Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI treats the words from the Prologue of the Gospel of John: “In the beginning was the Word (Logos)” as the fundamental principle of the entire reality, one that determines the essential, ontic rationality/ meaningfulness of the universe because it points to its beginning – the Creator. Meaning is not a result but the principle of existence or action – by virtue of creation itself, and Christology makes us aware that meaning is, in essence, identical with love and, consequently, accessible in history and cognizable to man (incarnated). Maintaining this «logic of the Logos» protects Christian faith from mythicality, violence, autosoterism, and moralism. Only humble acceptance of the gift and kenotic unification with Christ – the eternal Logos – in prayer allows man to recognize the true meaning of the world.

To the Rev. Tadeusz Styczeń, who died in October 2010, Christology was the “heart of the matter” not only in the existential but also in the scientific sense, including the methodological. This is the ethics−oriented Christology or Christologically−motivated ethics (with Christ−Truth as the source of freedom) practised at the Catholic University of Lublin as the heritage of Wojtyła’s–John Paul II’s teaching; this is erudite knowledge (drawing on many fields), wisdom transmitted in diverse forms, but frequently meditation based on Biblical exegesis. This is a profoundly incarnational Christology: Styczeń refers to the mystery of the Incarnation, reconciling anthropocentrism with theocentrism and, consequently, to the mystery of the Cross as an expression of solidarity with God and with man.   Translated by Piotr Czyżewski
