Żydowskie święto Pięćdziesiątnicy w perspektywie św. Łukasza (Dz 2, 1-41)
Mielcarek, Krzysztof (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2003)
There seem to be a little awareness among contemporary Christians of Jewish feasts and their sense in the time of Jesus Christ. This lack is a rather important one, since the New Testament writers wrote their texts having full knowledge about important Jewish customs and convictions. Lucan way of picturing the day of outpouring the Holy Spirit on the Church is a good example of it. Thus the article gives a number of possible connotations for Jewish Pentecost developed in the time of Jesus and subsequently refers various contemporary interpretations of Acts 2. The final stage of the paper is an attempt to juxtapose both groups in in order to show possible common ground for Jewish liturgical-theological sense of Pentecost and its Lucan counterpart. Such juxtaposing of material might help to discover Luke's genuine motives hidden behind his narrative of Pentecost in Acts 2.
