Kręcidło, Janusz2024-11-152024-11-152019The Biblical Annals, 2019, T. 9, nr 1, s. 177-189.2451-21682083-2222https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/23594The article develops the concept of true witness of the four canonical Gospels to Jesus Christ the Incarnated Word. The starting point is presentation of the teaching of the Pontifical Biblical Commission (PBC) in the document The Inspiration and Truth of the Sacred Scripture (2014) about the witness of the Bible, especially the Gospels. The canonical Gospels are considered in it as main witness of the life and teaching of the Incarnated Word. The article demonstrates that the PBC repeats here the teaching of the conciliar constitution Dei Verbum (1965). Argumentation in the article emphasizes the historical reliability of the transmission of the life and teaching of the historical Jesus in the Church tradition: historical Jesus – eye witnesses – written Gospels – authoritative interpretation in the Church. The canonical Gospels are not primarily literary texts but a truthful registration of the witness of faith of Jesus’ believers. Consequently, the hermeneutic of faith is the only methodology that is apt to explain and understand the true nature of the Scriptures.plCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwabiblical hermeneuticscanonical Gospelshistorical truth of the Gospelwitness of the Church traditionhermeneutics of faithIncarnate WordGospel of MatthewGospel of MarkGospel of LukeGospel of Johnbiblical studieshistoricityahistoricityhermeneuticsfaithtradition of the Churchtruthhistorical truthBibleNew Testamenthermeneutyka biblijnaEwangelie kanonicznehistoryczna prawda Ewangeliiświadectwo tradycji Kościołahermeneutyka wiarySłowo WcieloneEwangelia według św.
