Kulturotwórcza rola apokryfów biblijnych
Krawczyk, Roman (Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne Diecezji Siedleckiej im. Jana Pawła II, 2013)
The biblical Apocrypha date from 200 BC to 135 AD, i.e. between persecutions of Jews during the reigns of the Seleucid, and the Bar Kokhba revolt suppression. The Apocrypha were written in the Orthodox and in the heretic circles. Therefore, little attention was paid to them for a long time. It was only in the 19th century that the Apocrypha began to be studied in depth. The value of the Apocrypha is connected with the fact that they are a testimony to the thoughts, views and expectations typical of Judaism and Christianity in that exceptionally important historical period before and after Christ. The form and content of the Apocrypha were inspired by the biblical scriptures, and even though they contain untrue or legendary facts, in addition to the true ones, they still reflect the way of thinking and expectations of the people of that time. In this paper, the author focuses on a synthetic analysis of the biblical Apocrypha and their importance to the culture.
