Chrześcijańskie rozumienie czasu i historii. Uwagi na marginesie Listu Apostolskiego Tertio millennio adveniente
Christian understanding of time and history. Notes on the margins of the Apostolic Letter Tertio millennio adveniente

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the Christian conception of time and history. These ideas are analyzed according to the papal letter Tertio millennio adveniente. Redemption is at the same time the historical fact as the event of grace. The awareness of the absolute gratuity of divine interventions in history reveals the most objective value of the Christian life. Christianity brought the new conception of time and history. Time becomes in Jesus Christ - Incarnate Word - the dimension of God who is eternal in himself. On the threshold of the third millennium, Christianity saw its turn not only chronologically but also religiously and culturally. Reading papal documents understands the essence of current changes and teaches how Christian ideas can be realized in our times.
