A Critical Edition and Philological Analysis of the Text of Isa 44:6–45:25 Based on the Coptic Manuscript sa 52 (M 568), Other Manuscripts Written in the Sahidic Coptic Dialect, and on the Greek Text of the Septuagint
Bąk, Tomasz (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2020)
This paper contains a critical edition and philological analysis of Isa 44:6–45:25, which were worked out primarily on the basis of the Coptic manuscript sa 52.2 and other available manuscripts of the Sahidic dialect. Particular attention is paid to these verses since they occur only in manuscript sa 52.2 and so far have never been published. The first part presents general information on the fragment of codex sa 52 (M 568) that includes the discussed text. The next part provides a list and brief characteristics of the other manuscripts containing at least some verses of Isa 44:6–45:25. The focal section of the paper is a presentation of the Coptic text (in the Sahidic dialect) and its translation into English. The differences between the Sahidic text and the Greek text of the Septuagint, on which the Coptic translation is based, have been pointed out in tables. They include additions and omissions in the Coptic translation, lexical changes, and semantic differences. Finally, the paper is devoted to difficult philological questions observed in the Coptic text itself or in its references to the Greek text of the LXX.
A Few Remarks about the Lectionary after Fifty Years of Existence
Sławiński, Henryk (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2022)
This paper aims to present the historical development of the lectionary for use in the Holy Mass, then to summarize the principles of the present lectionary and its ecumenical meaning, more specifically, its influence on the protestant lectionary. Based on the historical facts and the recent documents of the Holy See, the proposal for partial renewal of the Sunday Lectionary will be discussed. The main method used in the study is the analysis of the historical sources, documents of the Holy See, and theological studies. The critical analysis and comparative method will lead to the synthetic presentation of postulates of the partial renewal of the present lectionary after fifty years of usage in the liturgy. The analysis conclusions provide suggestions for the enrichment of the lectionary: firstly, with the passages from the Old Testament read in their whole context, not only according to the harmonization with the text of the Gospel; secondly, with the thematic selection of the second reading compatible with the first reading, and the Gospel reading; thirdly, with the texts pointing out the role of women in the history of salvation.
A New Personalistic Philosophy Based on Hans Eduard Hengstenberg’s Interpretation of Max Scheler’s System
Pasterczyk, Piotr (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2020)
The article discusses the possibility of a new personalistic anthropology rooted in philosophia perennis and modern phenomenology, based on the thoughts of German anthropologist Hans Eduard Hengstenberg. Unlike Wojtyła and Stein, who did not create a new synthesis based on Husserl’s or Scheler’s phenomenology and the metaphysics of Thomas Aquinas, Hengstenberg was able to create an original concept of the human person involving metaphysical and phenomenological inspirations. It is personalism, based on the phenomenological theory of a spiritual act (Scheler) and the metaphysical theory of constitution (Plato, St. Augustine). According to Hengstenberg, the possibility of a new personalistic philosophy starts with a phenomenological analysis of three basic attitudes of human behavior: consensual to the object of cognition and emotion, contrary to the object of cognition and emotion, and utilitarian. The metaphysical heart of Hengstenberg’s personalism forms the theory of the metaphysical constitution of the spirit, body and personalistic principle.
A Positive Side to Apophaticism: Prolegomena
Gilski, Marek (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2023)
The article synthetically presents positive aspects of apophaticism. It discusses its apologetic role, its importance in defending against magical thinking, its focus on experience, its openness to pluralism, and its inspirational role for a variety of disciplines in delimiting their cognitive boundaries. Some of the most important conclusions are: a) apophaticism played an important role in the early days of Christianity in polemics against both pagan cults and magical tendencies; b) already in ancient Greece apophaticism influenced the search not only for symbolic interpretations of Homer’s poems but also for religious experience; c) the limits of cognition discovered by theology are becoming a contemporary experience of other sciences (mathematics, physics).
