Polscy święci i błogosławieni
Książka zawiera biografie i pokazuje drogi do świętości konkretnych osób z rodu Polaków i tych, którzy na polskich ziemiach działali i ukończyli ziemskie pielgrzymowanie. To doskonała okazja, by poznać sylwetki, duchowość i charyzmat polskich świętych i błogosławionych, zarówno tych powszechnie znanych, jak i mniej rozpoznawalnych. Świętych i błogosławionych przedstawiono w układzie chronologicznym: od średniowiecza, przez czasy nowożytne, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem II wojny światowej, beatyfikowanych przez Jana Pawła II, aż po czasy najnowsze.
Antisemitism and Its Opponents in Modern Poland
Antisemitism and Its Opponents in Modern Poland serves as an effective guide to some of the most complex and controversial issues of Poland's troubled past. Fourteen original essays by a team of distinguished Polish and American scholars explore the different meanings, forms of expression, content, and social range of antisemitism in modern Poland from the late nineteenth century to the present. The contributors focus on both the variations in antisemitic sentiment and those Poles who opposed such prejudices. Central themes of this significant, balanced, and timely contribution to a contentious and often emotional debate include the deterioration of Polish-Jewish relations in the era of national awakening for both the Poles and the Jews, the meaning of the various forms of violence against the Jews, intellectual movements in opposition to antisemitism, the role of the Catholic Church in promoting antisemitism, and the prospects for the Church to atone for this shameful chapter in its recent history.
Trust
This is a story about Saint Faustina - the greatest Christian mystic of the twentieth century - and her devotion to the Divine Mercy, which has become the fastest spreading religious devotion in the world. This lavishly illustrated book is essentially a love story about God’s immense love for his people and the reciprocation of this love by the humble Polish nun declared a saint by Pope John Paul II. In fulfilling the mission entrusted to her, Sister Faustina met with many obstacles, but she came through all her trials victoriously. The power of her message about God’s infinite mercy, forged in the fire of adversity, has accomplished seemingly impossible things. Although coming from the ...
A History of Polish Christianity
This is a single-volume history of Christianity in Poland, a subject at the core of religious history and European secular history alike. The book covers the development of Polish Christianity from the tenth century to the year 2000, placing it in the broader context of East-Central European political, social, religious and cultural history. Jewish-Christian relations, and the problematic religious history of the Jews in the region, play an important part in the story, and there are pervasive references to countries historically linked to Poland, such as Lithuania, Belarus and the Ukraine. Jerzy Kloczowski shows how the history of Poland, and Polish Christianity, are embedded in the complex systems of relations with other countries and religious denominations. A History of Polish Christianity should be read by anyone interested in the confrontation between Christianity and the totalitarian systems of the twentieth century, and in the interplay between Eastern and Western Christianity.
Episkopat Polski z pierwszej połowy XX wieku
W prezentowanym tekście ks. prof. Józef Umiński przedstawił sylwetki 67 polskich biskupów, 4 nuncjuszy apostolskich i 3 audytorów nuncjatury w Warszawie i jak sam zaznaczył na wstępie „Rzeczy tu zawarte podaję wyłącznie z pamięci, bez jakichkolwiek znajdujących się w tej chwili pod ręką danych pisemnych lub drukowanych, i według tego, jak mi się w umyśle na podstawie zdobytych różnymi drogami dawniej wiadomości (niekiedy nawet zwykłych plotek, bo i to ma swoje znaczenie) w ciągu lat kilku czy kilkudziesięciu zarysowały”. Nie jest to zatem tekst stricte naukowy, bo nie taki był zamysł autora, ale subiektywna charakterystyka członków polskiego episkopatu z pie...
The Polish Catholic Church under German Occupation
When Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939, it aimed to destroy Polish national consciousness. As a symbol of Polish national identity and the religious faith of approximately two-thirds of Poland's population, the Roman Catholic Church was an obvious target of the Nazi regime's policies of ethnic, racial, and cultural Germanization. Jonathan Huener reveals in The Polish Catholic Church under German Occupation that the persecution of the church was most severe in the Reichsgau Wartheland, a region of Poland annexed to Nazi Germany. Here Catholics witnessed the execution of priests, the incarceration of hundreds of clergymen and nuns in prisons and concentration camps, the closure of churches, ...
Belonging to the Nation
In 1939 Nazis identified Polish citizens of German origin and granted them legal status as ethnic Germans of the Reich. After the war Poland did just the opposite: searched out Germans of Polish origin and offered them Polish citizenship. John Kulczycki’s account underscores the processes of inclusion and exclusion that mold national communities.
German Blood, Slavic Soil
German Blood, Slavic Soil reveals how Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, twentieth-century Europe's two most violent revolutionary regimes, transformed a single city and the people who lived there. During World War II, this single city became an epicenter in the apocalyptic battle between their two regimes. Drawing on sources and perspectives from both sides, Nicole Eaton explores not only what Germans and Soviets thought about each other, but also how the war brought them together. She details an intricate timeline, first describing how Königsberg, a seven-hundred-year-old German port city on the Baltic Sea and lifelong home of Immanuel Kant, became infamous in the 1930s as the easternmost...
