Bodhidharma i Paweł. Buddyjskie i chrześcijańskie uzasadnienia postaw życiowych
Lorek, Piotr (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
This article juxtaposes the main theses of living as presented at the turn of the 5th and 6th centuries by Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of the Buddhist tradition of chan (zen), included in the work attributed to him entitled Outline o f Practice, with appropriately selected extracts from the epistolary legacy of Paul of Tarsus, who lived in the 1st century AD and is considered a co-creator of Christian thought. First, the Buddhist concepts of the non-substantiality of reality, karma and variability are analysed, as well as their appropriate influence on the attitude of life. Next, Christian beliefs about the essence of people, being in Adam, transitoriness, imminent resurrection and experience of grace are discussed. These beliefs are also translated into an appropriate attitude towards life. The comparison of the thoughts of Bodhidharma and Paul indicates the worldview differences between them, but also selected functional convergences. The work also shows the convergence of life attitudes resulting from two different systems of religious thought.

Ewangelia Izajasza w Liście do Rzymian
Lorek, Piotr (Uniwersytet Opolski. Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego, 2006)
It may be observed that Apostle Paul explicitly refers to the concept of the Gospel (using a noun ϵύαγγϵλιον and a verb ϵύαγγϵλίζω) in the Letter to Romans in its strategic rhetorical points (inter alia at the beginnings and ends of the ancient epistolary components). This suggests that the theme of the letter is the Gospel. The question arises about the source for Paul’s formulation of the Gospel. The article proposes that it comes from the book of Isaiah. The argument is that in the surroundings of the passages in which Paul directly mentions the Gospel one finds quotations from Isaiah, and in one case the quotation from LXX Isaiah itself contains the verb ϵύαγγϵλίζω. Once this compository aspect is noticed, what remains is to interpret Paul’s Gospel fragments in the light of the citations from and allusions to Isaiah as well as in the general message of the prophet. The intertextual analysis provides a typological picture of the return of Israel from the exile in Babylon with its various topics, that function as a type for Paul’s Gospel. This typological interpretation allows the reader to comprehend the nuances of the presentation of the Gospel in the Letter to Romans more clearly.
Interbyt, uważność i takość – mistrz zen, Thich Nhat Hanh, cytuje Biblię
Lorek, Piotr (Papieski Wydział Teologiczny we Wrocławiu, 2017)
Thich Nhat Hanh, well known Vietnamese Buddhist monk and Zen master in his bestselling book Living Buddha, Living Christ aims at showing that differences between Buddhism and Christianity are of secondary importance. In order to show it he provides his reinterpretations of various Bible passages. The article aims at showing that Thich Nhat Hanh’s creative readings of Christian Scriptures are based on Buddhist concepts of interbeing, mindfulness and suchness, which cannot be reconciled without significant theological and philosophical modifications with Christian perspective on existence of individual personal beings (both divine and human), that are not just manifestations of one ultimate reality, but have their own individual nature.

Retoryka opisów śmierci Heroda Agryppy I
Lorek, Piotr (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2009)
Accounts of the last moments of the life of an individual, and his or her death itself inevitably incorporate an interpretatory dimension. This is caused by the selectiveness of the representation, in which some facts are emphasized and others, out of necessity, are ignored. Ancient historiography frequently undertook to note the decease of a monarch. A relation of the death of a king, who was a representative of one of the main social institutions, became an opportunity to state his importance, which in turn functions as a means of propagating specific values and worldviews, and a way to strengthen the identity of a given social group. Particular accounts of a ruler’s death thus contain a persuasive dimension, by which the authors argue their own version of events and perspective. This rhetoric may be observed in the selected descriptions of the decease of Herod Agrippa, a Jewish ruler from the 1st century AD. The Christian relation from the Acts of Apostles and the Jewish versions from Josephus with later reference to them by Eusebius of Caesarea will be discussed. This analysis will not attempt to reconstruct the real history of the last moments of Agrippa on the basis of differing accounts. It will rather aim at underlining the multiple means of persuasion employed by individual authors. The paper will also tough upon the phenomenon of auto persuasion of the reader. A contemporary reader comparing available descriptions of Herod’s death observes new connections between them, which provide the basis for new meanings not present individually in the sources themselves. Ultimately it turns out that it is not only the separate accounts which aim to convince, but also their juxtaposition by the reader which also contains a persuasive dimension.
