The text deals with the attitudes towards the body and the soul in the Ruthenian Orthodox homiliary literature in the 17th century. In some sermons one can read that people are more perfect God’s creatures than angels which have no opportunity to come back to God after their fall at the beginning of the time. Preachers emphasized many advantages of having material body, the main being: — the body is not as precious as the soul but just because of the body, human being is able to do penance, do merciful deeds towards the poor, orphans, widows, sick people; can sacrifice sufferings for the sins; — weakness and mortality of the body help people to remember that they should make efforts to achieve future joy; — human nature is not tended to evil nor is the body, and the bodily death we cannot avoid is the only way to leave worldliness and reach better life in eternity. It is a very optimistic way of thinking about the body and the soul and it seems to have its source in the Church fathers’ teachings.

“Purgatory” versus “celestial customs duty” in polemic literature of the times of the Union of Brest (Kyivan Metropolitanate): Selected examples In the Kyiv Metropolitanate, reflections about the afterlife of the soul became important right before and after the Union of Brest. The familiar polemical theme of purgatory returned and the followers of the union with Rome evoked the legendary visions of celestial customs duty (tollgates). The identification of both conceptions was meant to convince and convert the Orthodox to the Catholic doctrine. However, instead it brought about their reaction, prompting them to thoroughly confront both visions, demonstrate the similarities but also fundamental differences, and above all, to systematize their teachings. The polemical process of ordering eschatological beliefs begun in polemic literature and was continued by the authors of sermons, the works of popular theology, and was also reflected in official statements of the Orthodox Church in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Чистилище проти митарств у полемічній літературі часів берестейської унії (Київська Митрополія) — вибрані приклади Дискусії довкола теми чистилища, що не були новиною уже в конфесійній полеміці, посилилися в часи Берестейської унії та сприяли відродженню серед уніатів легендарної візії піднебесних митарств. Утотожнення митарств із чистилищем стало засобом переконати православних у правильності католицької доктрини, водночас викликало активну реакцію у відповідь. Зіткнення обох концепцій виявило не тільки подібності, але і принципові розходження між ними, спирияло систематизації уявлень та переконань представників кожної зі сторін у питаннях есхатології. Полемічна література започаткували процес формування есхатологічних вірувань, який пізніше продовжили проповідники та автори праць з популярного богослов’я, що пізніше було відображено також в офіційних заявах Православної Церкви в Польсько-Литовській державі.

In 16th–17th-century’s liturgical books one can find numerous additions regarded as redundant and optional. These paratextual elements are: verbal (e.g., prefaces, dedicational verses or letters, afterwords, introductions), iconic (schemas, illustrations) and both combined. Unnecessary materials in printed liturgiarions apart from the above-mentioned are: teachings of Jan Chrysostom, Basil the Great and Gregory Dialogos – the authors of Divine Liturgy and the short eulogistic compositions about Church Fathers, sometimes accompanied by their images. These additional elements are great evidence of development of liturgical practice, documents certifying intellectual level of Ruthenian clergy and renovating ambitions of hierarchy. For this reason, they should be widely considered as worthy sources in the study about religion reform in the Metropolitanate of Kiev and of a church culture in old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
