Abstract

Nostra Aetate is one of the
important documents of the Second Vatican Council. In this document the Church
has been referred positively to other religions’ believers the first time in
its history. Despite it was originally planned as a declaration for the Jews
only, but under the various changes in the consular process, it became a
document about believers of non-Christian religions including the Muslims. In
this article we will deal with how the Decretum de Judaeis, the first draft of
the document, came to Nostra Aetate. Then we will try to discuss how the
different groups have reacted after the announcement of the text.

NOSTRA AETATE’NİN İLAN SÜRECİ:DE JUDAEIS’TEN NOSTRA AETATE’YE

Abstract

Nostra Aetate II. Vatikan Konsili’nin önemli belgelerinden biridir. Bu
belgede Kilise, tarihinde ilk defa diğer din mensuplarından olumlu bir dille
bahsetmektedir. Nevar ki bu metnin önce sadece Yahudilere yönelik bir
deklerasyon olarak planlanmış, fakat konsil sürecinde çeşitli değişimlere
uğrayarak en son Müslümanlar da dahil olmak üzere Hıristiyanlar dışındaki din
mensuplarıyla ilgili bir belge halini almıştır. Biz burada Yahudilerle ilgili
düşünülen ilk taslak olan Decretum de Judaeis’ten Nostra Aetate’ye nasıl
gelindiğini ele alacağız. Ardından metinle ilgili farklı kesimlerden ne tür
tepkiler geldiğini değerlendirmeye çalışacağız.
