    A Year in Stanisław Grzepski’s (1524–1570) "De multiplici siclo et talento hebraico"
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Linke, Waldemar
    The article explores Stanisław Grzepski’s workshop of biblical exegesis and his hermeneutics. By analyzing his analysis of the system of biblical measurements and his views on the concept of the year in the Jewish-biblical world – as derived and reconstructed on the basis of textual comparison of the Hebrew, Greek and Latin versions of the Scripture, along with thorough mathematical calculations – one can perceive Grzepski’s approach to the Bible. His hermeneutics, seen against the background of the presuppositions of medieval and Renaissance exegesis, allow the author of the article to draw certain conclusions concerning the threats that also modern exegesis should be cautious of.

    Jesus Christ, Glory and Cognition. Is Eph 1:15–23 a Judaistic and/or Hellenistic Christian Text?
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021) Linke, Waldemar
    The paper is an interpretation of Eph 1:15-23, which is a consequence of the shorter version of Eph 1:15 (without the words: τὴν ἀγάπην). It is an attempt to answer the question of who the “saints” are in this verse and the entire pericope, what background (Hellenistic or Judaic) this concept has, and what was the character of the church community in this city in the post-Pauline period. The method used in this paper consists of historical and contextual analysis of lexicographical end ideological material used in the pericope. The first step is a study of the rhetorical structure of Eph as the instrument for interpretation of the role of the pericope in the meaning of the text. The second part of the paper is presented the binary way of exposition: in the language of Judaism and in the Hellenistic terms. From this perspective, the category of “saints” is described. From this analysis it is concluded: “saints” are the group belonging to the Judeo-Christian component of the Church, the political substructure of the Church, but not in terms of the separation, but of the pluralistic unity.

    Kara wieczna i jej przeciwwaga w Mt 25,46
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2019) Linke, Waldemar
    „Kara wieczna” w Mt 25,31-46 to pojęcie symetryczne do „życia wiecznego”. Symetryzm cechuje całą jednostkę kompozycyjną, do której należy ta perykopa. Jest też ona realizacją modelu obecnego już w Ewangelii według św. Marka, ale rozwiniętego w Ewangelii według św. Mateusza. Model składa się z trzech części: przypowieści, separatora oraz alegoryzującej interpretacji początkowej przypowieści. W tym kontekście „kara wieczna” jest odpowiednikiem niedopuszczenia nierozumnych panien na ucztę weselną.
