„Idźcie i głoście” – to wezwanie, jakie usłyszeli od Jezusa Apostołowie (zob. Mt 10,7; Mk 16,15). Wezwanie to kryje w sobie nie tylko element posłania, misji, ale również tajemnicę niezwykłego powołania do pójścia za Jezusem oraz tworzenia głębokiej z Nim relacji. W niniejszym artykule autor podejmuje próbę odczytania podobnych elementów w biblijnej i pozabiblijnej tradycji dotyczącej Abrahama. Okazuje się, że tradycja ta w wielu miejscach wykazuje cechy podobieństwa do ewangelicznych opowiadań o życiu i działalności grona Dwunastu. Daje w ten sposób podstawę, by dostrzec w Abrahamie postać Apostoła – Apostoła z Księgi Rodzaju.

„And preach as you go” – this is the call which the apostles heard from Jesus (see Mt 10:7; Mc 16:15). This call comprises not only the elements of mission, but also a mystery of an unusual vocation to follow Jesus and to build a profound relation with Him. In this article the author makes attempt to find similar elements in biblical and extrabiblical tradition concerning Abraham. It turns out that this tradition shows certain similarities to the Gospel narratives concerning life and activity of twelve disciples of Jesus. In this way it constitutes basis to discover in the person of Abraham an apostle – the Apostle of the Book of Genesis.

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.

Pour l’auditeur de jadis et aujourd’hui lecteur, la réflexion d’Origène († 253/54) sur Abraham est organiquement liée à un appel à la réflexion, à la puissance, à la richesse et à l’efficacité de sa foi. Cette dimension existencielle de son exégèse homiletique reste toujours actuelle. Le Maître d’Alexandre enseigne surtout comment approfondir les mystères de la révélation inclus dans l’Ecriture Sainte. L’apprentissage de ce savoir-faire est pour lui beaucoup plus important que l’interprétation concrète du texte qu’il présente. Origène tient beaucoup à ce que les auditeurs sachent eux-mêmes plonger dans le texte inspiré, s’approchant ainsi mieux du Dieu vivant. Origène, attribuant à Abraham des capacités extraordinaires de connaissance, révèle sa façon gnostique de penser.

In this article entitled 'Abraham: the one w ho against hope, in hope believed' we have tried to defin a hope in terms of narrative transformation of Abraham's identity. Abraham as a member of a genealogical tree of Terah lived in a history and a world of his father, unable to live his own independent life (Gen 11,27-32). Only the word of God's promise (Gen 12,1-3) bas been powerful enough to turn him into a new person, opened towards future. In this process hope bas been playing an indispensable role. Shaped by the promise it transgresses every historical circumstances towards eschatological goal.

Lascelta di Abramo (Gen 12,1-4a), un impenisrsi di Dioda parte di Israele diventato ormai una nazione in Egitto (Ex 1-15) e finalmente la proposta di un patto sui Sinai (Ex 19,4-8) dimostrano chiaramente che Dio sceglie una persona e poi una nazione non per se stessa, ma aveodo in mira uno scopo univerasale. Il Pentateuco comincia con un racconto riguardante un uomo come tale senza indicare la sua nazionalita o provenienza etnica particalare. Anzi tutte le nazioni anno gli stessi antenati (Adam o Noe). Scegliendo una sola linea genealogica Dio non vuole lasciar perdere altri uomini, ma altraverso preparazione di una nazione speciale far ritoranere tutta la umanita da se.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Greek text of Sir 44:22-23, but it also takes into account the Hebrew version of the praise of Isaac and Jacob. The main aim of the article is to read Sirach’s depiction of these two patriarchs in his Praise of the Fathers (Sir 44:1 – 50:24) and the role and significance that he attributes to them in Israel’s history. The analysis conducted shows that the Jerusalem sage based his presentation of Isaac and Jacob exclusively on the Book of Genesis, not referring to any theological traditions connected with the patriarchs that were known during the Second Temple period. The principal role played by the two patriarchs in the history of the chosen nation is passing on to the subsequent generation the covenant that God made with Abraham and the promises related to it (Isaac’s substantial passivity in this role has to be pointed out). It is this motif that is emphasized in Sir 44:22-23, as a result of which other important events from the patriarchs’ lives are completely overlooked, including the justification of Jacob’s stealing of Isaac’s blessing for his firstborn son.

