Kardynała Ratzingera teoria sztuki i muzyki biblijnej

Abstract

In our times Joseph Ratzinger is considered as the greatest theologian among cardinals and the most prominent cardinal among theologians. As a professor of theology, but not only, he wrote many books, e.g. A New Song for the Lord: Faith in Christ and Liturgy Today, where he shows relations between liturgy and music of the church. The article by Robert Kaczorowski tells about Ratzinger’s biblical context of art and music. The author presents the analysis of Ps 47, 8 and the evolution of Hebrew’s word maskil to Greek’s word psalate. Kaczorowski adds that the biblical theory of art and music is still current.
