A precise survey shows a variety of motifs dealing with the figure of Saint Ladislaus. The main question of the study is to what extent the Baroque speeches transmit the figure of St. Ladislaus as described in medieval sermons? It is showed that there are many links but it it impossible to find a direct relationship between baroque literature and medieval texts.

Social and moral issues were given remarkable prominence in the discourse of the Age of Enlightenment. They were often tackled in literary works, journalist columns, philosophical and law-making treatises as well as in sermons. These issues were also given much attention by a Reformati preacher from Przemyśl, Fr Konrad Kawalewski (1758-1832). The subject-matter of his sermons was very much in tune with the problems widely discussed by the leading exponents of this genre during the Age of Enlightenment. In this paper its author focuses mostly on such questions as marriage, family relations, the social status of women, games and entertainments and drunkenness, since Fr Kawalewski devoted to them most of his attention as a keen observer and a moral judge. Konrad Kawalewski's sermons have become an inherent part of the homiletic tradition of the city of Przemyśl and they help create an image of the mentality and social life of the society of the Age of Enlightenment.

The content of the article describes the problem of religious individualism shaping by the sermons. This is manifested in the fact, that the authors of sermons systematically promote some content with the doctrine of the Catholic Church and other regularly ignore. Preachers making certain choices are building a culture of individualism. This article will present an original model of the communication act, which explains the mechanism of the development of religious individualism. In addition, article presents the results of empirical studies, which argue topicality of the described problem.

Article focuses on handwritten sermons by Father Krzysztof Kluk. We don't know if examined manuscript was the autographed, but its copy, probably made in the first decade of the nineteenth century. The scribe wrote the text as faithfully as possible, but the phenomena of language associated with the graphicphonetic plane, or the flexion of the monument in relation to Krzysztof Kluk's idiolect must decide with a caution. It should, however, ask ourselves whether in the sermons are noticed such language elements that do not fit into a dedicated text language system and may indicate the impact of the copyist? It seems that the answer to this question can be given – that is the purpose of this sketch – analyzing the inflexion system of Kluk's orations. It should be inflected the forms, which are hapax legomena in the text, while there are variants of newer, progressive trends in the Polish language the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, especial-ly if the text confirms the system functioning within a given flexemic category older ending or variant inflection of the word.

The study analyses political sermons by Matthias Hoë von Hoënegg, the main pastor at the court of the Elector of Saxony. Political sermons constitute a noteworthy source to which the German historiography has started to pay attention only lately. These sermons were usually delivered during various political events such as indulgences or Land Diets, but they could be published also on the occasion of the ruler’s birthday. Thanks to his office, Matthias Hoë was well acquainted with the political situation at the Dresden Court during the Thirty Years’ War and his sermons thus served as a tool for legitimizing the Elector of Saxony’s political course.

The aim of the paper is to analyze religious discourse with the use of the instruments of semantics and pragmatics. Essentially, it sets out to identify the linguistic elements which enable the illocutionary force in the Romanian orthodox sermons, especially in the discourse of some important figures which have influenced and still influence the Romanian orthodox theology and the religious life in Romania: Father Cleopa, Father Nicolae Steinhardt, and, nowadays, Father Teofil Pârâianu. It is usually assumed that a sermon implies, on the one hand, a kerugmatik action, that of annunciation, and, on the other hand, a translating action of the biblical induce the human will to practice the words in order to Christian precepts. Mutatis mutandis, the perlocutionary effect depends on the illocutionary act and of the illocutionary force. In theory, the illocutionary force of an utterance is strictly motivated by the pragmatic (Ionescu-Ruxăndoiu 2003). But there are linguistic elements which function as efficient markers of the illocutionary force (Austin 1962: 73-76), for example performative verbs, verbal moods and some adverbs. The criteria proposed by Searle in order to differentiate the illocutionary acts (illocutionary point of utterance, direction of fit, psychological state, intensity, etc.) resulted in the identification of several types inside this class. Searle's taxonomy serves the research purposes: the identification of illocutionary acts found in this kind of religious discourse and, finally, outlining a pattern of manifestation of the illocutionary force inside the sermon.

