Tytuł: Dogmat w historii Autorzy: Wołyniec, Włodzimierz Abstrakt: The article “Dogma from historical perspective” aims to present the complex and relational nature of the concept of dogma. The history of this Greek concept of δογμα, given in the first part of the article, demonstrates that the understanding of dogma has developed and deepened from patristic to modern times. Ultimately, the meaning of dogma in a broader and narrower sense is revealed by referring to Revelation, to Sacred Scripture and living Tradition, to the Church’s faith and salvific truth as well as to the phenomenon of human language. The reflection on the historicity of dogma in the second part of this article shows that not only does historicity not exclude dogmatic development, but it even assumes this development. Furthermore, the significance of dogma stems from the living Word of God, to which dogma is a witness and a transmitter.

Tytuł: Theologia perennis. O poznaniu teologicznym Autorzy: Szymik, Jerzy Abstrakt: Faith, which, by its very nature, wants to know the One it loves, results in theology – a love-inspired rational reflection on its own content. Hence, it is the guarantee and the motive for the permanence of theology as a cognitive eff ort, humbly and courageously reaching the Mystery of God Himself, who is the first to be known as the truth to the one who seeks for love and to subject what they see to the judgement of reason. In confrontation with the contemporary concept of epistemology, which considers only mathematical and natural cognition to be scientifically practised, theology convinces about the limits of reason and the methodologically necessary role of living, ecclesiastical faith. Such instrumentarium ensures a unique synthesis of objectivity and subjectivity in the cognitive process – the knowledge of the truth about reality demands personal involvement. Theology, which in fact values human reason, allowing it to reach out to the reality of the highest rank – God Himself – appears to be a great opportunity for today’s mankind, plagued by spiritual and intellectual confusion.

Tytuł: Teologia jako wiedza praktyczna Autorzy: Sienkiewicz, Edward Abstrakt: Regardless of the solutions to the problem posed in this way, at least one is beyond discussion: in the practical dimension of systematic reflection of faith, it is about knowledge. Besides, it is theology that is the most appropriate way to defend knowledge against one-sided and partial approaches. It is determined by two issues that constitute an interpretative key in solving the problem posed: sense and context, as well as – in this perspective – two dimensions: cognition and free will. Therefore, in order to define the nature and importance of theology as practical knowledge, the problem of utilitarianism in science as such must first be solved. The turning point here is the Marxist appreciation of revolutionary praxis, which gives philosophy a new and practical meaning. It posed a particular challenge to theology and the objective nature of truth as a fundamental question in science. Both the Bible and the Christian systematic reflection of faith developed over the centuries clearly show that faith in Almighty God has a practical character. This means that faith cannot be reduced to knowledge only, just as faith cannot give up the problem of truth. In this sense, theology as practical knowledge, that is, on the basis of faith, a specific spiritual attitude and the choices that flow from it, is a proper understanding of the necessary participation of human reason, revelation and life in this event. From a Christological perspective, the best definition of theology as practical knowledge are the words from John’s Gospel: “I am the way, the truth and the life” (Jn 14: 6). In such an approach, the practical dimension of reflection on faith is simply love – first as the perfect fulfillment of the Law (Rom 13:10), and then as caritas, that is, a gift that does not retreat from renunciation and suffering. This means the necessity in this problem of the revealed truth about the Holy Trinity, in which the relationships of giving and accepting in love are difficult to consider theoretically. Just as practical and theoretical knowledge should not be opposed, knowledge and wisdom should not be confronted or separated. For theology, as wisdom, not only knows, but also knows why it knows and what to do with what it knows; not only poses the question of how to live, but also answers them. In other words, the practical dimension of systematic reflection of faith is essential for theology to be not only debatable, but also kneeling and working.

Tytuł: Modele myślenia teologicznego Autorzy: Krupka, Aneta Abstrakt: The article attempts to present the advantages of using models in theology in the context of contemporary methodological challenges. The use of renewed hermeneutics can help to reorganize theological thinking to avoid both treating the content of faith in a matter-of-fact manner and reducing it to personal experience. At the same time, fruits of this thinking can be presented in the form of theological models that are simplified representations of a more complex structure. They must not be overly reductive but as holistic, multifaceted, dynamic, and practical as possible. One of the important proposals is the nuptial model developed by Cardinal Angelo Scola. Using this model seems to be inspiring when applied to support, among other things, the correct understanding of sacramentology.
