Teologiczny obraz twierdzy jerozolimskiej w 1 Mch 1,33-38 i jej oblężenie przez wojska Judy w 4,41 oraz 6,18-20
No full textThe purpose of this article is to present certain episodes of the acts of war of insurgent army under the leadership of Judah Maccabee, which occurred both before the death of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the biggest enemy of Jews in Seleucia empire, and shortly after it. The undertaken efforts clearly show that even after the death of the hated ruler the situation in the province of Judah has not changed radically. The insurgents still attempted to free themselves from Seleucia rulers, whose castle in the capital was probably the most important sign of domination. To understand the meaning of the activities of insurgents better one cannot ignore the role that acre played in oppressing the chosen people. The first part of the article mentions that. An important final query, however, is an attempt to answer the question of the author of the book - why did Judah fail to take the fortress, despite undoubtedly favorable circumstances surrounding it. The article deals with the First Book of Maccabees, which is still rarely commented, as well as all deuterocanonical books, more often overlooked in exegetical discussions than books of the Hebrew Bible.Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja pewnego epizodu działań wojennych armii powstańczej pod dowództwem Judy Machabeusza, który nastąpił zarówno przed śmiercią Antiocha IV Epifanesa, największego wroga Żydów w imperium seleuckim, jak i w niedługim czasie po niej. Podejmowane w tym kierunku wysiłki wskazują jednoznacznie, że nawet po śmierci nienawistnego władcy sytuacja w prowincji judzkiej nie zmieniła się radykalnie. Podkreślają jednak również ciągle podejmowane przez powstańców próby uwolnienia się spod jarzma seleuckiego, którego zamek w stolicy był bodaj najbardziej jaskrawym znamieniem. By lepiej zrozumieć sens działań powstańców, nie można pominąć roli, jaką akra odegrała w uciemiężeniu narodu wybranego, o czym wspomni pierwsza część prezentowanego materiału. Istotnym zapytaniem końcowym jest jednak próba odpowiedzi autora księgi na pytanie dlaczego Judzie – mimo niewątpliwie sprzyjających mu okoliczności – nie udało się zdobyć twierdzy. Poniższa prezentacja wpisuje się w ciągle słabo jeszcze opisywaną przez badaczy problematykę Pierwszej Księgi Machabejskiej, szerzej zaś w ogóle ksiąg deuterokanonicznych, znacznie częściej pomijanych w omówieniach egzegetycznych, niż dzieła Biblii Hebrajskiej
Indian Music to Celebrate Christmas in Moxo Jesuit Reductions, Bolivia
No full textThe subject of Indian music and Indian influence on baroque music from the former Jesuit Reductions in South America needs new studies, and what has been said on this matter up to now by musicologists and ethnomusicologists needs revision. The finding of almost 13,000 pages of baroque music from the Chiquito and Moxo Reductions in Bolivia gives us new opportunity to clarify Native American’s attitude toward music introduced in the missions by the missionaries and to illustrate their influence on music created or written anew in the missions by the missionaries and local musicians. In the context of music for Christmas celebration a serious of arguments are discussed to clarify the presence of “Indian” components in the baroque music from America, as well as coexistence of autochthonous and “new music” in the missions.Temat muzyki Indian i wpływu Indian na muzykę barokową z dawnych redukcji jezuickich w Ameryce Południowej potrzebuje nowych badań, a to, co zostało powiedziane w tej sprawie do tej pory przez muzykologów i etnomuzykologów wymaga rewizji. Odkrycie prawie 13.000 stron muzyki barokowej z jezuickich redukcji Indian Chiquito i Moxo w Boliwii daje nam nową możliwość wyjaśnienia zachowania Indian w stosunku do muzyki wprowadzonej w misjach przez jezuickich misjonarzy, jak również szanse na ilustruje wpływ Indian na muzykę komponowaną, lub na nowo aranżowaną w misjach przez misjonarzy i lokalnych muzyków. W kontekście muzyki na Boże Narodzenie łańcuch argumentów został przedstawiony w celu wyjaśnienia obecności "indyjskich" elementów w muzyce barokowej z Ameryki, a także współistnienie autochtonicznej i "nowej muzyki" w misjach
Eschatologia Andrieja Bołotowa