A Priestly Perspective on the Representation of History in the Praise of the Ancestors (Sir 44–49)
Pudełko, Jolanta Judyta (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2023)
The article aims to synthetically present the idea of priesthood in the Praise of the Ancestors (Sir 44–49), a text that contains a theological reflection and description of selected characters in the biblical story from the point of view of a sage living at the turn of the 3rd-2nd centuries BC. First, the successive stages of history depicted by Ben Sira and their possible connections to priesthood are outlined. Then, priesthood as viewed by Ben Sira was presented using specific examples of individuals known from the history of biblical Israel (Aaron, Phinehas, David, Samuel, Joshua son of Jehozadak). However, kings from the Davidic dynasty no longer reigned after the Babylonian exile, even though the sage compares the governor Zerubbabel, who came from the House of David, with the high priest Joshua, son of Jehozadak. The sign of the covenant, however, remained the high priest. Anonymous references to women in the Praise of the Ancestors also feature references to the reality of the cult. Closing the Praise of the Ancestors, Adam is a type of priest that foreshadows the story’s culmination in the description of the high priest Simon II (Sir 50:1–21). The priesthood in Ben Sira’s view is the keystone that connects the past to the present.
„A światłość w ciemności świeci...”. Konfrontacja światłości z ciemnością w Ewangelii Janowej
Piekarz, Danuta (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2016)
Symbolika światłości i ciemności, dobrze zna na autorom Starego Testamentu, występuje szczególnie często w Ewangelii Janowej. Łatwo jest odgadnąć, że dla Jana symbol światła odnosi się do działania Chrystusa w świecie, trudniej jest dokładnie sprecyzować symbolikę – zdecydowanie negatywną – ciemności; opinie komentatorów są bardzo podzielone. Biblijny obraz światła łączy w sobie nierozdzielnie wymiar poznawczy i moralny, światło pozwala poznać Boga, wskazuje drogę do Niego, a zarazem odsłania prawdę o ludzkich czynach, dlatego sprawcy zła unikają światła, ukrywając w mroku swoje czyny. W teologii Janowej męka Jezusa jest ukazana jako czas działania ciemności, jednak jej zwycięstwo jest tylko pozorne i bardzo krótkie: po nocy męki nadchodzi świt zmartwychwstania.
A Year in Stanisław Grzepski’s (1524–1570) De multiplici siclo et talento hebraico
Linke, Waldemar (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2023)
The article explores Stanisław Grzepski’s workshop of biblical exegesis and his hermeneutics. By analyzing his analysis of the system of biblical measurements and his views on the concept of the year in the Jewish-biblical world – as derived and reconstructed on the basis of textual comparison of the Hebrew, Greek and Latin versions of the Scripture, along with thorough mathematical calculations – one can perceive Grzepski’s approach to the Bible. His hermeneutics, seen against the background of the presuppositions of medieval and Renaissance exegesis, allow the author of the article to draw certain conclusions concerning the threats that also modern exegesis should be cautious of.
Aaron jako nauczyciel świadectw (Syr 45,17)
Pudełko, Jolanta Judyta (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2015)
In the Greek version of the Book of Sirach the term μαρτύριον (testimony) appears twice. Besides Sir 36:14, the word appears also in the Praise of the Ancestors in reference to Aaron (Sir 45:17). Moses’ brother is described there as the one who is to teach Jacob the testimonies (διδάξαι τὸν Ιακωβ τά μαρτύρια), an expression that is missing from all other Biblical texts referring to Aaron. Therefore, the context of this expression, i.e. the praise of Aaron in Sir 45:6-22, is first analyzed and then various textual versions of Sir 45:17 are compared. Understanding the meaning of the term testimony in this context is made possible by the analysis of this word in other Biblical contexts, both those connected with the history of Aaron and the Sinai covenant as well as other, unrelated texts. Finally, the expression referring to Aaron is placed within the times of Sirach and those of the translator of the Greek version of the book. The key to understanding Sir 45:17 is found in the function and significance of the post-exile high priest. He is – as understood in the Book of Sirach – the only mediator between God and his people, and thus becomes the living symbol of covenant, responsible for transmitting testimonies: the Word of God, the content and requirements implied by the covenant made with God.

