Chrystus kerygmatu a Chrystus dogmatu. Propozycja syntezy według personalizmu

Abstract

The problem of the Church’s identity is founded on the statement about the identity of the Christ of the kerygma and the Christ of the dogma. The question often appeared if the Christ of the New Testament is the same as the Christ of the Church. Presenting the process of passing from the kerygma to the dogma and from the dogma to the kerygma, the author of the article shows that we only have the access to the historical Jesus through the faith of the Church that is historically concrete. In order to unite the two options in Christology: the historical-salutary one and the ontological one, the author uses the rules of the so-called personalistic hermeneutics that allow joining events and persons, and in this case joining the individual history of Jesus of Nazareth and the events of the cross, sacrifice and resurrection. In this way Christ becomes the key for understanding man and God’s salutary economy.