No full textExpecting the arrival of the seventh millennium in 1836, Bolotov wrote in 1823 his eschatological treatise in which he first presented proofs of the immortality of the soul followed by his vision of the afterlife. The proofs were mostly traditional, with one of the relying very heavily on Jung-Stilling’s pneumatology. Bolotov also presented his vision of apocalyptic events: the first resurrection at the beginning of the seventh millennium, and at its end the second coming of Christ, the second resurrection, the last judgment, the end of the old world and the arrival of the new heaven and new earth. Bolotov also provided fairly detailed description of this new earth.Oczekując na przybycie siódmego tysiąclecia, które miało nastąpić w 1836 roku, Bołotow napisał w 1823 roku eschatologiczny traktat, w którym przedstawił dowody na nieśmiertelność duszy i swą wizję życia pozagrobowego. Były to głównie znane już dowody, jeden z nich natomiast opierał się na pneumatologii Junga-Stillinga. Bołotow przedstawił też swoją wizję apokaliptycznych wydarzeń: pierwsze zmartwychwstanie na początku siódmego tysiąclecia i na jego końcu przybycie Chrystusa, drugie zmartwychwstanie, sąd ostateczny, koniec starego świata i utworzenie nowego nieba i nowej ziemi. Bołotow dość szczegółowo opisał również ową nową ziemię
Kapłan sługą miłosierdzia. Refleksja moralno-pastoralna w kontekście Nadzwyczajnego Jubileuszu Miłosierdzia (8 grudnia 2015 – 20 listopada 2016)
No full textThe Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy announced in the bull Misercicordiae vultus by the Holy Father Francis, becomes an opportunity to reflect on the priestly vocation in the context of the truth about mercy. The practice of authentic mercy is a fundamental task of priestly life. In this perspective it seems that the mercy as the style of the priestly life requires to be presented again with new enthusiasm and with renewed pastoral activity. This is a key task for the Church.Therefore, the moral-pastoral reflections included in this publication aim to - in the light of the documents of the Church, especially the writings and statements of popes: John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis - encourage in the Holy Year to rediscover and revive the sense of identity and essential tasks of priestly ministry fulfilled primarily in preaching and practicing the virtue of mercy.The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy announced in the bull Misercicordiae vultus by the Holy Father Francis, becomes an opportunity to reflect on the priestly vocation in the context of the truth about mercy.

Niektóre wyzwania pod adresem metody teologii
No full textThis study focuses on two issues, namely: the issue of the contemplative character of theology (it deals with the nature of theology), and the question of how other academic disciplines – especially anthropological ones – may contribute to theology. The latter is an attempt to point out certain possible interdisciplinary applications of theology, and to open to the subject of its study and to the formulated proposals concerning particularly understanding of man and his life on earth. The issue of a contemplative character of theology, deeply rooted in its own history, has to struggle today with two phenomena: anthropological reductionism and the preference given to action. The question then arises: why cannot such tendencies be accepted uncritically? Contemporary theology faces a serious challenge because it has to include in its study a positive contribution made by humanities for understanding of man. However, a question may be asked: how to take advantage of the achievements of these disciplines so that the theological reflection may preserve its specific character and serve a deeper understanding of faith and its essence
New perspectives of the contemporary theology of preaching
No full textAuf dem zeitgenössischen „theologischen Markt” macht eine neue Methode von sich reden, die als grafisch-geometrische Methode bezeichnet wird. Sie führt den Menschen in ein gewisses grundsätzliches Paradox des Christentums und der Sicht der Glaubenswahrheiten ein. Ihre Anwendung in der im weitesten Sinne verstandenen Theologie kann diese selbst einem breiteren Gremium zugänglicher machen und zu ihrer Popularisierung durch das Kerygma der Kirche beitragen. Dies eröffnet eine neue Brückenfunktion der Theologie, durch die sowohl der integrale, ganzheitliche Charakter der Heilsgeschichte, ihre in sich stimmige Struktur, sowie ihre Dynamik ausgedrückt werden kann. Die einzelnen grafischen Darstellungen illustrieren die einzelnen Etappen der Verwirklichung des göttlichen Heilsplanes.A new method appeared on the contemporary „theological market”, called the graphic presentation method or graphic presentation. It is an introduction to a certain principal paradox of Christianity and seeing the articles of faith. Its application to broadly understood theology can make theology itself more available to people and contribute to its popularization through the kerygma of Church. It opens a new span in theology through which it is possible to express both integrity, the whole of the history of salvation, its internally cohesive structure, and its dynamics. Each graph illustrates a different stage of the fulfilment of the salutary plan of God
