In Chihli (later known as Hebei) province, in central Yung-ping-fu, a church and school were erected, and a native Chinese priest opened about twenty new places for preaching the Gospel. In Henan province, a Chinese official gave land in the city of Wei-hui, where he built a church and a school. This became a center for missionary work throughout Henan. By 1916 the Chinese Orthodox mission included: § the Monastery of the Dormition in Beijing; § the Hermitage of the Exaltation of the Cross in the hills west of Beijing; § a convent in Beijing; § nineteen churches, including four in Beijing; § thirty-two mission churches, including fourteen in Chihli province, twelve in Hubei, four in Henan, one in Tsian-fu, and one in Mongolia; § seventeen schools for boys and three for girls; § thirty-eight teachers, nearly all of whom were native Chinese; § 680 Chinese boys and girls enrolled in school; § a theological seminary in Beijing; § a meteorological station, library, printing house (which published one hundred Chinese Orthodox books), painting studio, carpenters shop, flour mill, candle factory, soap factory, weavers workshop, beehives, sewing house and brickyard. 785 Bishop Basil Yao of Beijing (1888–1962).

Of such, therefore, it has been said, By their fruits you shall know them. Matthew 7:20 And therefore was Ham cursed in his son, he being, as it were, his fruit. So, too, this son of his, Canaan, is fitly interpreted their movement, which is nothing else than their work. But Shem and Japheth, that is to say, the circumcision and uncircumcision, or, as the apostle otherwise calls them, the Jews and Greeks, but called and justified, having somehow discovered the nakedness of their father (which signifies the Saviour " s passion), took a garment and laid it upon their backs, and entered backwards and covered their father " s nakedness, without their seeing what their reverence hid. For we both honor the passion of Christ as accomplished for us, and we hate the crime of the Jews who crucified Him. The garment signifies the sacrament, their backs the memory of things past: for the church celebrates the passion of Christ as already accomplished, and no longer to be looked forward to, now that Japheth already dwells in the habitations of Shem, and their wicked brother between them. But the wicked brother is, in the person of his son (i.e., his work), the boy, or slave, of his good brothers, when good men make a skillful use of bad men, either for the exercise of their patience or for their advancement in wisdom. For the apostle testifies that there are some who preach Christ from no pure motives; but, says he, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Philippians 1:18 For it is Christ Himself who planted the vine of which the prophet says, The vine of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel; Isaiah 5:7 and He drinks of its wine, whether we thus understand that cup of which He says, Can you drink of the cup that I shall drink of? Matthew 20:22and, Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me, Matthew 26:39 by which He obviously means His passion. Or, as wine is the fruit of the vine, we may prefer to understand that from this vine, that is to say, from the race of Israel, He has assumed flesh and blood that He might suffer; and he was drunken, that is, He suffered; and was naked, that is, His weakness appeared in His suffering, as the apostle says, though He was crucified through weakness. 2Corinthians 13:4Wherefore the same apostle says, The weakness of God is stronger than men; and the foolishness of God is wiser than men. 1Corinthians 1:25 And when to the expression he was naked Scripture adds in his house, it elegantly intimates that Jesus was to suffer the cross and death at the hands of His own household, His own kith and kin, the Jews.

Богословской темой, объединяющей книгу, является возмездие. Проповедь на эту тему (1:2–6) подводит пророка к предсказанию окончательного суда – дня Господня (1:7–3:20), которому в «последние дни» подвергнутся люди за свои поступки. Хотя Софония не одинок в своем внимании к дню Господню (ср.: Ис. 2 ; Иер. 46–51 ; Иез. 7 ; Иоил. 2 ), нигде эта тема не становится богословским стержнем книги в такой мере, как здесь. Софония раскрывает оба аспекта природы дня Господня: это время сурового наказания и благословенной надежды. Возмездие падет на Иудею за ее неспособность следовать завету. Перечисляются конкретные виды идолослужения (1:4–6), а также гражданские и религиозные руководители Иудеи (3:3–4), подлежащие суду. Особому осуждению подвергаются равнодушие (1:12–13) и гордыня (2:3) Иудеи. Не уйдут от наказания и другие народы (гл. 2); их развращение напоминает «развращение человеков», описанное в Быт. 6:5–7 . Гордыня ускоряет их гибель (2:10,15). Надежда даруется Израилю при условии, что он смирится и откажется от своей безрассудной гордыни (3:12). Это касается и настоящего момента (2:3), и будущего благословения Израиля (3:13–17) и других народов (3:9). Национальные, социальные и личные чаяния могут исполниться только при наличии смирения. Гордыня и надежда несовместимы. Дополнительная литература Boice J. M. The Minor Prophets, 2 vol. (Zondervan, 1983, 1986). Craigie P. C.

3 Elaine Pagels, Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas (New York: Random House, 2003), 32. Pagels is talking about the so-called Nag Hammadi texts, discovered near the Egyptian village of Nag Hammadi in 1945. In fact, the entire ‘Nag Hammadi library’, as it is sometimes called, totalling somewhat more than 1,000 papyrus pages, tumbled out of a single broken um about two feet high at the time of its discovery, and the standard, modem English translation occupies a single paper­back volume that sits comfortably in the palm of one hand. That English edition is: James M. Robinson (general editor), The Nag Hammadi Library in English (San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 1990). For the story of the discovery, including the height of the um, see Bart D. Ehrman, Lost Christianities (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003), 52; also W. C. van Unnik, Newly Discovered Gnostic Writings: A Preliminary Survey of the Nag Hammadi Find (London: SCM Press, 1960), 10. For the number of pages, see Christoph Markschies, Gnosis: An Introduction, tr. J. Bowden (Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 2003), 49. 4 Stephen Prothero, American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon (New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2003), 7 – 8. 5 For an account of the Council and the question of the authenticity of the list, see the still authoritative B. F. Westcott, A General Survey of the History of the Canon of the New Testament, 6th edn. (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Baker Book House, 1980; repr. of 1889 original), 431 – 9. The list of New Testament books is identical to the contents of the traditional New Testament except that it omits the book of Revelation. 6 Bart Ehrman, ‘Christianity Turned on Its Head: The Alternative Vision of the Gospel of Judas’, in R. Kasser, M. Meyer, and G. Wurst (eds.), The Gospel of Judas from Codex Tchacos (Washington, DC: National Geographic, 2006), 77 – 120, at 118. See also Ehrman, Lost Christianities, whose chapters include titles such as ‘The Arsenal of the Conflicts: Polemical Treatises and Personal Slurs’ and ‘Additional Weapons in the Polemical Arsenal: Forgeries and Falsifications’.