The aimof the article was an analisys of the character of the Melchisedek Episode (Gn 14,18-20). The analisys shows that the text manifests the characteristics that linkit with its context and that manifest its distinctness too; also that the text contains the words both antic and recent. This revealsits composite character. The division of the text in two parts: the narrative part (vv. 18.20b) and the speech (vv. 19-20a) shows that the former part contains the recent vocabulary and that it contains the characteristics that distinct the text from its context. The speech contains the antic words and all the characteristics that link the text with its context are situated here. The contextis an antic text so we conclude that the speech (vv. 19-20a) is an original part of the story of Gn 14. The narrative part (vv. 18.20b) is added in a later time by an editor that introduced into the story the figure of Melchizedek and put in his mouth the words of the king of Sodom.
PL
Celem artykułu była analiza charakteru literackiego fragmentu opowiadającego o spotkaniu Abrahama z Melchizedekiem (Rdz 14, 18-20). Z analizy wynika, że fragment wykazuje cechy, które łączą go z jego kontekstem jak i takie, które wykazują jego odrębność oraz że zawiera słownictwo zarówno antyczne jak i późniejsze. To wskazuje na jego złożony charakter. Dzieląc fragment na część narracyjną (ww. 18.20b) oraz mowę (ww. 19-20a) zauważamy, że część narracyjna zawiera słownictwo późniejsze a nie zawiera tego antycznego oraz że wykazuje cechy wykazujące jego odrębność. Przeciwnie natomiast mowa – ta zawiera słownictwo antyczne a wszystkie cechy łączące fragment z kontekstem zawierają się właśnie tutaj. Ponieważ kontekst (Rdz 14) jest tekstem antycznym, stwierdzamy, że mowa (ww. 19-20a) tworzy oryginalną część opowiadania Rdz 14. Część narracyjna (ww. 18.20b) została dodana później przez redaktora, który wprowadził do opowiadania postać Melchizedeka i w jego usta włożył słowa króla Sodomy.

Artykuł omawia i analizuje historię Abrahama i egzystencjalne implikacje, które z niej wypływają. W opinii autora historia ta ukazuje trzy szczególnie ważne aspekty: zbawienie jako wyzwolenie od lęku, głęboką wolność płynącą z takiego doświadczenia i posłuszeństwo Bogu jako przekroczenie tego, co rozumowo poznawalne. Wszystkie te (powiązane z sobą) aspekty życia chrześcijańskiego są niezwykle ważne. Dziś, kiedy kultura jest w przeważającej mierze antychrześcijańska, przekazuje i promuje anty chrześcijańskie wzorce i wartości, jest szczególnie istotne, żeby wiara była wiarą odważną.

The article reviews and analyses the history of Abraham and its existential implications. The author claims that the story reveals three particularly important aspects: the salvation as liberation from fear, deep freedom resulting from that experience and obedience to God as exceeding what is impossible to understand. All these interrelated aspects of Christian life are truly essential. Since modern culture seems to be predominantly and increasingly anti Christian and it shows and promotes anti Christian values and patterns of behaviour, it is particularly important for the faith to be a brave one.

The history of the discussion upon Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 18,16-33) is very often interpreted as an example of the power of prayer. The article shows that the story is to be understood as a praise for God's righteousness. God's activity is to be determined by his mercy, and even God's punishment is a result of his care for oppressed and of his desire to stop the injustice being commited. The article also presents the history of the redaction of the pericope and its main Jewish and Christian interpretations.
PL
Historia sporu Abrahama z Bogiem o Sodomę i Gomorę (Rdz 18,16-33) traktowana jest nierzadko jako przykład skuteczności modlitwy wstawienniczej. Artykuł pokazuje, że opowiadanie o zniszczeniu Sodomy i Gomory należy rozumieć jako pochwałę Bożej sprawiedliwości. Boże działanie determinowane jest przez jego miłosierdzie, a karanie wynika z troski o pokrzywdzonych i z pragnienia położenia kresu popełnianej niesprawiedliwości. Artykuł omawia także historię redakcji perykopy oraz przedstawia jej podstawowe żydowskie i chrześcijańskie interpretacje.

