Chrystologiczne aspekty w teologii św. Hieronima ze Strydonu
Christology in the writings of Saint Jerome

Summary/Abstract: Jerome from Stridon, considered as a great exegete, translator and expert on the Holy Scriptures, has left his very clear mark also in dogmatic theology. One of the leading topics in his reflection about the faith is Christology. In fact, Christ indicates in the work of Jerome his interest in the Bible. Biblical and exegetical foundations are among the most important elements of this author’s Christology. They resulted in ontological decisions – formulated in a close context, as well as under the influence and dispute with contemporary representatives of Eastern Christology, just like the internal experiences of Jerome, in which his mystical experiences came together with the reality of the Holy Land bearing the traces of the life and work of Jesus Christ. All this contributed to the recluse life of the author of Vulgata and the strict monk asceticism, so that he would not only understand Jesus but also try to imitate Him. In addition, it quite naturally led to thorough Bible study and residence in Bethlehem. Ontological and Christological solutions Jerome prepared successively and continued in his writings and teaching.
