The author of the presented article discusses the issue of indissolubility of marriage in the writings of 4th century Latin Church Fathers. His analyses proved that among patrologists there are mixed opinions concerning the value of some writings on this topic. The majority of patrologists believes that, apart from Ambrosiaster, all other writers of that time gave no consent for people to remarry while some patrologists think the opposite.On the basis of the research carried out by H. Crouzel, the author pointed out that, apart from Ambrosiaster, all Church Fathers agreed that the texts of Mt 5, 32 and 19, 9 should be interpreted as an exception to the rule of not abandoning the spouse. Only Ambrosiaster stood for entering into a new marriage not only in the case of adultery but also for a few other reasons. Some patrologists think that his writings reflect certain practices adopted in the Church of that time. In this case, however, it was not a common practice but, as Kamas believes, a kind of laxism which appeared in the practice of a local Church.

The patristic writers variously enumerated the ages of human life. Some counted ten, some seven, six, five or four. They took number symbolism or the opinions of ancient authors as their starting point, but in their formulation the ages of human life concern not just the physical, intellectual or moral development of man but, often, also his spiritual development. They defined stages in the development of faith or love that can be described in terms analogous to those used for defining man’s age. Moreover, the patristic authors did not usually conclude their enumeration with old age. Human life passes ultimately into the age of rest (the seventh age) or into eternity (the eighth age), which has no end. Irenaeus of Lyon used the concept of the ages of life in proving that Jesus lived about fifty years. There were, in his opinion, theological arguments for such a mature age. Christ became one of us in order to accomplish the redemption and He therefore had to know all the ages of normal human life: not just birth, childhood and youth, but also maturity and old age. But the chronological and exegetical arguments Irenaeus gives are rather stretched. The most profound description of the ages of man was given by Augustine. He makes an original parallel with the seven days of creation and the seven ages of the history of the chosen people.

II s’agit dans cette étude de faire ressortir la position tout à fait exceptionnelle de la Bible dans les écrits des Peres de l’Eglise. La théologie patristique n’est, en effet, qu’un spécifique exposé du contenu de la Bible. Outre la théologie les Pères de l’Eglise cultivaient disciplines correspondant aux correspondant aux différentes branches des études bibliques d’aujourd’hui. C’est ainsi qu’Origène, par exemple, est considéré comme père de la critique textuelle et beaucoup d’autres ont contribué sensiblement à l’herméneutique biblique. L a tàche principale consistait cependant à trouver le sens exact de la parole divine. C’est dans ce but que l’on traduisait de façon bien variée la Bible; que l’on menait les études sur l’harmonie de deux Testaments, sur les allégories et sur la typologie. Les écoles catéchético-exégétiques fleurissant à A lexandrie, à Antioche et à Césarée donnent un excellent témoignage du niveau des études bibliques aux temps des Pères de l’Eglise. Les sciences bibliques modernes doivent beaucoup à la science biblique patristique. On le voit tout d’abord dans la critique textuelle. La Bible, citée par les Pères, révèle, en effet, les premières etapes, peu connues, de l’histoire du texte biblique. Les interprétations, même les plus récentes, des certains passages bibliques s’appuient bien de fois sur l’exégèse patristique. La théologie biblique, en fin, doit beaucoup, elle aussi, à la typologie et à l’exégèse allégorique des Peres.

The author of the presented article carried out an analysis of the writings of Early Christian Latin writers of 2nd and 3rd centuries concerning the unity and indissolubility of marriage. He pointed out that all of them stood for the unity of marriage (Tertullian, Marcus Minucius Felix, Saint Cyprian, Novatian). Some interpretative controversies arise among patrologists around the texts of Tertullian and Lactantius concerning the indissolubility of marriage. The author proved, mainly on the basis of the views of Crouzel, that these texts should be interpreted primarily in the context of conditions in which they were written. They should not be perceived as consent for a new marriage in the case of adultery.

The author of the article presented the views of Latin Church Fathers from the turn of the 5th century on the question of the possibility of contracting another marriage. His analyses showed that they were against such practices. The popes of those times, Innocent I and Gregory the Great, made a few particular decisions in that matter connected with the specific conditions in which Christians lived at that time, namely the relation between the Christian doctrine and the then valid Roman law. The author also proved that, as far as marriage was concerned, the Church Fathers implicitly acknowledged secular jurisdiction apart from the regulations that were non-acceptable from the perspective of the Christian doctrine.

