Avian Theology of Johann Heinrich Zorn
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2021)
Johann Heinrich Zorn (1698-1748) was a pastor in Bavaria and an amateur but competent ornithologist. Following the many physico-theological books published in the 18th century, he wrote his Petinotheologie in which he used ornithological knowledge for theological and spiritual purposes. He included extensive descriptions of the anatomy, physiology, living and migration patterns of birds to show the orderliness and harmony in each aspect of avian lives, which was for him an undeniable proof of God’s wisdom, power, and goodness.
Botanical Theology of Julius Bernhard von Rohr
Drozdek, Adam (Papieski Wydział Teologiczny we Wrocławiu, 2021)
Julius Bernhard von Rohr (1688–1742) was a lawyer by profession and an amateur but competent botanist. A religious man, he considered the study of nature to be a way of appreciating it as a work of God to find a way to God or to deepen one’s religious faith. This combination of natural science and theology found the best expression in his Phyto-Theologia in which he described in detail the botanical world to show it as an expression of divine power, wisdom, and goodness. He described in great detail various plants, their parts, the uses of plants for humans and animals, and the purposefulness manifesting itself in all aspects of the flora. Von Rohr addressed the problem of theodicy as related to the botanical world and the problem of an interplay between theology and science.
Charles-Claude Genest: Cartesianism and Theology
Drozdek, Adam (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2022)
Charles-Claude Genest was a Catholic priest who in his versified work, Principles of philosophy, proposed evidence of the existence of God and of the immortality of the soul. In this undertaking he used as his philosophical foundation the ideas of Descartes, in particular, his cogito principle, the ontological argument for the existence of God, and his physical theory of vertices and the plenum. However, Genest used in his arguments to a much larger extent physico-theological ideas than Descartes did.
Christoph Christian Sturm’s Theological Reflections on Nature
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego, 2023)
Christoph Christian Sturm był osiemnastowiecznym duchownym niemieckim żywo zainteresowanym wiedzą przyrodniczą. Jako pastor wykorzystywał tę wiedzę do celów teologicznych: ludzie mogą i powinni wzmacniać swoją wiarę, badając Boże dzieła w przyrodzie, aby zobaczyć wyraźne znaki Jego mądrości, mocy i opatrzności odciśnięte w tych dziełach. Sturm także obszernie dyskutował problem teodycei, wskazując, że dobro zdecydowanie przeważa nad złem występującym w przyrodzie oraz w życiu społecznym i indywidualnym, a to, co postrzegane jest jako zło, to środki Boże użyte w pożytecznych celach.
Cosmic Theology of Johann Gottlieb Walpurger
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2022)
Johann Gottlieb Walpurger was a representative of a physico-theological movement in Germany. He was interested in proving the existence of God and the nature of His attributes from the investigation of nature in general and of insects and bees in particular. Not a researcher himself, he relied on the publishes scholarly records to represent the state of the art knowledge about the physical world. However, his main emphasis was on the spiritual application of the knowledge gained from science.
Feofan Prokopovich: from theology to politics
Drozdek, Adam (Gdańskie Seminarium Duchowne, 2010)
Prokopovich began his ecclesiastical career as a lecturer of the Kiev academy where he taught many subjects and left extensive lecture published posthumously in a multivolume Christianae orthodoxae theologiae. The paper presents some of his views concerning the defense of the authority of the Bible and the need for its literal interpretation; some positive characterizations of God’s attributes; the creation and the makeup of the world; the position of man in the universe; and the problem of eschatology. After Prokopovich was summoned by Peter I to St. Petersburg, he gradually abandoned theology and philosophy and concentrated on political issues and on justification of submitting the church to the power of the state. This culminated in the Spiritual regulation which spelled the end of an independent church in Russia.

Hymn Kleantesa
Drozdek, Adam (Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2002)
Cleanthes’ hymn is unique among extant fragments of the Early Stoa in respect to its form and its content. Cleanthes says that poetry is closest to theological truth and the truth that Cleanthes brings to the fore more than other Stoics is the personal character of God. God is a person and men can, and ought to, treat him accordingly by directing their prayers and worship to him. The hymn indicates that the Stoics were not fully satisfied with the discussion of theological matters in philosophical treatises in the context of physics, cosmology, and logic. The knowledge of logical laws allows man to know Logos, the knowledge of physics leads to the recognition of God as an active principle and designing fire. To see what is a proper relation of man to God, a literary form should be used in which the personal character of this relation is best seen. Cleanthes’ hymn is saturated with the Stoic philosophy, but it also goes beyond this philosophy by indicating its inadequacy in respect to fulfilling spiritual needs of man. With this hymn, Cleanthes becomes a forerunner of the Roman Stoicism with its emphasis placed on religion and ethics.
Istota cła antydumpingowego jako instrumentu prawnofinansowego ochrony gospodarki Unii Europejskiej – wybrane zagadnienia intertemporalne
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Diecezjalne Adalbertinum, 2018)
The entrepreneur introducing into the European Union market goods covered with pending anti-dumping investigation should be aware that the introduction of such goods is related with registration thereof and, at a later date, with the possibility to apply increased anti-dumping duty. Measures such as goods registration and temporary anti-dumping duties allow reaching antidumping proceedings’ objectives comprising the European Union market protection against detrimental practices incompliant with the market economy principles. Anti-dumping duty collected by customs authorities of Member States constitutes a legal-financial sanction consisting in applying selective protection that is, directed against import from strictly defined countries, and is oriented on a specific group of products or even on a single product. In comparison with traditional market protection instruments, anti-dumping customs are more flexible and can be implemented unilaterally. Deliberations elaborated herein are aimed at discussing the issue of stipulating anti-dumping customs in inter-temporal understanding.
Johann Gottlob Krüger on science and religion
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Archidiecezji Przemyskiej, 2023)
Johann Gottlob Krüger was an eighteenth-century German physician and naturalist and an author of scholarly works and works popularizing science. He was also keenly interested in theology and in the age of popularity of physico-theology, he could easily use his scholarly knowledge in pursuing some theological issues. In particular, as presented in this article, he wrote about the Leibnizian thesis about this world being the best possible and about theodicy.
Kozlovskii’s secretive Catholicism
Drozdek, Adam (Gdańskie Seminarium Duchowne, 2011)
Kozlovski was one of the most widely known Russian diplomats of the nineteenth century. He converted to Catholicism at some unspecified time. He kept his religious convictions private and very little expression of his theological views can be found in his writings. He made in them some terse theological remarks and he was apparently interested in the political and social, rather than spiritual, aspects of Catholicism. Like Chaadaev and Gagarin, he spoke about conversion of Russia to Catholicism as a way from its spiritual, social, and economic backwardness, but he saw such a prospect as hopeless.