This article examines the way Augustine draws on the theological virtue of hope to address how people should live in times of suffering. Of the three theological virtues – faith, hope, and love – hope is the least explored theme in contemporary Augustinian scholarship. This article develops a framework for Augustine’s model of hope from his Enchiridion and then applies it to select Sermons and Letters. Through this, we see that for Augustine hope does not represent either an anesthetizing, otherworldly vision that neglects suffering or an extreme ascetic embrace of suffering. Rather, hope seeks the transcendent good that acknowledges the profound depth of suffering while also maintaining a vision of happiness to come. Here, Augustine draws on hope to maintain a tension between temporal and eternal life, between the present reality of suffering and the future hope of happiness. We will also see a close connection between hope and its compatriots of faith and love, a connection Augustine utilizes to explore how hope transforms the moral and spiritual principles that guide our actions in the world.

This study focuses on the so-called Revocation Sermons (Revocations-Predigte, also referred to as Wiederrufs-Predigte), i.e. the sermons in which their authors, clergymen, publicly renounced their Catholic faith and declared their adherence to a Protestant faith. They are, in fact, a type of primary source which is a component of the contemporary controversy, which was a discourse both theological and ecclesiastical-political in its nature. They highlight the complexity of contemporary religious situations and the issue of conversion (and apostasy), including, to a certain degree, also the problem of confessional violence and the awareness of it.

The only surviving manuscript of a sermon pronounced by Stefan Jaworski in Kyiv on 8 September 1693 includes a “funeral note” commemorating Łazarz Baranowicz’s death. Jaworski’s sermon and funeral note, which in the extant witness follows the sermon, have neither been published nor studied before. By providing an analysis of both, the aim of this paper is to investigate and compare the works of the two preachers and poets, and to draw some conclusions about their personalities, poetic style, and worldview. Baranowicz’s poems and Jaworski’s sermon also provide some interesting details which shed new light on the literary and cultural milieu of Kyiv and Czernihów in the last three decades of the 17th century.

The article shows the names of the sacrament of penance used in Piotr Skarga’s sermons. The analyzed material has been taken from Kazania o śiedmi Sákrámentách, published in 1600 in Krakow by Andrzej Piotrkowczyk publishing house, whereas the comparative material has originated from Słownik polszczyzny XVI wieku and other publications about religious language, which are enumerated in the bibliography. The analysis of the materials shows that Skarga has not created new names for the sacrament of conversion. They have the same forms as in the Bible or in the papers of Church Fathers, namely penance, the sacrament of the confession, the sacrament of the penance, reconciliation, absolution. The preacher uses also comparisons and metaphors, eg. bathhouse, plank (second plank), as shipwreck plank, for showing the doctrine of the sacrament precisely.

St. Chromatius, bishop of Aquileia, who lived at the turn of the IV and V cen­tury, as a zealous pastor, led by concern for the salvation of his faithful, undertook in his predicatory teaching an explanation of the queations of faith. Without in­dications of any polemics – as one might expect – with the Arianism which was spread through the Gothic invaders, he did it, not ignoring however the important doctrinal aspect which constitutes the basis of the act of faith. He teaches, that to believe means to walk incessantly the Christ’s way of righteousness, know thanks to the proclaimed Gospel. Receiving the holy baptism is the beginning of that way. In a simple, but interesting at the same time, preaching being not infre­quently the fruit of an allegorical, often amazing interpretation of the Bible events and signs know to his listeners, the bishop of Aquileia furthermore encourages to fidelity to the chosen way of righteousness, making his listeners aware that walk­ing this way means not only walking a way that is free from wrongdoing, which brings concrete fruits, of which the most valuable is the eternal salvation. Being aware of many menaces in spiritual life, he also warns in his sermons against the danger of losing the faith.

The article Holiness of the Church according to Sermons of St. Peter Chrysologus presents one aspect of the ecclesiology of the bishop of Ravenna. Among the most popular questions, which are evidenced in his theological reflection, it is necessary to evidence, that Church Fathers focus their attention on an ontological aspect of the Church’s holiness which finds its foundation in Christ. Frequent references to ideas of the Mystical Body of Christ or the Church as a spouse of Christ confirm our opinion. It is necessary to admit that these themes, like other questions, developed in Chrysologus’s sermons (the role of the sacrament or belief that there is no salvation outside the Church) are already known in the patristic literature. Therefore the ecclesiology of the bishop of Ravenna is not original. However, taking into consideration the pastoral dimension of his teaching, it is clear that the objective of his sermons was different than to present an ecclesiological treatise. The results of analytical researches allow to complete the picture of the doctrine of the Church by its unknown aspect, contained in the teaching of the bishop of Ravenna.

