    Metoda geometryczna (wykresograficzna) w teologii
    Drączkowski, Franciszek (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2006)
    The geometric method, presented in 30 parallel graphic designs, makes use of two basic figures, i.e. a circle and a triangle. The symbolical image of Triune God is an equilateral triangle written in a circle; two arrows are added on the circle, which symbolise the dynamic dimension of God’s love. In order to picture the Incarnation of the Son of God another triangle and a circle stems out of the above “structure.” The resulting “geometric structure,” composed of two circles and two triangles linked internally in the vertical position, is an image of Christ, the Incarnate God. He is all in His Church (Christus totus', the image of the vine and the branches – J 15:5), and the structure became the main core of further graphs. In the ecclesial modifications that follow there appear three trapeziums. Bearing in mind the element of indeterminacy and uncognizability, the graphs alternately apply either a solid or broken line. Owing to the geometric figures, theology gains accuracy and precision, things attributed to the empirical sciences. The geometric method implements, in a definite dimension, the Cartesian postulates on the theological ground (“to learn obviously,” “clearly and distinctly”). The “geometric method” plays a threefold function: 1. it pictures the truths of faith; 2. corrects the errors in theology, or in the awareness of the faithful (anthropomorphism, tritheism, crypto-arianism and others); 3. motivates the choice of the ideal of sanctity (friendship with God) as the surest way to happiness. The method under analysis, due to the didactic value of geometric presentations (simplicity, clarity, distinctness, concision), may be commonly applied in theology, religion instruction, and pastoral work.
