The presentation consists of four points. Firstly, historical development of canonical criticism is shown, first of all in B. S. Childs’ and J. A. Sanders’ works (1); next the most important methodological postulates of the new approach are presented: negative ones, i.e. criticism of historical-critical methodology (2), and positive ones, i.e. the most important norms of interpretation of biblical texts in the canonical approach (3). The article is concluded with a short discussion of critical and polemic opinions about B. S. Childs’ hermeneutic postulates (4). In the author’s opinion, the discussions led around the canonical approach reflect a much deeper problem that has been pervading Catholic and non-Catholic study of the Bible for years, namely, it makes exegetes realise the tension that exists between (post)positivist postulates of the historical-critical methodology and the inspired character of the biblical texts that are God’s living word. The only answer to the mentioned dichotomy may be a unanimous cooperation of the reason and faith in the domain of biblical studies (cf. John Paul II, the encyclical Fides et ratio, no 94).plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/hermeneutykabiblistykaBibliaPismo Święteinterpretacjainterpretacja Bibliihermeneutyka biblijnametodologiametodologia biblijnakanonypodejście kanonicznekrytyka kanonicznahermeneuticsbiblical studiesBibleinterpretationinterpretation of the Biblebiblical hermeneuticsmethodologybiblical methodologycanonscanonical approachcanonical criticismArticle