This article centers on the literary achievements of preacher Antoni Węgrzynowicz (1658-1721) from the collection Nuptiae Agni . Gody Baranka apokaliptycznego…  (Krak.w 1711) – „Nuptials of the Apocalyptic Lamb” (transl.) – in which there are, among other things, a series of conceptual sermons – refer to the fragment of Apocalypse 21, 19-20, relates to the twelve precious stones being the foundations of the Heavenly Jerusalem, traditionally associated with the names of the apostles.

The article discusses these sources of knowledge and seeks to present the writing strategies used by Węgrzynowicz concerning the study of precious stones.

Artykuł wprowadza w tematykę kazań bł. biskupa Michała Kozala. Został opracowany w celu przygotowania bazy materiałowej, koniecznej do prowadzenia dalszych nad nimi badań naukowych i opracowań. Opracowanie tematu uzasadniła potrzeba ukazania wpływu Błogosławionego na dzieje Kościoła i Polski, w pierwszych dziesiątkach lat XX wieku. Cele, jakie stawiał sobie w bogatej tematyce kazań, sprowadzał do kształtowania takiego poziomu duchowo-moralnego, aby miał swoje urzeczywistnienie najpierw w realiach życia ówczesnych rodzin. W ich zaś perspektywie widział z kolei możliwość ewangelizacyjnego ich oddziaływania na całokształt życia Kościoła, społeczeństwa, Narodu, a nawet świata. Dążył w nich do integrowania życia wiernych świeckich chrześcijan z lokalną wspólnotą parafialną, z Kościołem, życiem społeczno-politycznym i patriotyzmem. Tematykę kazań opierał na doktrynie chrześcijańskiej. W artykule uwzględniono kazania niedzielne i świąteczne dla dorosłych, egzorty niedzielne i świąteczne dla młodzieży, kazania tematyczne i okolicznościowe oraz nauki pasyjne. Materiałem badawczym były więc rękopisy kazań Błogosławionego, opracowane i wydane w wersji papierowej. Analiza źródeł umożliwiła przeprowadzenie uszeregowania kazań pod względem tematycznym, wskazanie celów i sposobu ich przeprowadzenia wraz z konkluzją egzystencjalną. W ramach podjętego studium wyłoniły się następujące tematy: O Bogu Trójedynym, o Kościele, o sakramentach, o świętych, o życiu chrześcijańskim oraz o patriotyzmie i życiu społeczno-politycznym. One wyznaczyły strukturę niniejszego artykułu. Opracowana tematyka zapewne inspiruje do podejmowania dalszych badań nad twórczością kaznodziejską Błogosławionego.

Artykuł opiera się na analizie kazania CCXVI Ubi est, qui natus est, rex Iudaeorum? Mi­kołaja z Kuzy. Wskazuje na jego dużą zależność od Expositio sancti Evangelii secundum Iohan­nem Mistrza Eckharta i omawia obecną u obu autorów koncepcję Boga jako locus omnium, która nawiązuje z kolei do myśli Jana Szkota Eriugeny. Kazanie CCXVI dowodzi znaczenia proble­ma­tyki chrystologicznej dla myśli Kuzańczyka oraz jest przykładem, jak gatunek kazania wpływa na organizację i eksplikację treści filozoficznych. Wśród nich Mikołaj z Kuzy umieścił problem relacji między Bogiem a stworzeniem, a także koncepcję czasu i miejsca. Podejmując analizę pytań o wieczność świata i o Boga przed stworzeniem, Kuzańczyk zawarł również w kazaniu ukrytą obronę tez Eckharta potępionych w papieskiej bulli In agro dominico.

The article contains the analysis of Cusanus’ Sermon CCXVI Ubi est qui natus est rex Iudae­orum?, describes its dependence on Expositio sancti Evangelii secundum Iohannem by Meister Eckhart and discusses the idea of God as locus omnium, present in both authors, as well as in the thought of John Scotus Eriugena. Sermon CCXVI demonstrates the importance of christology in Cusanus’ work and is an example of how the sermon genre affects the organization and ex­pli­cation of philosophical issues, such as the problem of the relationship between God and creation and the concept of time and space. Moreover, Nicholas of Cusa analyses the questions of the eternity of the world and of God’s place before creation. In this way, he defends some of Eck­hart’s teaching, condemned in the papal Bull In agro dominico.
