The proposed study is a continuation of the research which opened last year and whose findings were published in a study about Czech christology of the 19th century. Several publications from the 19th century are supplemented and certain major indigenous and translated studies from 16th to 18th century are pointed out in the first part, whereas the second part introduces Czech indigenous and translated literature from 1901 to 1910. It would appear that the amount of publications in the first decade of the 20th century is comparable with the amount in the last decades of the 19th century. As expected, the preaching and spiritual literature distinctly prevails quantitatively. Moreover, the number and quality of the non-Catholic literature increased at the beginning of the 20th century.

Who is Jesus Christ? When reading the Jesus stories, one’s own questions, hopes and longings are caught up in the field of tension that leads people to understand their lives more deeply and openly. In this new openness, freedom and concentration on the human being, the reality of God, upon which faith and trust are built, is experienced again and again in all the Jesus stories. In the interplay of didactics, religious education studies and theology, the task of Christology didactics contours itself to master central questions of Christology in a thoughtful way.

Vojtech Sanda was Czech theologian (born 1873, died 1953). He was a professor of theology in Prague. He wrote only one book about dogmatic theology, but that was of extraordinary quality. The Synopsis theologiae dogmaticae specialis was written in latin and published in 1916 and 1922. In the first chapter of this article, there is a short biography of the author of Synopsis - Vojtech Sanda. The second chapter deals with the structure and sources of Synopsis. In the last chapter the author presentw his analysis of the christological and soteriological questions of Sanda's work. These questions go to the Biblical-theological sources of Synopsis, to the hypostatic union, to the christological titles for Jesus Christ, to the primary purpose of incarnations, to the kenosis, to the self-consciouness and knowledge of Jesus Christ, and finally to the soteriological models interpreting the cross of Jesus.

In this paper the author classifies the christological publications of Czech authors and the christological literature translated into Czech in the 19th century. In each group, the entries are listed in chronological order and provide basic information regarding the content and the genre. This foundation can be used for future preparation of a treatise dedicated to the theme of Czech christology of the 19th century. The overview of collections of sermons, in particular from the first half of the 19th century, points to the possibility of their successive rendering in student theses which will constitute the basis for the subsequent evaluation.

The three Synoptic Gospels narrate the story of Jesus’ healing of Simon’s mother in-law as a part of their account of the beginnings of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee. The focus of this article are the christological contours of the three variants, that is, differences in their portrayal of Jesus. To highlight the uniqueness of each evangelist in regard to the christological aspect of the story, the article employs a combination of lexical analysis, synoptic comparison, and semantic approach. It seeks to identify the significance of the changes made by Matthew and Luke vis-à-vis their Marcan counterpart, and sketch the christological profile of each evangelist.

The first major schism in Christianity represents the separation of the Oriental Orthodox Churches from the rest of the Church. Political tensions between the Byzantine Empire and the separatist provinces and also cultural and linguistic differences contributed to the Christological controversies in the 5th century AD. Today the both parties recognise, that their Christology is orthodox, it is only expressed by different theological formulations and terms. The common theological assumption was confirmed by analysis of selected Oriental, Eastern Orthodox and Catholic catechisms. Doctrine of the Oriental catechisms is made available in Slovakia for the first time.

Pope St. Leo the Great has substantially influenced the text of the Confession of the Faith accepted by the Council of Chalcedon and used by Eastern and Western Christian Churches. In this study, we analyse Leo‘s pre-Chalcedonian Homiletic Christology. As a part of our research, we are interested in his thoughts about the two natures of the Incarnation of the Word of God in his homilies. In addition to this, our study offers relevant source translations into the Slovak language. This way, we intend to enrich the previously missing translations of Church Fathers that are necessary for creation of our own Slovak theological dictionary. The homiletic work of this important pope and theologian allows us not only to perceive the versatility of cultural and educational skills of Church Teachers, but it can also provide methodological bases for the research of spirituality of everyday life at any time during the development of Christian culture in the European environment.