The article is devoted to the presentation of Abraham in the Greek textof the Praise of the Fathers (Sir 44:19-21). Only 13 verses are devoted tothe patriarch, but his description carries a wealth of theological meaning.Sirach presents Moses as an ideal and a model to follow for himself, hiscontemporaries and all believers (cf. Sir 44:19b). First of all, he emphasizesAbraham’s moral and religious perfection (cf. Sir 44:20), which manifesteditself in his abiding by the Law (cf. Sir 44:20a) and respecting the covenantwith God, reflected primarily through the sign of circumcision (cf. Sir44:20bc). Abraham was completely loyal to God and proved his loyaltyduring a trial (cf. Sir 44:20d). Sirach stresses especially one’s attitude tothe covenant with God as the most important aspect of a believer’s life; inthis respect Abraham should be a model to emulate. In the final part of the fragment the sage focuses on the result of Abraham’s faithfulness to God.The Lord promised him numerous offspring (cf. Sir 44:21cd) and an inheritance encompassing the whole Earth (cf. Sir 44:21e-g). Sirach emphasizes the special position of Abraham’s offspring among the nations (the latter will receive blessings through the former; cf. Sir 44:21b). What is more, Abraham’s offspring will be elevated over other nations (cf. Sir 44:21d). What is particularly noteworthy in Sirach’s reinterpretation of Abraham is that the patriarch respected the Law and that the sage attributed Messianic features to him.

This article deals with the process of the formation of the traditionsconcerning the three patriarchs in the book of Genesis. It can already bestated that the traditions concerning Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were initiallyformed independently of each other. Chronological priority shouldbe assigned to the tradition concerning Jacob. It was originally somehowcombined with the tradition concerning Isaac (in Amos), and at the timebefore the exile it constituted the earliest point of reference for seeking theroots and identity of Israel. Only by the end of the exile did the particulartime and situation cause the local Judaean traditions concerning Abrahamto play a greater role also from a theological aspect. Abraham then becamenot only a model of faith and an example of behaviour for the exiles and therepatriates, but also from a the first link in the chain of the three patriarchs.It is possible that at that time some of the motifs of the story of Abrahamwere borrowed from the traditions concerning Isaac (cf. Gen 26).

The history of Israel is connected with Abraham, who is depicted in the Bible not only in the genealogical sense – as the protoplast of the Israeli nation but also in the religious sense – as “the father of faith” for he is the pillar of both Jewish and Christian faith. Those who believe in one God, touch the person of Abraham, constantly refer to his experience of faith and reflect upon it themselves. The author of this paper focuses on the analysis of the problems contained in the following statement “Abraham – the father of faith in biblical tradition” The paper consists of three parts. In the first part, the author presents Abraham as a historic figure, based on biblical and extra-biblical sources. The second part is devoted to the analysis of biblical sources that present Abraham as the father of “believers”. In the third part of the paper, the author discusses New Testament sources relating to the kerygma of Abraham, based on the Letter to the Romans, Letter to the Galatians, and Letter to the Hebrews.

Abraham versus Jacob

This article deals with the formation process of the traditions concerning the three patriarchs from the book of Genesis. It can already be stated that the traditions of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were initially formed independently of one other. The chronological priority should be assigned to the tradition of Jacob. It was originally combined with the tradition of Isaac (in Amos), and before the exile it constituted the earliest point of reference for the search of roots and identity. It was only towards the end of the exile that the particular time and situation resulted in the local, Judaean traditions of Abraham starting to play a greater role also in the theological aspect. Abraham became then not only a model of faith, and an example of behaviour for the exiles and the repatriates, but also the first link in the chain of the three patriarchs. Some motifs in the story of Abraham may have been at that time borrowed from the traditions of Isaac (cf. Gen 26).

Who was the “historical” Abraham and where did he come from? It is difficult to find an unambiguous answer to these questions. The article focuses on analyzing the Egyptian text from the time of Sheshonq I which mentions a place sometimes identified as “Abram’s field / fort”. However, this interpretation is pointed out as being uncertain and even very questionable. The next two points of analysis are biblical texts (Deut 26:5a; Gen 11:27-32). The names of Abraham’s family members are toponymic (male) or sym-bolic (female), constituting female nicknames associated with the worship of the moon god. Their analysis suggests the region of Charan, between the Euphrates and Habur riv-ers, where the worship of the moon god was very popular. These areas were previous-ly inhabited by the Amorites, and then by the Arameans. The article concludes that the “historical” Abraham may have come from the vicinity of Charan and had Amorite roots, while identification with the Arameans was only a typological element resulting from the experience of the same fate (deuteronomist). It was only later reinterpreted in favor of Jacob (cf. Gen 46:1-7), and finally in favor of Abraham in the final edition.

