Szymik, Jerzy2023-07-282023-07-282012Roczniki Teologii Dogmatycznej, 2012, T. 4(59), s. 153-166.2080-6345http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/9773J. Ratzinger/Benedict XVI indicates existential and moral conditions underlying our understanding of God: our original experience in relations with others, the first image of God, instilled in us, but also our personal decisions, including ethical choices. Finally, a man seeks the source of security or a threat to his/her own freedom in God’s look (the Eye of Providence). Consequently he/she accepts or rejects God as a witness of his/her own fate. The Pope convinces that a humble consent for being visible constitutes a sign of conversion, which in turn leads to understanding God a Faithful Witness, who can see and save us.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/teologiaepistemologiaświadkowieświadectwomiłośćdoświadczenierelacjepoznanierozumienieszczęściegrzech pierworodnydecyzjanawrócenieBenedykt XVIJoseph Ratzingerpapieżekapłaniduchowieństwometafizykatheologyepistemologywitnessestestimonyloveexperiencerelationshipscognitionunderstandinghappinessoriginal sindecisionconversionBenedict XVIclergypriesthoodmetaphysicsepistemologia teologicznatheological epistemologyArticle