The aim of the article is to present the model features that charac­terized the theological reflection of the patristic era. The list would comprise of the following: focus on both God and man; recognition of the Holy Scriptures as the most significant reference point of any theological reflection; ability to use elements drawn from both cul­tures, the Semitic and Hellenic one, in the creation of the basics of Christian theology; striving to organize and define basic truths of faith regarding the Holy Trinity and the person of Jesus Christ; maintaining the attitude of humility in the process of knowing God; internal unity and coherence of theological thought; spiritual depth of thinking and existential identification with the confessed truths of faith. The above­mentioned features of theology to which the Fathers of the Church point define its identity as a scientific discipline and can as well revive a contemporary manner of practicing.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie modelowych cech, jakimi cha­rakteryzowała się refleksja teologiczna doby patrystycznej. Są to: nierozłączne ukierunkowanie na Boga i na człowieka; uznanie Pisma Świętego za najważniejszy punkt odniesienia każdej refleksji teolo­gicznej; umiejętność wykorzystania w tworzeniu podstaw teologii chrześcijańskiej elementów zaczerpniętych z obu kultur, w których otoczeniu pojawiła się nowa religia, zarówno semickiej, jak i helleń­skiej; dążenie do uporządkowania i zdefiniowania podstawowych prawd wiary dotyczących Trójcy Świętej i osoby Jezusa Chrystusa; zachowanie postawy pokory w procesie poznania Boga; wewnętrzna jedność i spójność myśli teologicznej; duchowa głębia myślenia i egzy­stencjalne utożsamianie się z wyznawanymi prawdami wiary. Powyż­sze cechy teologii, na które zwrócili uwagę Ojcowie Kościoła, decydują o jej tożsamości i mogą ożywić także dzisiejszy sposób jej uprawiania.

In this article, the author focuses on the subject of poetry used in the Word of God. The forms of poetry presented during ancient times, the middle ages and a short correlation to biblical poetry, which is the basis to Christian poetry, are introduced with clear originality. The reader who is familiar with the forms of poetry used in homiletics as well as in lyrical preaching fragments, beginning from Clement of Alexandria and finishing with today’s Polish poet-preachers, will discover that poetry is a perfect tool to transmit homiletic and dogmatic contents. It represents itself as a privileged instrument to express the Word of God. The subject of poetry at the service of the Word of God has as its goal on one side to call attention to today’s preachers to the richness of Church poetry, and on the other side, to make one more sensitive to the beauty of the Word.

The author analyses Greek and Latin Fathers Church writings under the aspect of place and the part of the confession of sins in the Christian penitential practice. Confessio peccati is in early Christians writers thought the essential element in the penitential practice of the Church. The confession of the sin initiates the whole process of the Christian penitence. The confession calls grace and the God mercy. Confessio peccati is the first of all internal spiritual work over oneself. During the confession the Holy Spirit accompanies the sinner. The sinner should recognize his sinful in the confession and stand up in the face of God and Church in the whole truth. The sinner should confess sins from the own will. The confession has to direct to the conversion. The sinner then really merit on the mercy of the remission of sins.

Most of the works of the Church Fathers and apologists contain a critique of the views of the Docetist or pagan debaters who reject the Resurrection. Apart from the main theological argument which is the resurrection of Christ, in writings of this period, arguments refer to the Incarnation of the Logos as the event giving the human body exceptional dignity, as well as stressing the role of God the Father as the author of the new creation in the final age, who will once again show His creative strength (Clemens of Alexandria, Ignatius of Antioch). In the mid-II century, the authors of "Pastor" and the "Letter of Pseudo-Barnabas" draw attention to the spiritual and moral condition of the return of the entire person to life. They emphasize that those people who "maintain their bodies in purity" - meaning being faithful in earthly life to Christ, will receive this, understood as a spiritual resurrection. After the middle of the II century, there appeared an almost general in the surviving Christian writings (Justin, Pseudo-Justin) anthropological dualism coming from Platonism which appeared in stressing that a person is composed of an immortal soul and a mortal body, but this relationship is not commented on more fully. This will become a domain of treaties about the Resurrection written at the tum of the II and III centuries, which on account of its apologetical assumptions will have to adjust to Greek debating anthropology which attacks the doctrine of Christians, as well on account of accepting unavoidable - from the point of view of accommodating - the missionary trial of expressing main truths of the Christian faith with the help of Greek philosophy. The first expression of applying such an article is the treaty "On the Resurrection of the Deceased" of Atenagoras.

