Research on the beginnings of Christianity using the historical method brings about many difficulties, mainly due to the scarcity of sources. One of the most interesting is the canonical book of the Acts of the Apostles, which is unique among the New Testament books, also with regards to genology and its content. It provides us with a unique image of the beginnings and growth of the Church. The author asks if this is a historical, mythical, theological, or theological-polemical image. In his research, he focuses on only one theme presented in this book: the historical watershed moment of directing the mission of evangelization towards the pagans. First, he situates the pericope in question in the conception of the entire book. Next, he summarizes the history of its exegesis and subjects it to historical criticism, finally finding within it an important chapter of early Christian mythology. While not negating its historical roots, he notes its theological message, which was especially important for the Christian community of the early second century.

Badanie początków chrześcijaństwa metodą historyczną sprawia dużo trudności, głównie z powodu znikomej ilości źródeł. Do jednych z najciekawszych należy kanoniczna księga Dziejów Apostolskich, która w Nowym Testamencie jest unicum tak pod względem genologicznym, jak i treściowym. Dostarcza ona dość szczególnego obrazu powstania i rozwoju Kościoła. Autor artykułu pyta, jaki to obraz – historyczny, mityczny, teologiczny czy teologiczno-polemiczny? W badaniach koncentruje się na jednym tylko wątku ukazanym w tej księdze, to jest na przełomowym dla dziejów misji ewangelizacyjnej skierowaniu jej od pogan. Najpierw sytuuje interesującą go perykopę w koncepcji całej księgi, a następnie przypomina w skrócie historię jej egzegezy oraz poddaje ją krytyce historycznej, by w końcu odkryć w niej ważną kartę mitu wczesnochrześcijańskiego. Nie negując jego historycznego zakorzenienia, wskazuje na teologiczne jej przesłanie niezwykle ważne dla społeczności chrześcijan z początku drugiego wieku.

The author proposes an interpretation of the pericope of Matt 1,18-25 that emphasizes some Mariological aspects in the context of the first canonical Gospel.The author attests to the fact that the virgin birth of Mary is not given any special justification in Matt 1,18-25 nor is it an object of any special theological reflection because the pericope in question (Matt 1,18-25) is a self-contained narrative in which St. Matthew depicts the birth of Jesus as an exceptional event in the economy of salvation. And he does so for two reasons: because the virgin birth itself as well as the whole presented event (cf. Matt 1,22) is a fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy of Is 7,14 (cf. Matt 1,22b-23) and because the fact that Mary conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit becomes a logical ground for acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God. Nevertheless, the Evangelist also allows for the Mariological theme in a very special way.The author of the article reaches a number of crucial Mariological conclusions which are the guiding ideas of his research, i.e. that in Matt 1,18-25 Mary is portrayed even more expressively than in the pericope presenting the genealogy of Jesus (Matt 1,1-17 especially Matt 1,16). St. Matthew depicts Mary as a remarkable person, very significant in the fulfillment of God’s plan of saving humanity. Mary plays an invaluable role in the pericope of Matt 1,18-25. Since the times of the prophet Isaiah she was the chosen Virgin who would give birth to the Emmanuel. Thus, she can be described as a mediator of God’s actions in His plan of saving all humanity. But in Matt 1,18-25 St. Matthew does not mention any personal deeds of Mary.The author attests to the fact that Mary is the virgin and immaculate Mother of Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ, Son of David and Son of God. This leads to a conclusion that Mary is the Mother of the Emmanuel. And because her motherhood is the result of the Holy Spirit’s action (Matt 1,18.20) the Church owes to her the Master, the Son of God who stands by the Church “always, [even] unto the end of the world” (Matt 28,20).Keywords
