The paper presents the personality and the scientific record of Rev. prof. Aleksander Usowicz CM. He was an acknowledged representative of the neo-Scholasticism, the main philosophical movement in the mid 50 of 20th c. at the Theological Faculty of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.In fact, scientific interest of Usowicz went beyond the field of philosophy. He was also interested in theology. Among many lecturers he delivered, the most important was one about the introduction to theology. Its aim was to provide students with the basics of the history of theological thought.It must be remembered that Usowicz was a reviewer of the habilitation work of Fr. Karol Wojtyła. He was also a tutor and scientific supervisor of many later professors of philosophy and theology.

The article focuses on the understanding of sin in John 5:14, as well as the relationship between sin and sickness presented in this verse. It provides a thorough status quaestionis on both of these issues. After examining various hypotheses regarding the meaning of sin in John 5:14, the Johannine notion of sin as unbelief is expounded as the most convincing. This sin encompasses the past, present, and future life of the healed man. Thus, contrary to the exegetical opinio communis, the cause-and-effect relationship between sin and sickness does not apply to John 5:14. In light of this explanation, the messages of John 5:14 and 9:2–3 do not contradict each other. Jesus’ words in 5:14, intentionally pronounced in the temple, should be understood as an invitation to follow him in faith.

The explicit references to the Scripture (γραφή) in the Johannine cleansing narrative in 2:22 as well as in the Johannine narrative about the empty tomb in 20:9 were always a perplexing mystery which raised a plethora of scholarly proposals. The article presents an argument in favor of Zech 6:12-13 as a scriptural referent in both these occurrences of γραφή. The Zechariah oracle about the future rebuilding of the temple by a messianic king perfectly dovetails with the Johannine Temple-Christology which depicts the resurrection of Jesus as the rebuilding of the temple by the King-Messiah.

Der Artikel von Adam Kubiś stellt das Thema ausschlichlich gestützt auf kirchliche Quellen dar. Er entstand nicht nur gestützt auf schriftliche Quellen, besonders amtliche Dokumente, sondern auch gesützt auf persönliche Erfahrungen des Autors, der in gewisser Weise die akademische Tätigkeit der Krakauer Theologischen Fakultät initiiert hatte (1962–1963). Der Leser wird die Vision der katholischen Lehre in Polen kennenlernen, die Kardinal Karol Wojtyła schon als Kapitular Vikar besass und die er voll verwirklichte, vor allem dank der Fügung vom 16. October 1978, dass das Konklave den Kardinal aus Krakau zum Bischof von Rom wählte. In der Krakauer Zeit konzentrierte sich die Tätigkeit von Kardinal Wojtyła im Bereich des katholischen Hochschulwesens in Polen auf die Verteidigung des Fortbestehens der ehemaligen Theologischen Fakultät der Jagiellonen-Universität an dem Ort, an dem sie von der Königin Hedwig gegründet worden war, und auf den Aufbau eines Netzes von theologischen Hochschulen in Polen: in Wrocław (Breslau), wohin nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg die Jan-Kazimierz-Universität aus Lwiw (Lemberg) umgezogen war; in Poznań (Posen), als Ausgleich für die für die Kirche verlorene Theologische Fakultät an der Stefan-Batory-Universität in Wilna. In Bezug auf Warschau wurde die von Kardinal S. Wyszyński vertretene die These aufrechterhalten, dass die Theologische Fakultät der Warschauer Universität im Warschauer Priesterseminar weiter besteht und dass über den kirchlichen Status der neuen Akademie der katholischen Theologie mit den staatlichen Stellen in einen Dialog zu treten sei. So verteidigte Kardinal Wojtyła die Zahl von fünf theologischen Fakultäten, die vor 1939 auf dem Gebiet Polens bestanden hatten.Bekanntermaßen bestanden weiterhin zwei „geschlossene” Fakultäten der Jesuiten: die theologische in Warschau und die philosophische in Krakau. Nach Überzeugung von Kardinal Wojtyła sollte man sich nicht davon abhängig machen, was für einen zivilrechtlichen Status diese Hochschulen besitzen, auch wenn man sich darum ständig bemühen sollte. Seiner Überzeugung nach kam es vor allem auf die Entwicklung an, und zwar auf der organisatorischen und auf der wissenschaftlichen Ebene, die analog zu staatlichen Hochschulen verlaufen sollte. Diesem Ziel diente die Kommission des Episkopates für die kirchliche Lehre und vor allem der wissenschaftliche Rat des Polnischen Episkopates, der damals im Bereich der Kirche eine Rolle hatte wie die Zentrale Qualifikationskommission, die im zivilem Schulbereich die Aufsicht führte. Diese Aufgabe konnte die Kirche in Polen gestützt auf die Autorität des Apostolischen Stuhls erfüllen, der – entsprechend dem Kirchenrecht - die alleinige Kompetenz in dieser Hinsicht hatte. Der polnische Staat sollte in erster Linie den Schaden reparieren, der nicht nur der Kirche, sondern auch der nationalen Kultur durch die Entfernung der Theologischen Fakultät der JagiellonenUniversität aus Krakau angetan worden war, die sich nun ohne zivilrechtliche Anerkennung unter dem Patronat ihres Großkanzlers (der Erzbischof von Krakau, Karol Kardinal Wojtyła) und einer kirchlichen Autorität der römischen Kongregation (sub una auctoritate ecclesiastica) entwickelte. Im Ergebnis führten die Krakauer Bemühungen von Kardinal K. Wojtyła und die päpstlichen von Johannes Paul II. im Januar 1989 zur vollen Verwirklichung der Ursprunglichen Idee des Entstehens eines unabhängigen Netzes von kirchlichen Hochschulen, in ihren Rechten vergleichbar mit staatlichen Hochschulen.