The article introduces a summary of analysis of essential Christological works by Joseph Ratzinger and the Pope's book about Jesus. The aim of this work is to describe and evaluate the basic line and development of Ratzinger's Christological reflection. At the beginning the article outlines Joseph Ratzinger's life and work and then it describes his important Christological works. The Christological presentation itself is divided into four areas: the use of Christological titles, theology of incarnation, the secrets of Jesus' life and theology of the Cross. Ratzinger bases his Christology primarily on the faith of the church and thus his approach can be described 'as seen from above'. The profession of Jesus as incarnated Son of God is the key to his whole Christology. Consequently Ratzinger considers Jesus' substantial relationship to the Father to be the centre of his whole secret. What the author finds important in older publications is the interpretation of God's Son as 'the last human', thereby he emphasises the authenticity of Jesus' humanity. In newer works we can meet the title 'the new Moses'. The question of the relation of the Old and New Testament and soteriological topic of Jesus' 'exodus' and his liberation work is thus in the forefront.

PHILOSOPHY AND CHRISTOLOGY (Filozofia i chrystologia)

Assuming that the so called ontological proof is conclusive (at least in some of its versions) the article tries to justify the thesis that the idea of incarnation belongs to the idea of God, what in consequence implies that His incarnation was necessary. Even though God freely created the world incarnation was necessary in order to reconcile His infinite perfection with finite and imperfect relation (this idea was already presented by some medieval theologians and philosophers). From God's point of view incarnation is an atemporal 'event', but for human beings it had to be something temporally determinate. The aim of incarnation was to give humans a moral paradigm which would show them how to overcome egoism (conatus) belonging to the essence of every personal being. In this way we can say that we not only a priori know that God as a prefect being exists but that we also know that it was necessary for Him to participate in His creation. The second part of the article aims to show that the Christian belief that Jesus was (is) God incarnate can be grounded in a reasoning similar to that presented by Rene Descartes as a justification for our 32 Stanislaw Judycki conviction that the so called external world really exists: God cannot lie - which via ontological proof follows from His perfection - and from this we may conclude that He would not allow that what is believed by Christians as His incarnation has turned out something illusory.

Martin Chemnitz, an important second-generation, reformation theologian, combined Luther’s theological insights and exegetical skills with Melanchthon’s logical methods of argumentation in his patient search for ecumenical concord. His major theological contribution was his development of an historical method, which he used in his polemics, thus delineating the roots and context of legitimate ‘Gospel theology.’ This method is comprised of: (1) Biblical exegesis, (2) thorough research of the church’s tradition to guide exegesis (keeping the Scriptures as the ultimate authority in case of discrepancies or conflicting views), (3) dogmatic construction, and (4) apologetics. Chemnitz used this method in developing and using his Christological teaching in several key doctrines, including his doctrine of the Eucharist. Relying on what he called a “catholic consensus of the fathers,” Chemnitz extensively used the witness of the ancient fathers of the church – including Eastern church fathers, which distinguished him from other Protestant theologians of his time – as a legitimate source of Christology, as well as other important topics. This “catholic consensus” should be perceived as a further development of the tradition of biblical interpretation within the living organism – the ecumenical Body of Christ. The witness of biblical interpretation of the Christological passages as found in Cyril of Alexandria, John of Damascus, or Basil the Great is welded together with the words of institution, as found in the Gospels and in Paul, the apostle. Chemnitz’s approach carries a relevant ecumenical potential for the dialogue between Eastern and Western branches of Christianity.

This essay focuses on the theme of Jesus’ corporality in the Fourth Gospel. While Johannine studies rightly tend to underline the various ways in which John communicates Jesus’ divinity and union with the Father, this gospel is also filled with texts that stress Jesus’ humanity. From the prologue to the resurrection scenes Jesus periodically appears not only as fully human, but also as fully bodily. The introductory part of the article traces some of the occurrences of the motif of Jesus’ humanity/corporality. In the attempt to point up their significance and function, the two main parts then identify the texts which describe Jesus’ body parts and his physical postures. The essay notes John’s particular interest in drawing attention to Jesus’ body parts and postures, a feature that contributes to John’s being „a maverick Gospel“ that continues to fascinate its readers. As the Son of God in constant communion with the Father, Jesus, as portrayed in John, emerges as a fully human and bodily person.

The study offers Congar’s understanding of the topic of baptismal priesthood. The theologian draws much on biblical sources, touching also the era of systematization of theology in which the highest authorities are Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. These writers, as Congar argues, introduce many distinctions into theological reflection which helps them to form a coherent and balanced system in theological work. For the French Dominican the return to the sources helps him to avoid the unilateral approach of modern theology which often tries to accent that shape of reflection which is the strongest or which seems to be the most useful for solving some particular problem.