Abraham’s Trials in Ancient and Medieval Jewish Writings
Kaczorowska, Katarzyna Miriam (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2021)
The article presents a brief overview of the Jewish rabbinical resources with regard to the Patriarch Abraham and his life, viewed as a series of trials. From the second century BCE, the Jewish authors were recognizing numerous events in Abraham’s life as ordeals, gradually more and more difficult and challenging. Through them God put Abraham and his faith to the test in order to assure that his election of Abraham was right. On the basis of The Book of Jubilees and several rabbinical works, including Pirqe Abot, Pirqe Rabbi Eliezer and Abot de Rabbi Nathan as well as the writings of Jewish medieval commentators (esp. Maimonides and Rashi), the paper in detail analyzes the concept of these trials and the differences that can be identified in the sources concerning their identification and order. Firstly, the reasons of the rabbinical commentators’ particular interest paid to Abraham have been given. Subsequently, the concept of his numerous trials, identified by the rabbis and Jewish scholars, have been discussed, followed by a thorough presentation of selected rabbinic works and discussions whether the experiences of Abraham’s life should and/or should not be regarded as trials.
Abraham. Ten, który wbrew nadziei uwierzył nadziei
Pawłowski, Zdzisław (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2006)
In this article entitled 'Abraham: the one who against hope, in hope believed' we have tried to define hope in terms of narrative transformation of Abraham's identity. Abraham as a member of a genealogical tree of Terah lived in a history and a world of his father, unable to live his own independent life (Gen 11,27-32). Only the word of God's promise (Gen 12,1-3) has been powerful enough to turn him into a new person, opened towards future. In this process hope bas been playing an indispensable role. Shaped by the promise iftransgresses every historical circumstances towards eschatological goal.
„Aby służył i strzegł” (Rdz 2,15). Praca jako powołanie człowieka w świetle Rdz 1-2
Napora, Krzysztof (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
Human work is commonly considered to be a painful consequence of the first couple disobedience in the garden of Eden. In our short essay we are trying analyze the issue of human work as it is described in the creation narratives in Gen. 1-2. The starting point for this analysis is God’s work of creation. It designates the point of reference for every human activity. In various pictures these introductory chapters of Genesis express the idea that human being is created and called to cooperate with God-Creator in God’s work of creation. Human efforts to dominate and to subdue the earth should aim at unceasing actualization of God’s plan of salvation for the world.

Akty homoseksualne w ocenie pisarzy wczesnochrześcijańskich
Czyżewski, Bogdan (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2021)
Pisarze wczesnochrześcijańscy, oprócz poruszania problemów natury doktrynalnej i egzegetycznej, wypowiadali się także na tematy etyczne, a wśród nich dokonywali oceny aktów homoseksualnych. Nie poświęcili im osobnych dzieł, raczej były to głosy okazjonalne, co nie oznacza, że w Kościele pierwszych wieków problem ten nie istniał i go bagatelizowano. Najczęściej ocena aktów homoseksualnych pojawiała się w literaturze patrystycznej w związku z komentowaniem tekstów biblijnych, w których tego rodzaju zachowania były wspominane, i zawsze była zdecydowanie negatywna. Temat ten występuje także w regułach zakonnych, w których jednoznacznie homoseksualizm był potępiany. W artykule zostaną zanalizowane teksty wybranych pisarzy Kościoła wschodniego i zachodniego, w których dokonują oni oceny moralnej aktów homoseksualnych.
Anatomia gniewu według Bazylego Wielkiego
Paczkowski, Mieczysław Celestyn (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2018)
Artykuł otwiera przedstawienie mowy Przeciwko gniewliwym Bazylego Wielkiego w kontekście jego nauczania praktyczno-moralnego. Następnie zostają ukazane przyczyny i objawy gniewu. Poprzez przybliżenie kwestii niebezpiecznego uczucia Kapadocejczyk wyczula swoich słuchaczy na to, by unikać tego zgubnego grzechu, który czyni człowieka szalonym i powoduje jego zezwierzęcenie Porównuje człowieka ogarniętego złością do niebezpiecznych i jadowitych zwierząt, osób dotkniętych chorobą psychiczną lub opętanych przez demona. Za pomocą sugestywnych metafor kaznodzieja ukazuje destrukcyjną siłę gniewu i jego zgubne konsekwencje. Uznaje jednak pozytywne jego skutki, gdyż to uczucie, odpowiednio ukierunkowane i odmienione, może służyć wielu dobrym aktom. Chrześcijanie mogą posłużyć się tym impulsem w walce ze złem. Środkami zaradczymi przeciwko gniewowi są: spokój, posłuszeństwo Słowu Bożemu, naśladowanie przykładu Chrystusa i postaci biblijnych.
