The evangelization of Cyprus, as shown by St Luke in The Acts of the Apostles, can be perceived as a miniature-pattern for the process of expansion and triumph of Christianity in the ancient world, which was initiated on the very island. While focusing on the beginnings of Christianization of Cyprus, the article aims at presenting, first of all, the rich historical and multicultural background, encountered and “inherited” here by the new religion, as the soil for sowing the evangelistic seed in. The following two parts of the article, showing the Greek-speaking Jewish diaspora on the island as praeparatio evangelica, depict the process of rooting of the Gospel on Cyprus. The first stage of that process is connected with the activity of the precursors of Barnabas and Saul, involved in evangelizing mission on the island. Scattered, as a result of persecution which took place in Jerusalem when deacon Stephen was killed, the precursors (mentioned by St Luke in Acts 11), come over as exceptionally courageous torch-bearers of the new faith, engaged in the pursuit of missionary path preparation for Saul-Paul and Barnabas on Cyprus. Their mission on the island, as the second stage of evangelization of Cyprus, spread from its eastern boundary to the western one, and was accomplished in the capital city of Paphos by conspicuous conversion of the Roman governor of Cyprus, which was the “opening a door of faith to the Gentiles” (Acts 14:27) and a paragon for future evangelization of the whole Roman Empire.

L’enciclica Dives in misericordia è un testo profondamente biblico. Degli otto capitoli che la compongono, i primi cinque parlano esplicitamente del messaggio biblico. Specialmente il terzo offre una sintesi sulla misericordia nell’Antico Testamento. Inoltre quasi totalità delle note rinvia unicamente alla Bibbia. Di più, una lunghissima nota (numero 52) analizza il vocabolario della misericordia nell’Antico Testamento. Il Papa è cosciente di toccare in quest’enciclica un elemento fondamentale della Scrittura, e di conseguenza, della vita cristiana.

The historical nature of Christian revelation results in ascription of our salvation to specific coordinates in the dimensions of time and space. Besides the very popular idea of the history of salvation we can speak also about the geography of salvation as a subject closely related to and completing the history of salvation. The article deals with the issue of the deep connection between the theological message of the (synoptic) gospels and the geographic environment of the life and mission of Jesus. It focuses on the special point, placed by the evangelists Mark and Matthew on the “map of salvation” – Caesarea Philippi. The scene of dialogue between Jesus and His disciples at that place (Mk 8:2730; Mt 16:13-20) constitutes a turning-point in the way of Jesus and also in the composition of both gospels. In the article, divided into two main parts, have been presented on the background of the biblical tradition of the Old and New Testament, respectively: Mount Hermon and the River Jordan, in relation to the theological role and function of Caesarea Philippi in Mt and Mk. In that way we have been attempted to appreciate and to “read” the Fifth Gospel, as often the Holy Land has been called.

The topie expressed in the title is explained throughout the artide in three aspects which correspond to the main points.The first one is the issue o f the source o f the authority of Jesus. Just as the Father gives to Jesus the mission of salvation, He likewise empowers Him with the authorityto complete this task.Another point is the uniqueness ofthe authority of Jesus. He alone bas the power to govem not only the life and death o f all humani ty, but also His own. It is accomplished through the Resurrection.The finał aspect of our reflection is the delegation of Jesus' authority over life and death to his discip l es, w ho are sent by Him to continue His mission. This authority and mission originated by the Father, continues through Jesus in the community ofhis believers.
