Izrael i Maryja – obietnica i realizacja. Symbolika Starego Testamentu w mariologii nowotestamentalnej

Abstract

Unity and mutual dependency of the Old and the New Testament are requisites of correct interpretation and understanding of Christian doctrine. The above mentioned principle is also binding on the doctrine in the field of Mariology. It would be difficult to understand New Testament Mariology excepting prophecies and symbolism of the Old Testament The paper uses Old Testament implications not only in reference to the basic theological theses in the field of Mariology (Divine maternity, conceiving of the Holy Spirit), but also to justify statements which stem from the cult of the Virgin Mary and popular devotion.
