Ksiądz Zdzisław Grzegorski — ojciec polskiej homiletyki kontekstualnej
The article reminds and introduces the work of Zdzisław Grzegorski (1930–2012), a theologian from Poznań, a lecturer of homiletics and the editor of the “Biblioteka Kaznodziejska” (Preachers’ Library), called the father of the Polish school of contextual homiletics. The contextual homiletics, which he created and popularized in numerous publications, deals with the relationship of the forms of religious messages to other forms of communication and makes the effectiveness of proclaiming the word of God relevant to communicating. The service of the word creates a peculiar channel of information, consisting of such elements as: theological awareness, disposition of the preacher, the attitude of the recipient, the closer and further context, the language. The communication act on the pulpit has various functions: cognitive, conative, phatic and prophetic. The preacher should check the functioning of the communication channel through the theological and postulative observation.
Grzegorski’s concept was developed in a few national symposia and conferences. It had a significant impact on the contemporary Polish homiletic reflection. The communication and contex- tual orientation can be seen in several works of Polish preachers. Nevertheless, Grzegorski’s work demands further development and popularization, so that the contextual understanding and practice of communicating the word of God has been adopted in the Church.The article reminds and introduces the work of Zdzisław Grzegorski (1930–2012), a theologian from Poznań, a lecturer of homiletics and the editor of the “Biblioteka Kaznodziejska” (Preachers’ Library), called the father of the Polish school of contextual homiletics.

Pogrzeb i grób w tradycjach o patriarchach zawartych w Księdze Rodzaju. Stan badań
In the sanctuary dedicated to the patriarchs in Hebron, according to tradition, there are graves of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives, Sarah, Rebekah and Leah. The roots of this tradition go back to the Book of Genesis, however, today there are some people who call into question the credibility of this message. On the grounds of analysis of the text describing the circumstances of Jacob’s death, some state that actually his grave has a diff erent location. Others, in turn, will point out that the story of Abraham purchasing a fi eld with the cave of Machpelah for the grave of Sarah (cf. Gen 23) is a very late tradition, which was attached to the pre-existing text. Therefore, in this article, we will analyze existing studies referring to the issue of the patriarchs’ death and its accom-panying events (funeral, mourning, grave) in order to check how they discuss it and to what extent they approach this practice globally.In the sanctuary dedicated to the patriarchs in Hebron, according to tradition, there are graves of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives, Sarah, Rebekah and Leah.

Dzisiejsza obecność teologa i teologii we wspólnocie akademickiej
The presence of theology in the academic community is today a challenge of particular significance. One of the most important reasons are political transformations in the post-communist countries of Europe in the last 25 years, as well as ideological and axiological transformations in the West of our continent. All these processes have affected many spheres of social, cultural and spiritual life and are directly related to shaping the contemporary theological thought. Although theology acquires potentially new opportunities for development and impact in the university space, in practice there are increasing difficulties in its affirmation. The problem primarily concerns the scientific profile of theology and the responsibility of theologians themselves.The presence of theology in the academic community is today a challenge of particular significance.

Izrael wobec zakazu sprzymierzania się z poganami w wybranych tekstach Septuaginty: część I
This article analyses the problem of Israelites forming an alliance in diff erent times chiefl y de-scribed in the Pentateuch. Many existing exegetic commentaries lack a clear answer explaining the extent of the prohibition to ally with Gentiles described in Ex 23:32; 34:12; Deut 7:2 and Judg 2:2. The author wants to give a full answer to the question why the prohibition concerns only the nations neighboring Israel after the chosen people started to occupy the Promised Land; or perhaps it also concerns the Gentile nations that neighbored Israel. Should the prohibition be interpreted restric-tively or extensively? One should also defi ne the necessity of the prohibition, that is what it actually concerned — any sort of signing a pact with Gentiles or merely the realm of purity of faith so as to dodge the temptation of idolatry. An attempt to answer these questions will broaden the knowledge about these important times of the chosen peopleThis article analyses the problem of Israelites forming an alliance in diff erent times chiefl y described in the Pentateuch.

Luis Jerónimo de Oré OFM — Symbolo Catholico Indiano (1598)
Brother Luis Jerónimo de Oré’s Symbolo Catholico Indiano was the most important and authorized sixteenth century treatise for the evangelization of the native Andean peoples. In its pages we find a vivid image of Andean reality immediately after the Conquest and a fervent exposition of the Catholic faith inspired in the recent Councils of Trent and Lima. The treatise also presents the missioning methods that served the Franciscans and other priests of the Viceroyalty for the evangelization of the indigenous peoples. Above all, in this text we find an admirable exposition of the theological doctrine and catechetical practice in the anthropological perspective that forms its starting point, which is the Andean man or woman who had never heard a message of salvation and dignity for the human person.
Brother Luis Jerónimo de Oré Rojas OFM was born in Huamanga in 1554 (now the geographi- cal Department of Ayacucho in Perú). He was a zealous missionary who travelled throughout the colonizers’ territory, from the extreme north of Florida to the extreme south of Chile. As an intelli- gent linguist he was the author of important rituals and catechisms in Quechua and Aymara. He was one of the first bishops born on the American soil, and the first to be incorporated into the Native Indian Council and the Vatican hierarchy; as a bishop he stood out for his protection of aboriginal groups and his energetic defense of the cultural integrity of Native Indian nations.Brother Luis Jerónimo de Oré’s Symbolo Catholico Indiano was the most important and authorized sixteenth century treatise for the evangelization of the native Andean peoples.