The ancient Christian tradition considered the allegorical interpretation of the Bible as an important mean of spiritual formation in the life of the Church. This approach to the Biblical text has been neglected in modern times due to the use of historical-critical methods in the Biblical exegesis. However, it seems that the intuitions of the Fathers of the Church may still be inspiring, especially for certain spiritual actualizations of the Scripture. In some contexts of the life of the Church, e.g. spiritual retreats, the symbolical and allegorical reading of the Bible can be still fruitful, especially in connection with new spiritualties emerging in modern times. Even more, the access to critical editions of patristic works and the semiotic approach to the Biblical text make possible new understandings that may enrich the living tradition of Biblical interpretation.

It may seem that the main goal of the parable of the lost sheep (Mt 18, 12-14; Lk 15, 4-7) is to make us aware how much God loves sinners and how deeply He wants to regain them. The Fathers of the Church, of course, knew that kind of interpretation, nevertheless very early in history they started to apply a com­pletely different explanation to the lost and found sheep. Already in the 2nd cen­tury we can find the statement that the sheep is not a single sinner but the entire human nature, which got lost through the original sin committed by Adam and was found and renewed thanks to the incarnation of God’s Son. In the Antiquity, it was universally believed that human life had a common dimension. That belief was a great part of ancient philosophy as well as the biblical tradition. Some of the Fathers understood the communion even deeper than others as they imagined the humanity as a living organic entity. The concept of the ontological unity of human nature was developed mostly by three Fathers: Irenaeus (2nd century), Methodius of Olympus (died c. 311) and Gregory of Nyssa (died c. 394). All three of them used the parable of the lost sheep as an example that could explain this doctrine. Besides, two more Fathers, Origen and Ambrose of Milan, spoke about the unity of the humanity when they explained the parable of the lost sheep, though their interpretation of this unity is completely different. However all five Fathers have something in common, which allows me to compare their deliberations on the parable together.

The paper deals with a history of the interpretations of the texts of the New Testament. It tells us about their creation and development as well as presents the results of this process. The first part reveals subsequent stages of the practical application of the exegesis (and even traces of there being some comments in the NT as to earlier tradition) from the post-apostolic time until the Middle Ages. The second, however, concentrates on the stages of the development of a scientific interpretation of the NT’s text, taking into account the factors which stimulated it. This part spans over the period from humanism until Vatican Council II and also takes into account the repercussions which its teaching has brought about.

Paternity of Abraham was very obvious in the biblical time. Israelites treated him as their father who was chosen by God. They believed next generation would be blessed because of God’s promise for Abraham. Also arising Christianity treated him as a progenitor. But a character of his paternity changed. Christians put an accent of his very strong faith instead of physical aspect of his fatherhood. Fathers’ of the Church teaching came in the same way, although they saw him also as an example of father in the physical aspect.

Adam i Ewa jako dzieci w egzegezie syryjskiej
PL
Teologia prawosławna nie jest swoistą spekulacją opartą na rozumie jak też nie dąży do pewnej kreatywności. Wyraża ona objawioną prawdę za pomocą sformułowań i słów odpowiadających danej epoce. Główny cel teologii prawosławnej można zawrzeć w trzech punktach: katechetyczny, apologetyczny i doksologiczny. Teolog nie wyraża swojej opinii, lecz nauczanie Kościoła. Nauczanie to zgodne jest z Tradycją Kościoła, ta z kolei w pojęciu prawosławnym nie może odbiegać od całościowego nauczania Ojców Kościoła. Dlatego też jest bardzo ważnym studiowanie Ojców Kościoła. Nie można znać teologii bez poznania Ojców. Egzegeza Pisma Świętego zawsze odbywa się w duchu świętych Ojców, wówczas jest ona autentyczna i prawdziwa. Ojcowie, którzy tworzyli zawsze zsyłali się na swoich poprzedników jako na największe autorytety, tym samym umniejszając swoja rolę. W ujęciu prawosławnym nie można mówić o ramach czasowych okresu patrystycznego. Wnikliwe czytanie twórczości Ojców poprzez pryzmat duchowy i z otwartym sercem prowadzi do ich rzeczywistego poznania i odkrywania ich aktualności.

