Ewolucja teologicznych poglądów na zmartwychwstanie Chrystusa

Abstract

In the theological thought on Christ's Resurrection we can notice two complementary trends, one of which, represented by the catholic theology stressed the occurrence aspect of the resurrection (objective conceptions of resurrection), and the other, represented by the protestant theology, paid attention to the mystery dimension of the resurrection (subjective conceptions). The objective interpretation defended strongly first the historical character of the resurrection, interpreting the paschal fact in terms of the miracle of resuscitation (somatic reanimation), and since 1960-ties the resurrection has been interpreted in terms of eschatic event. The subjective interpretation was not interested in the occurrence aspect of the resurrection, but viewed it as a symbol signifying the redeeming sense of the crucifiction (R. Bultmann) or as a theological reflexion on “die Sache Jesu” (W. Marxsen), asserting that the problem of Jesus is still topical, and present and present in the kerigma and faith. Recently it has been noticed (X. Leon-Dufour, B. Rigaux), that the paschal tradition in the New Testament views the resurrection in an integral way. The confessions of faith and the liturgical hymns contained in Paul's letters are the witnesses of the oldest Easter faith. The confessions of faith speak about the resurrection as about a real fact (the occurrence aspect), whereas the hymns laud the glory of the beloved through his resurrection Christ (the mystery aspect). The integral view of the resurrection consolidated in the New Testament allows a better understanding of Christ’s mystery and a deeper penetration into the secret of our redemption.
