    The Dialogue Between Theology and Science as a Sincere Search for Truth. Between Scientific Experiment and Religious Experience
    (Faculty of Philosophy and Religious Studies, 2026-03-26)
    The search for truth is a very old preoccupation, since ancient times. Ancient philosophers and sages were engaged in it. The search for truth has not stopped, but continues to this day. We can say that the greatest seekers of truth today are scientists, in all areas of scientific research. On the other hand, there are theologians, who know Who is the Truth (John 14:6), trying to be in communion with the truth through spiritual life. This study attempts to explain the dialogue between Orthodox theology and science, as well as their different methods through which they come to the knowledge of truth. The path to truth can be found, but the methods are different because science and theology use a different approach. And both can have the same goal, which would be to find the truth, but the different experiences that science and Orthodox theology have must be specified. Science uses observation and experimentation of the things it wants to know, explaining them through rational discourse, but on the other hand it has its own limitations. Theology uses the centuries-old spiritual experience gained in the life of the Church, whose goal is the knowledge of God and communion with Him. When a comparison is made, a difference appears in the knowledge of the material and the immaterial. Although the methods seem different, the goal seems to be the same, and that is to find the answers that lead humanity to the knowledge of the truth. Science and theology can find a common understanding for finding and knowing the truth.

    Пророкот Агеј и обновувањето на храмот како духовно средиште на избраниот народ
    (Православен богословски факултет „Свети Климент Охридски“ - Скопје, 2024)
    Ѓорѓевски Ѓоко
    The research paper on the Prophet Haggai and the restoration of the temple highlights the central theme of Haggai‘s prophetic message: the rebuilding of the temple as a spiritual center for the people of Israel. Haggai, one of the post-exilic prophets, addresses a time of disillusionment after the Babylonian captivity, where the people face harsh realities and slow recovery. Despite the initial excitement of returning to their land, the community struggles to rebuild both physically and spiritually. Unlike many other prophets, Haggai’s message is met with success. His call to rebuild the temple is heeded by the people, and this action leads to a renewal of their faith and a restoration of their community. The rebuilding of the temple is seen by Haggai not just as a physical structure, but as the essential spiritual center of the people’s identity, mission, and relationship with God. The paper emphasizes Haggai’s tireless zeal in motivating the people to renew their covenant with God through the temple, and how this act serves as a foundation for the people’s future spiritual and communal life. The conclusion underscores Haggai’s role in revitalizing both the faith of the Israelites and their sense of purpose among other nations.

    Faith and Spiritual Renewal in Secular North Macedonia: The Pastoral Role of the Macedonian Orthodox Church - The Archbishopric of Ohrid in a Pluralistic Society
    (Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe, 2025-03-01)
    This article explores the relationship between faith and social dynamics in secular North Macedonia, with a focus on the Macedonian Orthodox Church-Archbishopric of Ohrid’s role in shaping spiritual values, social ethics and individual transformation. Although Republic of North Macedonia is a secular state, the Church remains a vital institution, an essential spiritual presence, offering spiritual guidance and fostering ethical frameworks that transcend cultural or national affiliations. It highlights how religious beliefs intersect with the country’s diverse cultural landscape, with an emphasis on the Church’s pastoral mission – directed not toward national or cultural constructs, but toward the transformation of individual. This ongoing spiritual influence continues to shape personal and social values in a secular context.

    The Thirty-year Activity of the Macedonian Bible Society, With a Special Focus on Modern Translations of the Scripture Into Macedonian Language
    (Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe, 2025-03-01)
    ;
    The Macedonian Bible Society was founded in 1993, but its activities began the following year. The translation and printing of biblical texts have been the primary focus of the society's work, and this paper aims to trace its three-decade-long activity through the lens of translations into the Macedonian language. Biblical translations are an integral part of humanity's cultural history, with many factors influencing translation processes over time. It is important to recognize that translation involves two closely intertwined elements: language and cultural context. In Macedonian history, both aspects are deeply connected to biblical translations. This text provides an overview of the history of the Society, with particular emphasis on the characteristics and significance of translations of the Scriptures into modern Macedonian.

    ХРИСТОС КАКО ТЕОЛОГИЈА И ИКОНОМИЈА СПОРЕД СВЕТИ АТАНАСИЈ ВЕЛИКИ
    (Православен Богословски Факултет „Св. Климент Охридски“ – Скопје, 2024)
    This article adresses the distinction between theologia and oikonomia, but in a hermeneutic context, as the main and basic theological principle, through which we can recognize precisely in the biblical texts, both in the Old and the New Testament, the testimony of the Prophets and the Apostles about the divinity and humanity of Christ. It then determines the distinction between theologia and oikonomia in the Holy Scripture, and emphasizes that through this hermeutic distinction introduced by St. Athanasius we can prove based on the biblical texts that the Revelation of God is not only a unity (of three realities) but also a linear path, and in this path the Logos of God becomes flesh, for us. The incarnation is a movement of God’s Revelation, and therefore the distinction between theologia and oikonomia needs to be done.