Autonomia sumienia w blasku Prawdy i blasku Dobra w świetle potrzeby korelacji nauk ścisłych i humanistycznych
Artykuł dotyczy zagadnienia korelacji prawdy i dobra w ludzkiej aktywności. Autorzy wskazują sumienie jako subiektywne centrum, w którym osoba ludzka weryfikuje swoją pozycję w relacji do Absolutu jako źródła wartości, włączając absolutną Prawdę i Dobro. Odróżniają prawdę od Prawdy i dobro od Dobra, wyjaśniając różnicę: dobro i prawda odnoszą się do fragmentu rzeczywistości ludzkiej, środowiska i ludzkiej aktywności twórczej; Dobro i Prawda odnoszą się do absolutnej kategorii wartości jako fundamentu etycznej weryfikacji działań osoby. Analiza jest oparta na personalistycznej antropologii Karola Wojtyły / Jana Pawła II — autora teorii zależności jakości bytu osobowego od moralnej jakości czynu osoby jako autonomicznego podmiotu, który działa w ‘blasku’/jasności/świetle Dobra i Prawdy. Pokazują skutki zakłócenia harmonii między światem osoby i światem wartości, dotykające jakości struktur społecznych i ekonomicznych.Artykuł dotyczy zagadnienia korelacji prawdy i dobra w ludzkiej aktywności.

Misja Kościoła — niezwykła zwykłość nauczania papieża Franciszka
With Pope Francis a new chapter has begun in the history of the Church. This newness refers to the new internal situation of the Church, new “signs of time”, and new challenges which the Church has to face. Through the symbolic gestures of his pastoral practice and the directions indicated in his homilies and encyclical letters Francis responds to these challenges in the spirit of the Gospel.
His whole pontificate is characterized by the profound desire to impart the newness and fresh- ness of the Gospel as well as what constitutes the core of its teaching. In this endeavor of returning to the sources, he sees the possibility of renewal of the Church. This entails a discernment of what constitutes the center and core of the Christian proclamation versus what is secondary, as well as how Jesus’ teaching has been distorted and deformed over the centuries. Francis speaks about the necessity of the apostolic and pastoral conversion of the Church. The Church has to undertake the “option for mission” and “apostolic dynamism”. She must go to the peripheries.
In his teaching Pope Francis imparts the traditional doctrine of the Church. But he does it in a new way, using new language, new gestures and a new way of life. Like his predecessors, he wants to serve the faith. He does not wish to change what constitutes the core of the Christian faith. But he wants the Church to grow in the understanding of the Gospel as well as in the discernment of the ways of the Spirit. Therefore, he emphasizes the constant need for the attitude of discernment. This is what he has learned above all from Ignatian spirituality and his pastoral experience: “the discernment of the spirits”.With Pope Francis a new chapter has begun in the history of the Church.

La dimension néoplatonicienne du Fondement Ignatien (au contexte du tout des Exercices spirituels de saint Ignace de Loyola)
God is the foundation and goal of man. The way to God, from the state of disgrace to a happy relationship with God, is also the “foundation” of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, including the Foundation. In the Foundation there is a Neoplatonic way to God as absolute Good− Truth−Beauty. The spiritual way, continued in Weeks of the Ignatian retreat, includes the stages of purification, enlightenment and unification. This way is thus also an existential principle present in Christian Neoplatonism, having its reception in all cycle of Ignatian Exercises. The article to concern the relationship between the theology of the Foundation and Christian Neoplatonism, with reference to the whole of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.God is the foundation and goal of man.

Droga do Boga, od stanu niełaski do uszczęśliwiającej więzi z Bogiem, stanowi także osnowę ignacjańskich Ćwiczeń duchownych, w tym inicjującego je Fundamentu. W Fundamencie kryje się neoplatońska droga ku absolutnemu Dobru−Prawdzie− Pięknu, czyli ku Bogu. Duchowa droga, kontynuowana w Tygodniach rekolekcji ignacjańskich, obejmuje etapy: oczyszczenia, oświecenia i zjednoczenia. Droga ta jest zatem również egzystencjalną zasadą obecną w chrześcijańskim neoplatonizmie, mającą swoją recepcję w całym cyklu ignacjańskich Ćwiczeń. Artykuł dotyczy związku między teologią Fundamentu a chrześcijańskim neoplatonizmem, w odniesieniu do całokształtu Ćwiczeń duchownych