The first part of the article deals with four different understandingsof Hosea 6:6 in the context of this prophetic book: (1) repudiation of thecult as such, (2) the rejecting of a specific kind of cult, (3) the priority ofethics over the cult, and (4) the symbiosis of cult and ethics, i.e. that anauthentic cult interweaves ethical values and proper ritual conduct. Theauthor concludes that the fourth interpretation best fits the message of theBook of Hosea. The second part of the article deals with the problem of thetextual Vorlage which would have been used by Matthew. It seems that hequoted from the Hebrew text, being faithful to a then-current hermeneuticalrule by which each part of a biblical parallelism was interpreted separately,based on the belief that every single line carried equal weight and conveyeda new truth or a new law. The Matthean relecture of Hosea 6:6, the focus ofthe third part, is presented from two perspectives, namely synchronic anddiachronic. In the synchronic presentation the main point of concern is thecontribution of the quotes in 9:13 and 12:7 to understanding the Mattheanpericopes. Finally, the diachronic reading deals with the Matthean use ofHosea 6:6 within the context of the Matthean community and of its dialoguewith the Rabbinic Judaism of the day.

The Author of the article describes the three years of his ministry in the years 1957–1960 as a parochial vicar in the parish of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wadowice. He does this after almost 60 years, to leave testimony about the place of the birth and school years of St. John Paul II, the pope.The Author notes, first, that during his ministry the Wadowice parish has been enlarged beyond the city limits, including such villages as: Jaroszowice, Hobot, Zawadka and Tomice. Today, there are three new parishes, from which one is worthy of mention: it is the parish of St. Peter, the Apostle.A big part of the article Author devotes to the religious life of the parish, stressing that it was shaped by the Tridentine liturgy, before the Second Vatican Council. He lists the names of the priests, which in the period of Karol Wojtyla shaped his religious life. In 1958, Rev. Karol Wojtyla became auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Krakow. The text describes the celebration of his first episcopal Mass and then his pastoral visit, which took place in Sept. 1959.

