IN OLD POLISH The paper focuses on direct verbal borrowings from Latin into Old Polish. It attempts to determine the exact number of these borrowings and to describe the possible reasons for it being rather small in comparison with nominal borrowings. In the initial parts, some introductory remarks are made on verbal borrowings in general and Polish–Latin language contact in Middle Ages. The main part of the paper discusses the etymology of four Old Polish verbs: koronować ~ korunować, obligować się, ufundować and sylabizować. The final part contains general remarks and conclusions.

The TL and OSL ages obtained from two ancient kilns and gothic to baroque bricks in the SE of Poland, were compared to their presumed historical ages and discussed. The luminescence ages of ancient kilns were also matched with the results of archaeomagnetic dating. The OSL and archaeomagnetic data indicates that the ancient kilns were last used not later than ca. 280 AD. This age corresponds well to the lower limit of the postulated age of fragments of Roman type storage vessels found in the filling of kilns. The OSL data used alone can point even to the end of the phase B2 of Roman influence in Poland. The TL ages obtained from the kilns (5297 ± 256 BC, 7092 ± 423 BC) are significantly older. These bottom parts of kilns, from which samples were taken, most probably were heated to a relatively low temperature, insufficient to reset the TL signal. Most of TL ages obtained from gothic to baroque bricks do not correlate with their historical ages. Unknown and most probably varied brick moisture contents in sampled ground floor walls and cellars does not allow to precisely date these bricks using the TL signal.

Abstract Knapp’s “State Theory of Money” (1905) claims that “Money is an entity of the legal order.” Money is a chartal means of payment, the value of which is independent of the metal value. Money is regulated by the modern state, but this could also be done by non-governmental communities. Contemporary criticism of Knapp reads like criticism of MMT: The danger of inflation is not taken seriously, there is an overreliance on the state, and the approach is too narrowly focused on the monetary side of the economy. MMT’s reception of Knapp suffers from the abbreviated translation into English. Politically, Knapp calls for austerity policies. Therefore, MMT is only loosely rooted in Knapp.
