The 20th century was the time of her renaissance and a Sunday schools movement is one of the main reasons of this process. This article deals with the beginning, education methods and impact of the movement on the Coptic Orthodox Church.

The paper is focused on a description and analysis of exorcism in the Coptic Orthodox Church. It deals with sacramental as well as non-sacramental rites. The paper introduces the arguments of Pope Shenouda III (1923–2012) to the reader. The paper results in a statement that the practice of exorcism is part of the living tradition of the Coptic Orthodox church, is based on biblical arguments and is performed with the goal of eschatological redemption.

This paper focuses on the published books of the 117th Alexandrian Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church Shenouda III (1923-2012). He is widely recognized as one of the most significant figures of the Egyptian Christian tradition of the 20th century. The mission of the Coptic Orthodox Church to preach the gospel in the Egyptian society is carried out in the context of the majority religion of Islam. This means that the proclamation of the gospel by words is considered a cause of conflict. The paper presents Shenouda´s theological reflection on Islam by analyzing two of his monothematic books Quran and Christianity and The Myth of Barnabas Gospel. The last part of the paper deals with Shenouda´s pastoral concept of preaching the gospel within predominantly Muslim society where religion of Islam is an important part of its constitution.

Bioethical issues have been officially discussed in the Coptic Orthodox Church since 1987. Bioethical questions as well as answers presented by the church authorities disclose the strong influence of traditional Muslim culture of Egypt. The fundamental Christian bioethics is missing; however, we can find at least studies focused on special bioethical issues. Before the first official statement of the Coptic Orthodox Church to bioethical issues was published the bioethical studies of the Coptic monk and theologian Matthew the Poor were published in late sixties. In his bioethical studies we can recognise wider theological concept, nevertheless, the fundamental bioethics is still missing. Still, his bioethical reasoning is also under strong influence of modern Egyptian culture based on the religion of Islam. The paper focuses on the description of the affiliation between the tenets of Muslim culture and the Christian theological discussion.