Maryja – „doskonała ikona wiary” Wokół autorstwa maryjnego wątku encykliki Lumen fidei
No full text The article addresses two main questions: What image of Mary’s faith does the encyclical Lumen fidei portray? What fruits does the encounter of Mary’s faith and the faith of the Church bring out? The subtitle suggests one more issue: since the encyclical was written by two Popes, (Benedict XVI and Francis), it is interesting to try to determine who wrote particular themes on the topic of Mary\u27s faith. The first chapter presents Mary, the Daughter of Zion, who fulfilled the faith of Israel, and also initiated the faith of the Church. The second chapter characterizes the relation of Mary to the Word of God, which she listened to, kept in her heart and unconditionally accepted in order to live in total harmony with God. The third chapter concerns Mary\u27s journey of faith at Jesus’s side, which was marked with the joy of the Annunciation, as well as with the Cross, finally reaching its destination in the light of his resurrection. The last chapter focuses on the reference of Mary\u27s faith to the faith of the Church. In Mary\u27s school, we learn to trust God and his word, to focus on Jesus, to contemplate him, to follow him, to perceive with his eyes, to cherish his feelings, and to adopt his attitudes. Only such faith brings fruits and joy. The encyclical teaching on Mary’s faith, as read in the context of other statements from both Popes, enables us to establish the following: 1. From Benedict XVI comes the Lumen fidei teaching on Mary, the Daughter of Zion, a woman who accepts and lives by the Word of God; the emphasis on Mary as a model of faith; and the motto “those who believe are never alone”. 2. Francis can be credited with the themes concerning the impact of Mary’s faith on our lives, both personal and social; learning from her how to see with the eyes of Jesus; and entrusting ourselves to his love. He calls her the Mother of our faith to emphasize her maternal care over the faith of the Church
Revelation as the Thou of Jesus Christ Joseph Ratzinger’s/Pope Benedict XVI’s Contribution to a deeper Understanding of Revelation
No full textThe article discusses Pope Benedict XVI’s / Joseph Ratzinger’s understanding of revelation. It shows the bases for his understanding to be found in the theology of St. Bonaventure, more specifically in the Doctor Seraphicus’ Hexaëmeron. It is on the theology of history in Bonaventure that Ratzinger had written his terminal paper. This will allow him to impact Vatican II in an original way. The essay describes how the young peritus Joseph Ratzinger contributed in a most decisive way to the dogmatic constitution on divine revelation Dei Verbum’s recalibration of the nature of revelation. It also discusses hope Pope Benedict‘s teaching office thematized revelation. Revelation is ultimately neither Scripture nor tradition, but the self-disclosure of the Triune God in the Thou of Jesus Christ

Świętość Kościoła w ujęciu św. Piotra Chryzologa
No full textThe article Holiness of the Church according to Sermons of St. Peter Chrysologus presents one aspect of the ecclesiology of the bishop of Ravenna. Among the most popular questions, which are evidenced in his theological reflection, it is necessary to evidence, that Church Fathers focus their attention on an ontological aspect of the Church’s holiness which finds its foundation in Christ. Frequent references to ideas of the Mystical Body of Christ or the Church as a spouse of Christ confirm our opinion. It is necessary to admit that these themes, like other questions, developed in Chrysologus’s sermons (the role of the sacrament or belief that there is no salvation outside the Church) are already known in the patristic literature. Therefore the ecclesiology of the bishop of Ravenna is not original. However, taking into consideration the pastoral dimension of his teaching, it is clear that the objective of his sermons was different than to present an ecclesiological treatise.The results of analytical researches allow to complete the picture of the doctrine of the Church by its unknown aspect, contained in the teaching of the bishop of Ravenna.The article Holiness of the Church according to Sermons of St. Peter Chrysologus presents one aspect of the ecclesiology of the bishop of Ravenna.
