Jesteśmy tylko „mięsem”?

The book “The Body […] is […] for the Lord, and the Lord for the Body” (1 Cor 6, 13). Biblical Foundations for the Theology of the Human Body by father prof. Tomasz Maria Dąbek OSB touches on a subject that is extremely significant for contemporary people and dramatically current in a world where, on the one hand, medical progress and inventing many new medicines have allowed us to radically prolong human life expectancy and facilitate social activisation of sick and handicapped persons, while on the other hand led to considering human organs as transplants and implants, “spare parts” of sorts (A. Litwińczuk, Ciało człowieka w kulturze. Przegląd zagadnień [Human Body in Culture. A Review]), which has led to “breaking up the integrity of the person.” If we add to this diagnosis the twentieth-century conceptions of the industrial body (e.g. the body of a factory worker or a soldier), considered in terms of efficiency, productivity, as well as the hedonistic body, subjected to the constant pressure of “the global culture of consumption” (A. Litwińczuk), it will appear that the threat of human beings becoming objectified becomes very real. All the circumstances listed above justify a return to elementary questions about the human nature in relation to the world, God, and other human beings. The answers are to be sought, among other places, in the Bible – a work of fundamental significance for the civilisation of the West – and Tomasz Dąbek’s publication offers useful help in this task.

The paper is an attempt at a cognitive analysis and description of biblical images of the human being, deeply rooted in the religious system of values, such as the covenant with God, redemption or sanctity, found in various morphemes, lexemes and other expressions of the biblical Hebrew language. The analysis of the Hebrew lexemes used to define the man and the woman, helpful in the reconstruction of the informal ways of thinking of the human being, observed in the Semitic culture, is expected to present a biblical picture of the human being as a living creature (neºpeš), revealing itself in BäSär (a physical component) as well as rûªH (a spiritual component), a creature functioning among other creatures, belonging to their world, but also occupying a particular place in it.

We All Need PEACE

EN
The authoress of the review begins her text with the statement that the book “Szukaj pokoju i dąż do niego” (Ps 34, 15). Biblia o pokoju [“Look for peace and strive for it” (Ps 34:15). The Bible on Peace] by Rev. Prof. Tomasz Maria Dąbek OSB touches upon a subject which is crucial for contemporary people and dramatically pertinent in the world shaken by wars, conflicts, and affected by hatred. What the reviewer considers particularly valuable in the analysis carried out by the Tyniec Benedictine are references to Hebrew and Greek terms conceptualizing various aspects of the biblical notion of PEACE, starting with the individual’s inner life and their relations with God and finishing the social behaviour. She recommends the analyses presented in the book to both experienced Bible researchers and beginner readers, for whom they can become a valuable guide to biblical truths. In the reviewer’s opinion, the book may become the basis for further scientific research in such fields of research as linguistics, semantics, cultural studies or pedagogy.
