The Achievements of the Lublin School of Fundamental Theology in the Field of Ecclesiology
Abstract
Academic research in the field of ecclesiology has been conducted at John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (CUL) from the beginning of its existence, among others, in the Department of Fundamental Theology headed in 1918 by Rev. Piotr Kremer. Research intensified after the creation of the second Department of Fundamental Theology—Ecclesiology (on June 23, 1958), which in the years 1964–91 was headed by Rev. Stanisław Nagy (Cardinal since 2003). Along with this, the Lublin School of Fundamental Theology developed, whose most prominent contributor was Rev. Marian Rusecki. The aim of this article is to present the achievements of the Lublin center (authors, works, research problems, its development) in the field of ecclesiology. The article will not repeat the contents of other articles included in this volume[1] but will be composed of the following sections: (1) the ecclesiological contents before the establishment of the Lublin School of Fundamental Theology, (2) the ecclesiological contents in the works of Rev. Edward Kopeć, (3) the ecclesiological achievements of Rev. Stanisław Nagy and his students, (4) the ecclesiological achievements of Rev. Marian Rusecki and his students, and (5) a conclusion.
[1] Especially those written by Rev. Jacenty Mastej, Rev. Marek Żmudziński, Rev. Paweł Borto and Rev. Krzysztof Kaucha.