CEL NAUKOWY: Artykuł ukazuje osobotwórcze znaczenie rodziny w przymierzu Starego Testamentu. W starotestamentalnym objawieniu Boga dokonuje się demitologizacja ludzkiej seksualności, której efektem jest oczyszczenie obrazu transcendentnego Boga z seksual­nych odniesień. Płynąca z niej sekularyzacja ludzkiej sek­sualności nie oznacza wyłączenia jej ze sfery świętej, ale ukazuje płciowość jako część dzieła stworzenia, wiążąc ją z odpowiedzialnością rozumnego i wolnego człowie­ka oraz ze szczególnym błogosławieństwem Boga. Takie oczyszczenie pozwala w miłości mężczyzny i kobiety do­strzec sposób realizowania się przymierza z Bogiem, jak również obraz tego przymierza. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Artykuł wpi­suje się w nurt historycznych badań nad antropologią relacyjną i krytyczną refleksję nad kulturą czasów współ­czesnych. Jego celem jest ukazanie religijnego i osobotwór­czego znaczenia rodziny w strukturze przymierza Starego Testamentu. PROCES WYWODU: Osobotwórcza rola rodziny una­ocznia się w historii Abrahama, w której widoczne jest, że przymierze nie ma wypełnić się przez samo płodzenie potomstwa, ale poprzez wychowanie dzieci, mające religijny charakter, dokonujące się w przestrzeni rodzinnej i łączące się z przekonaniem o budowaniu siły narodu. Bardzo waż­nym elementem tego wychowania jest rodzinna liturgia, z właściwym jej pry­matem ojca, odsyłającym do prymatu Boga Ojca. Szczególna rola ojca ukazuje się w trzech celebracjach: przyniesienia do świątyni i wykupu pierworodnego syna, obrzezania oraz paschy. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Religia Starego Testamentu ma charakter osobotwórczy, tzn. prowadzi do ujawnienia, oświetlenia i dowartościowania podstawowych wymiarów osoby, takich jak: znaczenie płci, relacyjny charakter osoby ze względu na jej zróżnicowanie płciowe, znaczenie ojcostwa, macierzyń­stwa i ludzkiej płodności. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Odczytanie znaczenia tych rodzinnych uroczystości może mieć znaczenie także dzisiaj dla pogłębie­nia więzi rodzinnych i zrozumienia roli rytuałów społecznych oraz religijnych w budowaniu rodziny, która pozostaje pierwszym i podstawowym miejscem tworzenia dojrzałej osobowości każdego człowieka, mężczyzny i kobiety.

Contemporary biblical studies find it difficult to determine the date of Gen 18,16-33. Although most of the scholars agree that the final editor of the text must have been under a strong influence of the deuteronomistic as well as sapiential language and ideas. The aim of this article is to point out a new concept of God's justice developed in the story of Abraham's discourse with God. Using the metbod of egzegetical analysis tbe author shows how the theological understanding of justice in this text developes towards the idea of charity where a small group of rightenous men (10 in number) is anabled to save a majority of siners. This new theological meaning of God's justice may be comprised somewhere between Ez 14,12-23 and Jr 5,1; Ez 22,30, finaily finds its summit in Is 53.

In the Gospel scene of the Visitation Luke hints at three basie aspects ( or better to say: levels) of Mary's faith. The first one is the "parental" faith ofthe Virgin, believing that she has really become pregnant - the words of Elisabeth are for Mary the first clear evidence of this fact. The second aspect is the "theological" belief that Mary's Son will be the Messiah and the divine Deliverer of all the oppressed God's people. And finally, the "model" faith: all the disciples of Christ should imitate Mary's total and active obedience to the Word ofthe Lord, which can be transmitted somehow or other. All these aspects shape the Lucan picture o f Mary as new Abraham of the new epoch of the history o f salvation.