Orthodox theology is not a specific form of speculation based on reason as it does not strive for creativity. It expresses revealed truth by making use of formulations and words corresponding to a given era. The main objective of Orthodox theology can be summed up in three points: catechetic, apologetic and doxological. A theologian does not express his own opinion, but the teaching of the Church. This teaching is in line with the Tradition of the Church, which in turn, in Orthodox terms, must not deviate from the overall teachings of the Fathers of the Church. It is therefore very important to study the Fathers of the Church. One cannot understand theology without knowing the Fathers. Exegesis of Scripture always occurs in the spirit of the Holy Fathers, which guarantees that its authenticity and correctness. The Fathers always relied on their predecessors as the greatest authorities, thereby diminishing role of their own thought. From the Orthodox point of view, one cannot speak of a timeframe of the Patristic era. A careful reading of the works of the Fathers with spiritual eyes and an open heart enables one to uncover their true meaning and how they can be understood today.

Tekst stanowi propozycję krótkiej syntezy zagadnienia teologii w ramach myśli Ojców Kościoła. W oparciu o konkretne utwory literatury wczesnochrześcijańskiej staram się wpierw zdefiniować sam zakres pojęcia „teologia”, tak jak rozumiana była w starożytnym Kościele, a następnie przedstawić rozmaite źródła, z jakich czerpała ta teologia oraz różne drogi, jakimi podążała. Głównym tematem analizy jest jednak teologia spekulatywna reprezentowana przez św. Augustyna z Hippony oraz teologia moralna, za przedstawiciela której można by uznać św. Jana Chryzostoma. Podłożem dla przedstawionej analizy jest jednak napięcie, jakie od początku istnienia myśli kościelnej zaistniało pomiędzy filozofią a Objawieniem oraz wiarą i rozumem.

The article presents a proposal of brief synthesis of the theology case in the thought of Church Fathers. Firstly I try to define scope of the concept of theology based on specific examples of Early Christian literature, as it was understood in the ancient Church, and then I present a variety of sources for the theology and different ways of its evolution. The main theme of the article are specifics of speculative theology of St. Augustine of Hippo and the moral theology, which could be represent by St. John Chrystostom. The foundation of the analysis is, however, tension, which appeared in the Early Church between philosophy and Revelation, faith and reason

The above article presents the concepts of holiness developed in the patristic period by the Church Fathers and early Christian writers. Ancient Christianity has not worked out one specific model of holiness. Attempts of this kind of unification in the Western Church did not appear until the time of the scholastic theology and medieval legal theology of canonization. For patristic theology only God is holy in the full and the only sense, the holiness of a man and the things is a derivative of a relationship to this fundamental source of holiness. The article consists of two major parts: in the first – Indications of holiness – different meanings of holiness and realities referred as holy by early Christian writers have been presented. In the second part – The ways to holiness – five, the most common in the writings of the Church Fathers, concepts of holiness and sanctification of man were presented, among which we can distinguish: a deification of man, man’s sanctification in the Holy Spirit, the sanctification of man in grace, the perfection and holiness of man as a model of life promoted by the Church. To understand modern understanding of holiness and to present as a whole the issue of holiness one must consult the Tradition of the Church in the first centuries, and the writers who not only wrote about holiness, but in many cases they have become saints.

Based on the study of the Greek Fathers, anthropology of the Eastern Church does not focused either on sin, nor the nature of the fallen and a saving grace, but deification of man. The idea of deification is the main and most important feature, which permeates the eastern anthropology from beginning to end. Creation of man the image of God was to his deification, that is, participation in the realities of belonging to the order of the existence of God. Deification is the ultimate goal of created beings, full implementation of the likeness of God. As a result, Orthodox anthropology image of God is both anthropology deification, theological anthropology. Its development has contributed to specifically Russian religious thought nineteenth and early twentieth century. Since man was created in the image and likeness of the Triune God.
