Laskowski, Łukasz2023-02-072023-02-072015Veritati et Caritati, 2015, T. 5, s. 13-28.2354-0311http://theo-logos.pl/xmlui/handle/123456789/3597The article shows the paradox of presentation of God’s revelation as light covered with darkness. The original literary genre connected the coming of God with spectacular nature’s reaction. A dark storm cloud as the clothes of God is one of the elements in this metaphor. It can be compared with the Sinai experience, which has got different origin, but used the same metaphor of God’s light worn in darkness. This mythological in sources paradox has its meaning in the history of salvation. Dangerous holiness of God and His transcend mercy is hidden in the dark cloud. In the same time it takes from darkness the odium of evil and chaos which are hostile to God and His creation. The last element are the possible reflections in personal spirituality, which shows God as intense light making the impression of darkness at the beginning.plAttribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/pl/BógmiłosierdzieteofaniaświatłociemnośćKsięga PsalmówKsięga WyjściaKsięga Powtórzonego PrawaBibliaPismo ŚwięteStary TestamentPsałterzWyjściePs 18Ps 97Wj 20Pwt 4Pwt 5GodmercytheophanylightdarknessPsalmsBook of PsalmsBook of ExodusBook of DeuteronomyBibleOld TestamentArticle
