In the article the 18th century library of the Czyzów parish is presented. The information about the library is taken from the protocol of the general inspection carried out in 1748. Analysis of the list of books that is a part of the inspection protocol entitles us to define the Czyzów library as a typically pastoral one, with a predominance of books useful in preaching God's Word. Starting with the source, that is the Bible, through the works by Gregory the Great, concordance and Golden Legend to homiletic books by such outstanding preachers as Maciej Faber, Piotr Skarga, Ambrozy Nieszporkiewicz, or Szymon Starowolski, and ending with Marchant's pastoral handbook, used not only in the confessional service, but also in other kinds of parish work. Hence, it was a small collection with only ten books, but a typically practical one, concentrating as if 'in one pill' the contents that were to help priests of those times in the broadly understood cura animarum.

This essay addresses three questions: Why did Paul preach? What did Paul preach? How did Paul preach? It argues that Paul preached because he was commissioned to do so at his call/conversion when the risen Christ was revealed to him. To preach the gospel was not Paul’s decision. He was commissioned and sent to preach, and so the content of his proclamation was not his own. Like a “herald” of the ancient world, he proclaimed the message of the gospel, the announcement of Christ’s death and resurrection that was entrusted to him. Because he was a herald of the gospel, Paul did not preach with rhetorical eloquence lest he conceal the scandal of the crucified Christ. Rather, he proclaimed the gospel in a way that those who heard it had to choose whether to believe or reject the message of the cross he proclaimed. Thus, there is an intimate connection between why Paul preached, what he preached, and how he preached, which has implications for preaching today.

The paper presents one of the contemporary methods of homily preaching, referred to as neo-apologetic. Based on truth, it is meant to aim at the Truth, which is the Triune God. This will happen through the preacher's faith and reason, which will allow each listener to decide on accepting the Truth in full freedom, as well as through apologetics, understood as committed testimony of a herald of the Gospel.

Saint Ambrose (died 397) employs two zoological symbols of Christ to introduce his audience deeper into the mystery of Christ. Firstly, the paper analyses the symbol of the good serpent used by the Bishop of Milan to describe all of the history of salvation from the original purity of the first man, through his fall, the coming and victory of Christ the Saviour to the calling of the Christian faithful to become good serpents who will enter into the glory of Christ, the Good Serpent. Secondly, it studies the image of a deer surrounded by enemies and winning over the serpent, which primarily represents the divine attributes of Christ. Simultaneously, this symbol represents an invitation addressed to the Church of Milan at the end of the 4th century to listen to the voice of Christ when persecuted by those who denied Christ’s divinity. We come to the conclusion that both symbols allowed his audience to understand God’s activity as a present-day reality which the faithful can enter into. At the same time, they embody a means to clarify one of the essential truths of the Christian faith, i.e. that Christ heals humanity poisoned by sin directly in the misery of sin and death which was part of the Milanese Christians’ lives on the level of both social and economic crisis, and in the conflict with other religious groups. Both images exemplify an exhortation as to how to behave in the present-day situation: the faithful, similar to the serpent, are supposed to bring testimony-martyrdom and contemplate the coming of Christ the Word with the acute eyes of a deer.
