The paper contains a history of the biblical research conducted at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin that has dealt with the quest for historical Jesus and with the historical approach to the Gospels. The author gives a broad panorama of the of Polish scholars’ contribution to that topic over the last six decades. Because of his exceptional impact on the Polish scholarship in these matters a distinct place of honour has to be ascribed to Rev. Prof. Józef Kudasiewicz.