Madame Swetchine and Her Faith
Drozdek, Adam (Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2011)
Zofia Swieczina (1782-1857) od dzieciństwa związana była z dworem carskim. W 1815 przyjęła katolicyzm i wkrótce potem wyemigrowała wraz z mężem do Francji. W Paryżu otworzyła salon uczęszczany przez wielu znanych intelektualistów, gdzie dyskutowano przede wszystkim kwestie religijne i sprawy związane z polityką kościelną. Swieczina nic nie opublikowała za swego życia, lecz pozostawiła po sobie ogromną ilość notatek i listów. Była świetnie oczytana i interesowała się wszelkimi aspektami teologii, lecz nie pozostawiła po sobie systematycznego wykładu teologii. W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowane zostały niektóre tematy dyskutowane przez Swieczinę: kwestia stosunku człowieka do Boga, sprawa relacji między Kościołem Katolickim a Kościołem Prawosławnym oraz kwestia uniwersalizmu Kościoła. Artykuł prezentuje również gwałtowną i wrogą reakcję w Rosji na wydanie przez de Falloux pism i listów Swiecziny.
Noël-Antoine Pluche and the Spectacularity of Nature
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2020)
The article present views of abbé Pluche whose books were very popular in 18th century France. In his Spectacle of nature and The history of the heavens he wanted to stir in his readers an interest in the world around them. Nature is a book written by God, the creator of this nature, and by reading it properly, people can see the providential care of God. To combat atomism and randomness, Pluche introduced in his physics many elementary substances as foundational elements, of which particularly important was light. Pluche devoted considerable attention to the problem of the origin of religion and religious rites. For Pluche, monotheism was the original religious faith and idolatry was a later religious development which was basically a perversion of monotheism.
On Sanctifying Cyberspace
Drozdek, Adam (Gdańskie Seminarium Duchowne, 2014)
Because of the ubiquity and usefulness of the internet it is sometimes deemed that not only the internet is a potent technological force, but that it is sacred. Views of some proponents of this view are critically analyzed. Paper concludes that for a believer, the source of all that exists is God and in this sense the internet is God’s gift or at least the result of human ingenuity which comes from God. The internet by itself is morally and religiously neutral and it is up to the moral dimension whether it is used for good or for ill.
Peter Ahlwardt’s Theology of Thunder
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu Szczecińskiego, 2020)
Peter Ahlwardt, an eighteenth-century professor at the University in Greifswald, is primarily remembered as the author of the Bronto-theology, in which he presented his thunder-theology – an idea which belongs to a very strong physico-theology movement at that time. This article situates this very small portion of physico-theology in the context of Ahlwardt’s philosophy and theology. In his epistemology, Ahlwardt stressed the need for reason in understanding and appreciating revelation. Conversely, he also required that reason should be illuminated by the Holy Spirit, thereby stating that the revelation is the final authority. Ahlwardt rejected the idea of an inborn concept of God – thus, the only way open to the knowledge of God is a posteriori from God’s creation. Ahlwardt proved the existence of God from self-awareness. Creation exists to show God’s infinite perfections, and humans, as rational creatures, should investigate nature to see these perfections and learn about the will of God. Like other physico-theologians, Ahlwardt used his investigation of thunder and lightning to show that they are manifestations of God’s attributes. Relying on the perfection and the unity of God’s attributes, Ahlwardt argued that these investigated atmospheric phenomena are as much the manifestations of God’s wrath as of His love; they make people see the greatness of God’s splendour and make them think about God’s perfections.

Polemics of Arsenii Matseevich
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2015)
Arsenii Matseevich, an important ecclesiastical figure, defended the doctrine of Orthodox Church from schismatics, in particular, from attacks of Ioasif, who, among others, wanted to abolish the Orthodox priesthood. Matseevich was also involved in polemics with Lutherans who criticized Iavorskii’s monumental The Rock of faith. The article discusses arguments Matseevich used against schismatics and Lutherans. Matseevich was an isolated vocal voice that opposed the idea of secularization of the Church. The article describes arguments he used to retain the dignity of the Church and even to restore it to the former glory. For all his efforts Catherine II put him in prison where he died.
Pososhkov’s narrow path
Drozdek, Adam (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Papieskiej Akademii Teologicznej w Krakowie, 2012)
The paper presents Ivan Pososhkov (1652–1726). He was a Russian merchant, an entrepreneur, and a landowner. His major work was titled The Book on Poverty and Wealth (1724, published in 1842). The author’s aim is to show Pososhkov’s thought about the schismatics, Protestants, particularly, the Lutherans, and the clergy. One of the parts is dedicated to Pososhkov’s vision of the place of piety in the personal life. All these parts show Pososhkov as a self-appointed teacher whose intention was the defense of traditional Orthodox faith of the official Orthodox Church.
