Chrzest w alegorycznej interpretacji Ksiąg Rodzaju i Wyjścia w homiliach św. Cezarego z Arles
Baptism in an Allegorical Interpretation of Genesis and Exodus in the Preaching of Caesarius of Arles

Summary/Abstract: St. Caesarius of Arles (470-543) is known as a great preacher, pastor, organizer of church and monastic life in Gaul. He left writings, which are still of importance to us today. The Cesearius’ sermons on Genesis and Exodus preached during Lent, call to mind numerous images of baptism where the stress is set on the mystery of the cross. That teaching on Baptism was addressed to catechumens but also to the Christian community preparing to celebrate Easter. After baptism, Christians should not be falling into sin because by doing this they could become even worse than they were before. Baptism washed away all sins and filled a man with all goods as it outgrows from the Cross, the saving act of Christ.
