„Przyjmować miłość” - nauka o łasce w świetle pneumatologii i personalizmu

Abstract

The author has reinterpreted the foundations of the doctrine about grace in the light of pneumatology and personalism. It is at the same time an attempt to renew the language ot charitology. The conception of person is an adequate hermeneutic category for charitology and pneumatology, the conception that combines both branches of theology. The person is not an idea but a reality both in the Holy Trinity and in man. It is through the sanctifying grace that we enter the circle of the personal life of the Holy Trinity as God’s foster children. The author believes that the renewal of the language of charitology can be carried out through the application of personalistic hermeneutics to the whole tract, and not merely through the introduction of new concepts and images or analogies made contemporary. The whole tract about God’s grace teaches us about the most rich ways of God’s love which seeks man. The Holy Ghost is a personified love, therefor it is most correct to combine the topic about grace with the love of God. Love is possible only among persons. Thanks to the teaching about the Holy Ghost, what is unveiled is the vivifying, sanctifying and releasing love of God to people and to each man. In post-modern culture, very sensitive to freedom, autonomy and authenticity, de-personalization and personalization are those topics which should be addressed in the light of faith and grace.
