Rola aklamacji „Jezus Panem” w teologii kerygmatycznej. Studium na podstawie twórczości o. Raniero Cantalamessy

Abstract

Father Raniero Cantalamessa’s kerygmatic theology is characteristic of combining a dogmatic and pastoral dimension. Within this meaning the Italian theologian carries out an analysis and introduction of acclamation “Jesus is the Lord”. On one hand he points out the dogmatic dimension of creed and on the other hand he presents its pastoral perception. The analysis of the early church creed of “Jesus is the Lord” for the Italian preacher is the way to recognize Jesus, His identity, mission and justifcation to pro-existence and God’s will to human salvation. Moreover, after revelation of Jesus Christ presence and deeds, there is calling for human’s will to appreciate Jesus as his Lord which is a way to personal life conversion. The acclamation “Jesus is the Lord” is one of methods of kerygmatic prophesy. It influencies a pneumatological opening, choice of changable content of preaching, inculturation, using accurate language and, also or primarily, it points to the preacher prophesing words of God. The Italian teologian states that “the power given in the name of Jesus activates just through the preacher’s faith, not by means of usual teaching”. This is the reason why father Cantalamessa devotes much in an attempt to characterize the preacher, his attitude and formation on the base of cathegory “Jesus is the Lord”.
