Paradoksy chrześcijańskiego kryzysu

Abstract

This article is a polemic with Ireneusz Ziemiński’s essay entitled Crisis of Christianity from Philosophy of Religion’s Perspective. According to Ziemiński, the crisis concerning the essence of Christianity, would be the cause of its disappearance. While I agree with Ziemiński that some elements of Christianity may be in crisis, I argue against the thesis that the crisis affects the whole of Christianity. I point out the difficulty in identifying what the essence of Christianity is and argue that Ziemiński’s diagnosis does not concern the essence of Christianity but individual denominations instead. Therefore, the central theorem of Ziemiński’s article is not justified well enough.