Autor artykułu opisuje trzyletni okres swojej pracy duszpasterskiej w latach 1957–1960 w charakterze wikariusza w parafii Ofiarowania Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Wadowicach. Czyni to po prawie 60 latach, by zostawić świadectwo o miejscu urodzenia i lat szkolnych św. Jana Pawła II, papieża. W tekście swoim ogranicza się wyłącznie do wspomnianych lat, nie pisząc o Wadowicach sprzed 1957 roku i po roku 1960.Autor zauważa najpierw, że w okresie jego pracy duszpasterskiej parafia Wadowice sięgała poza granice miasta, obejmując wioski: Jaroszowice, Hobot, Zawadkę i Tomice. Dzisiaj na terenie tejże parafii powstały trzy nowe parafie, z których na imienną wzmiankę zasługuje kościół i parafia pod wezwaniem św. Piotra Apostoła.Większość artykułu Autor poświęca religijnemu życiu parafii, podkreślając, że kształtowała je liturgia trydencka sprzed Drugiego Soboru Watykańskiego. Imiennie wymienia grono kapłańskie, które w latach pobytu Karola Wojtyły kształtowało jego życie religijne. W 1958 roku ks. Karol Wojtyła został biskupem pomocniczym w archidiecezji krakowskiej. W tekście są opisane jego prymicje biskupie i wizytacja duszpasterska, która miała miejsce we wrześniu 1959 roku.

The article opens with a discussion of the originality of the adverb εἰκῇ (“without cause”) in Mt 5:22a, and the question of whether Jesus prohibits all anger or only unjustified anger. The main body of the article, however, examines to what degree Jesus’ teaching on homicidal anger should be viewed as innovative or even radical. This analysis is accomplished by looking at a wide range of intertextual connections between the Matthean idea of homicidal anger, as expressed in Mt 5:21-22, and various Old Testament and extra-biblical ancient Jewish texts. Jesus’ teaching does not in fact differ appreciably from biblical teaching on the issue, especially that found in wisdom literature. Peri-testamental and rabbinic literature likewise contain a number of more or less exact parallels to Mt 5:21-22. Taken together, these all help us establish the correct meaning of Mt 5:21-22. Nevertheless, there is an undeniable originality in the sharp and legalistic overtone of the Matthean formulation, specifically the idea of anger as a cause of murder. Moreover, the targumic reading of Gen 9:6 helps clarify the semantic field of κρίσις in Mt 5:22, which should be understood as divine punishment of any anger.
PL
Głównym celem artykułu jest ukazanie oryginalności nauczania Jezusa na temat gniewu prowadzącego do śmierci, zdefiniowanego w Mt 5,21-22. Artykuł otwiera dyskusja na temat autentyczności obecności przysłówka εἰκῇ („bez przyczyny”) w Mt 5,22, rzutująca na odpowiedź na pytanie czy Jezus potępia każdy rodzaj gniewu czy tylko gniew nieusprawiedliwiony. W celu odkrycia oryginalności oraz znaczenia Jezusowego nauczania na temat gniewu w Mt 5,21-22 zaprezentowano wiele tekstów starotestamentowych oraz tekstów zaczerpniętych ze starożytnej żydowskiej literatury pozabiblijnej. Idea gniewu prowadzącego do śmierci obecna jest już w ST, zwłaszcza w literaturze mądrościowej. Wskazać można również wiele paralel w literaturze peritestamentalnej oraz rabinackiej. Niemniej jednak kategoryczno-legalistyczna forma wypowiedzi Jezusa nosi znamiona oryginalności. Targumincza lektura Rdz 9,6 pomaga także zdefiniować pole semantyczne terminu κρίσις w Mt 5,22 jako Bożego sądu dotykającego wszystkich unoszących się gniewem.

