Summary/Abstract: Fundamental theology has been practiced at John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin for a hundred years. Our scholars conduct their research using methods developed and used by the most important academic theological centers. These primarily include a historical-synthetic method supplemented in ecclesiology with an analytical and empirical method. Over time, these methods were enriched with personalistic, historic-soteriological and semiotic contents. The elements of the semiotic-personalistic method present in Marian Rusecki's publications should be considered original and characteristic of the Lublin school. In his research on miracles and other ecclesiological issues, Rusecki applies the sign theory, giving it a very strong personalist inclination. However, this does not yet constitute a comprehensive and detailed research method, but only its initial outline.
