Marcion: A New Perspective on his Life, Theology, and Impact

2010

The main argument of the present article is that previous scholarship has turned Marcion’s exegesis of Scripture upside down. He did not find the inspiration for his doctrine in the teachings of the Apostle Paul, it is the Old Testament and its portrait of an inconsistent, vengeful and cruel God which forms the centre of his theology. Marcion does not understand the Old Testament in the light of the New, he interprets the New Testament in the light of the Old.

Teologiczna periodyzacja dziejów Kościoła w Chinach

2022

Periodyzacja teologiczna historii Kościoła w Chinach jest próbą określenia momentów granicznych różnych okresów życia chrześcijańskiego na podstawie kryterium teologicznego. Wiele prób periodyzacji przyjmuje kryteria polityczne, organizacyjne czy administracji kościelnej. Tymczasem na Dalekim Wschodzie tym, co decyduje o jakości i zakorzenieniu chrześcijaństwa, jest teologia rodzima, która posługuje się kulturą i językiem swojego narodu. W Chinach było wiele naprzemiennych okresów rozkwitu i prześladowań. Ponadto nie wszystkie okresy, określane przez historyków jako rozwój, były czasem rozkwitu teologii.

Alma pater?

2021

Abstract In antiquity, breast milk was an elixir for every nursling. Despite this, there are but very few passages in the Bible that mention nursing.

The motif of male providers of milk appears in numerous first and second century sources dependent on and independent from Paul. An overview of sources of Christ-believers from the first two centuries demonstrates that in characterizations of the lactating Godfather and the nursing Christ, the motifs of nursing and breastmilk continuously loses its real life connotation as something female thing and becomes predominant…

What ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ are the στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου?

2014

The expression τὰ στοιχεῖα τοῦ κόσμου is one of the most discussed, and most disputed, phrases in Galatians. In the following article, insight into the meaning of this phrase is sought by first of all clarifying and summarising the full scope of issues which must be explained by any interpretation of the phrase. Such a summary overview has often not appeared in various scholarly discussions. Subsequently, the primary proposed interpretations are discussed with the argument ultimately being made that it is Paul’s conception of ‘the world’ which provides the key to a solution to the interpretive conundrum that best satisfies the entire context of Paul’s letter and argument.
