Egzegetyczny testament Benedykta XVI Autorzy: Zatwardnicki, Sławomir Abstrakt: The author has treated Joseph Ratzinger’s – Benedict XVI’s writings as a particular’ exegetic will’ to be read and used In the contemporary exegesis. The Pope formed his thoughts from both the position of a believer holding important offices within the Church,and from the position of a researcher. According to the Bavarian theologian, hermeneutics of faith is the most appropriate hermeneutics to be accepted by historical/critical method. The author of the article notices that the Pope’s contribution is not merely recalling the earlier exegetic directions and is not the call for a balance in using scientific and theological methods in the interpretation of the Bible. It is something more – a call for a synthesis of a historical/critical method and hermeneutics of faith. Benedict XVI has suggested how to achieve this goal; such a synthesis should resemble the unification of God’s two natures In the person of the Son of God (without mingling and separating) 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/1187 Tytuł: Duch Święty a Kościół w ujęciu Benedykta XVI Autorzy: Warzeszak, Józef Abstrakt: The author of the article presents the role and place of the Holy Spirit in the Church on the basis of Pope Benedict XVI’s homilies, speeches, the Wednesday catecheses and fragments of the adhortation Sacramentum caritatis. The Pope – Joseph Ratzinger – presents the Christ-centred image of the Church with its rich pneumatological dimension . The role of the Holy Spirit in the Church is the consequence of His nature, who is He within the Holy Trinity and of the fact that He is sent by Christ, is called the Spirit of Christ, is the Spirit of the Truth that leads to the whole Truth, which is Christ. This aspect does not overshadow the Christ-oriented vision, what is more, makes it lively and present. Christ’s Church is enlivened by the Holy Spirit and should always be directed towards Christ, united to Him and God the Father through the Spirit. Benedict XVI’s teaching, based on the Revelation and Tradition, shows the following dimensions of the Church: apostolic, one but different, holy and common, the Church of prayer, united by the love of the Holy Spirit, missionary, lively, fulfilling man’s desire to live in unity, goodness, respect and co-operation . Hence, the Church of the Spirit cannot be separated from the Church of Christ or stand in its opposition. An important feature of Benedict XVI’s teaching on the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Church is showing Him as acting in concrete people seen as the members of the Church, always in the perspective of the whole Church.

The Pope pays attention to the subject of a homily,its functions and features. Following the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, he recalls the unity of God and His Word,which makes a preacher particularly responsible for what he says. Benedict XVI treats the homily as a part of the liturgy and points out its three functions: integrative, preparatory and updating. The preacher cannot make the Word of God his own ‘property’, spread his private opinions, focus on subjects not inspired by the liturgy or not corresponding with the Church’s teaching. The homily should be concrete, conveyed with the language to be clear for everyone and putting the person of Jesus in the centre. The preacher’s involvement in what he says is very important and the well updated Gospel strengthens the faith, brings joy and spurs into mission. Opis: Ks.

Teologiczne implikacje encykliki Spe salvi Autorzy: Smentek, Izabella Abstrakt: The article discusses the problem of hope, its foundation, subject and ecclesiastical aspect, as it was presented in Benedict XVI’s encyclical. Hope is not an ‘appendix’ to the Gospel message, but is a sign of Christianity. It is based on the conviction of God’s being almighty and the experience of meeting with Him, which results in trust without limits. The Holy Father defines hope through faith. He recalls the Letter to the Hebrews , where these terms occur interchangeably. The subject of hope is eternal life. A believer does not expect to gain the state of happiness for himself, but, above all, the Person of Christ. The Church has been formed as people who live in the hope and this dependence is mutual. One hope puts the Church together and the Church strengthens it and conveys to its members. Christian hope is not the product of human longings and imaginations. It begins and lasts through of the Holy Spirit, who can be called its Initiator. It is the Holy Spirit who makes human hope reach heaven. Man who lives with hope, lives in a different way. He does not care for things and matters that are unnecessary, defined by the Bible as hyparchonta. He is even not afraid of death. Hope guarantees spiritual liberty. It leads to perseverance, the apocalyptic hypomone. Christian liberty, along with fidelity and perseverance also brings hope to the world. It frees from fear and despair and the paralysing feeling of hopelessness. Phenomenology teaches about the relevance of Christian hope to an individual. Lack of a goal is contrary to humanity; when imposed, it turns against man and destroys him. The Pope’s encyclical provokes to reflection on the following selected themes: hope as a sign of Christianity; the Holy Spirit – the Initiator and the Giver of hope; the hope of immortality or resurrection? The ecclesiastical aspect of Christian hope; the dignity and responsibility of man saved in hope. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
