Streszczenie:
The article discusses the significance of biographical entries in Lexicon of Pastoral Theology edited by R. Kamiński, W. Przygoda and M. Fiałkowski in 2006. First a description of the structure of the discussed biographical entries is presented, and then the role is shown that they play in the Lexicon. A presentation of profiles of well-known foreign and Polish pastoral theologians, their views and their ample achievements, complements the objective entries contained in the Lexicon. This allows a fairly complete presentation of pastoral theology, the directions in which it develops, and the challenges it faces in the contemporary world.
