On the path of Christian vocation, the fundamental of love is held in two commandments of charity: Love the Lord your God and love your neighbour as yourself. These have a value of law, but are also included in the everyday experience of the personal dynamics of mankind, whereupon every individual is uniquely developed and diverse.Love therefore manifests itself particularly in charity, a sign characterised by a special creative force and perfect means of inscribing individual liberty in the freedom exercised through charity. The Good Samaritan of ers a practical example of charity, perhaps unreachable, but awaited by most. The act of charity is a very appreciated element of testimony of Christian faith. Moreover, since the dawn of Christianity, martyrdom has also represented the manifestation of love. After all, the place intended for martyrs is a very special one. They are a gift of life, made by Christ and signed by blood shed n the service of faith. They are the most perfect sign of human love on this earth, because their decision is made in full freedom, and in the strength of Christ’s grace. Love is therefore the ultimate fuli lment of liberty. However, as it presents itself, liberty through which love reaches its full potential is found in the one revealed by the person of Jesus Christ, particularly in His Incarnation and in the Pasqual Mystery of Redemption. Liberty is bound to truth. Liberty is only fully manifested in love. Today, mankind makes liberty absolute and often doesn’t ask and doesn’t want to know what the truth is. Consequently, at the personal level, people do know who they are, where they come from or what their destiny is. These dei ciencies steer mankind to their auto-destruction.

This essay follows Kierkegaard’s treatment of the concept of Socratic irony through the course of his whole authorship, starting with his dissertation (1841) on Socratic and Romantic irony. Later, in 1846, Kierkegaard’s pseudonym Johannes Climacus mounts a critique of that dissertation in Concluding Unscientific Postscript, sharpening Kierkegaard’s earlier definition of irony through the concepts of jest and earnest. The focus of this essay, however, is on Kierkegaard’s late period, after 1846, when the satirical Copenhagen journal The Corsair, mounted a set of vicious attacks upon Kierkegaard, subjecting him to months of public ridicule. The result was that Kierkegaard came to feel a much closer personal identification than before with the situation at Socrates’ trial.

Saint Thecla has been venerated as a martyr and even protomartyr in the Christian East and West. She has even been considered a female alter ego of Saint Stephen. However, while Stephen was perceived as a prototype of the perfect Christian martyr since his death, Thecla was first created as an icon of another Christian concept – celibacy. The apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla were a primal and always predominant source of her legend. When looking at it from the perspective of two fundamental components of the Christian notion of martys, i.e. the testimony of faith and the physical sufferings, one promptly notices the striking differences between the two saints. Nonetheless, some features of Thecla’s story made their association possible. This article investigates the phenomenon of ancient authors’ growing attention to the martyr-like motifs of the Acts of Paul and Thecla and the circumstances that eventually led to the unexpected spread of her cult as a martyr and spectacular promotion of this saint in Late Antiquity.
