20.500.12556/RUL-180820 Kako cesarska je bila cesarska Cerkev? How imperial was the imperial Church? Prispevek skuša odgovoriti na ne posebej sveže vprašanje, v kolikšni meri je pojav cesarske Cerkve v 4. stoletju dejansko preoblikoval tirnice, po katerih je tekla cerkvena zgodovina. Ob tem vstopa v dialog predvsem s tistimi pogledi, ki rišejo ostro ločnico med obdobjem pred njeno uveljavitvijo in po njej. Na navedeni točki je treba po najinem mnenju opozoriti, da je sprememba zadevala predvsem posvetno sfero, medtem ko je večina krščanskih skupnosti že od vsega začetka stavila na harmoničen odnos z oblastniki. Zahtevnejši del odgovora o daljnosežnosti sprememb pa zadeva razsežnosti poseganja pokristjanjenega ali vsaj Cerkvi »pridruženega« rimskega vladarja v njeno notranje življenje. Zaradi narave prispevka se tukaj v največji meri omejujeva na Konstantinov »prstni odtis« na nicejskem koncilu leta 325 in v času neposredno pred njim ter takoj po njem. Kajpak je naraščajoča družbena moč Cerkve močno vplivala tudi na vsebinske poudarke pri njenem oznanjevanju in na obnašanje njenih voditeljev, čeprav na primere zelo samo-zavestnih in očitno celo zunaj krščanske skupnosti vplivnih škofov najdemo že od druge polovice 3. stoletja naprej. A te spremembe, ki lahko na zunaj res ustvarijo vtis, da se je nekdanja Cerkev apostolov spremenila do neprepoznavnosti, ne omogočajo risanja izrazitega prepada med obdobjem pred Konstantinom in tistim po njem. Glavne komponente zakoličenja razmerij na nicejskem koncilu so obstajale že v dotedanjem razvoju krščanstva v rimskem imperiju. This article attempts to answer the not-particularly-new question of the extent to which the emergence of an imperial Church in the 4th century actually reshaped the course of Church history. In doing so, it enters into dialogue primarily with those views that draw a sharp distinction between the period before and after its establishment. In our opinion, it should be noted that the change mainly affected the secular sphere, while most Christian communities had from the very beginning sought a harmonious relationship with the rulers. The more challenging part of the answer about the far-reaching nature of the changes concerns the extent of the intervention of the Christianised or at least Church-affiliated Roman rulers in its internal life. Due to the nature of this article, we are limiting ourselves here to Constantine’s ‘fingerprint’ on the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the period immediately before and after it. Of course, the growing social power of the Church also had a strong influence on the content of its preaching and the behaviour of its leaders, although examples of very self-confident and obviously influential bishops can be found as early as the second half of the 3rd century. However, these changes, which may outwardly give the impression that the former Church of the Apostles had changed beyond recognition, do not allow us to draw a clear line between the period before Constantine and the period after him. The main components of the establishment of relations at the Council of Nicaea already existed in the previous development of Christianity in the Roman Empire. koncil v Niceji cesarska Cerkev verski kulti v rimskem imperiju Council of Nicaea imperial Church Roman religious cults true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-03-17 12:49:30 2026-03-17 12:49:41 2026-03-20 03:40:11 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 45-63 št. 2 Letn. 27 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-29 94(37) 1580-0261 10.4312/keria.27.2.45-63 271969539 RAZ_Maver_Ales_2025.pdf RAZ_Maver_Ales_2025.pdf 1 C5DA6DCDB14D733B58703418946B5461 b54eeba712a25de3d8fda6eccfa5b811305df4a059b6e73321110eafcb8e9f71 ebb6a3f2-21f7-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230685 https://journals.uni-lj.si/keria/article/view/27104 0 0258a846-21f8-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230686 Filozofska fakulteta Keria 0 0 0