The question of constituting the status of human existence leads to its mysterious nature. Not any rationality can comply with this question. Along with H. U. von Balthasar, the basic question of the human existence foundation is formulated as an open one in multiple dimensions: religious beliefs of Ancient India and Greece, tragic struggle in German mythologies, and biblical concept of Christian existence. Along with H. de Lubac, the second part analyses the humanistic concept of human existence, which results in atheistic humanism. In the last part with W. Kasper, we reveal the elementary status of the question of the human in its Christological designation in three steps: a) Christology assumes a relatively independent anthropology; b) Christology presents a basic measure for anthropology; c) Christology brings into anthropology an essential status.

The importance of a rapprochement between theology and the arts is currently increasing. A Christological analysis of Jan Zahradnicek's poetry supports the relevance of authentic art for theology. The poet treats the theory of art in his essays and his results correspond remarkably with the conception of Sylva Fischerova, a contemporary theoretician of literature. Zahradnicek's poetry offers an abundance of christological titles and a number of approaches to the christocentrism of Jan Duns Scotus.

The article presents the Christology of Paul Tillich in his Systematic Theology with the aim of explaining his theological conception in relation to orthodoxy. In the first part of the article, there are sketched the main events of Tillich's life. In the second part, the reader is informed about 'Systematic Theology' in general. In the third part the author of this article follows the Tillich's work on some basic themes of Christology. He finds that Tillich takes an adoptianistic conception of Jesus as the Christ who is made capable by God of becoming the New Being and who is accepted by disciples in this way. Although various important implications of the revelatory and redemptive signification of the Christ's divine nature are absent his Christology shows many prophetic accents and intuitions which were successfully developed in theology later.

Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew, which is not obvious to all present-day Christians, which is why they should be reminded of it. For some Jews, Jesus is becoming part of Jewish tradition these days, which is neither obvious to all, which is why the author draws attention to this dimension of contemporary Judaic faith. But both one and the other aspect are but an external manifestation of much more profound processes examined in this article. The ever broader scope of the findings of archaeological, linguistic, religious or mass media studies (which examine the impact of technological change on the methods of passing down tradition), as well as anthropological ones are responsible for the fact that its historical nature and an element of chance are nowadays widely accepted phenomena. The realization of this simple fact could significantly simplify mutual relations between the followers of Judaism and Christianity. Seen from this perspective, Jesus will be a uniting, not a divisive, factor.

In the submitted study, we pay attention to teaching on baptism in the context of the work of Pope Leo the Great. We analyse Leo´s letters and homilies. In his letters, Leo focuses mainly on liturgical and pastoral questions associated with the sacrament of baptism. He also deals with Marian-ecclesial symbolism according to which the Virgin Mary becomes the image of baptistery of the Church where believers – members of Christ´s ecclesial body – are born. The third aspect developed by Leo in relation to baptism is almsgiving, to which the faithful are often invited. This act, like baptism, leads to forgiveness of sins. Leo´s theology of baptism has Christological dimension connected to ecclesiology, with an impact on the sacramental life of believers. Leo thus becomes one of very few early Christian authors who indicated and developed Christological spirituality of „lay people“.

This article aims to highlight the exegetical comments that the Greek-Eastern and Latin Fathers proposed with a Christological and Mariological purpose on Ezekiel’s porta clausa before or during the Councils of Ephesus (431), Constantinople (448) and Chalcedon (451). Although at first sight it would seem that such exegeses were a consequence of these Councils. It is clear that many of them are documented earlier, and others occurred more or less by the time in which these Councils took place. All the Greek-Eastern and Latin Fathers agree in interpreting this oriental closed door of the temple in Mariological and Christological terms, in the sense that it is a simultaneous and complementary symbol of the both the virginal divine maternity of Mary and her perpetual virginity, as well as the conception and birth of God the Son made man. As such interpretations are previous or, in the best case, contemporary to the three mentioned Councils, they can not be considered as their consequences, but rather as some antecedents that could have served the Church in those Councils to refute the heresies of Nestorius and Eutychius.