The scope of the present study is the symbolic analysis of the two interwoven Markan narratives about the healing of the woman with the flow of blood (5:25-34) and the raising of Jairus’ daughter (5:21-24.35-43). The principal thesis of this work consists in interpreting both women as symbols of Israel. The study begins with the presentation of the methodological premises of symbolic analysis. The main methodological premise of this work is the conviction that the literary sense of this pericope is in fact imbued with symbolism. Then there is a presentation of three criteria which help in detecting symbols in the biblical text: textual probability, conventions probability and contextual probability. Subsequently, in order to lend credence to the principal thesis of the article, seventeen literary elements found in Mark 5:21-43 are discussed; each of them meets the first two criteria and lends itself to symbolic interpretation of the two women as representations of Israel. The cumulative weight of these seventeen elements creates a rather strong cumulative argument in favor of the main thesis. Finally, the conformity between the symbolic interpretation of these women and both the immediate and global contexts of this pericope is discussed. The presence of this conformity meets the third criterion of contextual probability. The article thus offers a convincing case for the symbolic interpretation of the hemorrhaging woman and Jairus’ daughter in Mark 5:21-43 as representations of Israel.

Compared with the Synoptics, the Johannine angels assume a particular and significant position inside Jesus’ tomb. The evangelist describes it precisely as one angel sitting at the place of Jesus’ head and another at the place of Jesus’ feet. Not all Johannine commentators pay attention to this detail, yet a comparison with the descriptions of the angels’ positions in the different synoptic narratives demonstrates that they all reflect original editorial work on the part of each the evangelist. Consequently, these accounts can – and indeed do – convey particular ideological or theological stances typical of each gospel writer, including John. With regard to John 20:12, the article surveys proposals advanced by several Johannine commentators, beginning with some very obvious and prosaic explanations and ending with the most probable meanings behind the particular posture of Johannine angels. According to a strictly archeological-historical explanation, the position of the Johannine angles is no more than an indication that Jesus’ burial place was not a tomb of kôkîm type. The article also presents allegorical interpretations, from St. Augustine to St. Thomas Aquinas; a religious-cultural exposition referring to the Egyptian goddesses Isis and Nephthys; a few very literal explanations accentuating the physical emptiness between the angels; and an intertextual exposition based on a targumic reading of Isaiah 6. At the end, as the most persuasive solution, the article proposes that the Johannine angels represent the cherubs of the Ark of the Covenant and the mercy seat. This intertextual and symbolic interpretation likewise explains Mary Magdalene’s lack of fear and astonishment in her interaction with supernatural beings.

The article surveys recent scholarship on the use of creation imagery in the Gospel of John, with the aim of presenting a rather exhaustive register of possible references. Both the obvious and the less clear-cut allusions to Gen 1–3 are discussed, the main focus being to accumulate and assess the evidence (for or against) all the apparent references to creation imagery. Included in this examination are several unconvincing and even far-fetched proposals advanced by some modern scholars, in order to give the fullest possible picture of the current discourse on these issues. After discussing the creation theme in the Prologue (1:1–18), the article explores the presence of creation imagery in the Book of Signs (1:19–12:50) and the Book of Glory (13:1–21:25).

The author concludes that the fourth interpretation best fits the message of the Book of Hosea. The second part of the article deals with the problem of the textual Vorlage which would have been used by Matthew. He seems to have quoted the Hebrew text in a way that remains faithful to his contemporary hermeneutical rule, according to which each element of a biblical parallelism was to be interpreted separately, based on the belief that every single line carried equal weight and conveyed a new truth or a new law. The Matthean rereading of Hosea 6:6, the focus of the third part, is presented from two perspectives: the synchronic and the diachronic. In the synchronic presentation, the main point of concern is the contribution of the quotes in 9:13 and 12:7 to the understanding of those Matthean pericopes. Finally, the diachronic reading deals with the Matthean use of Hosea 6:6 within the context of the Matthean community and its dialogue with the Rabbinic Judaism of that day.
