Kierunki badań w homiletyce polskiej na podstawie zawartości Bibliografii homiletycznej

Abstract

A bibliographic database allows every researcher to locate desired books, dissertations, articles, summaries and reviews. It is a valuable source of information on publications in a field of a given scientific discipline. It applies in particular to the constantly updated electronic bibliographies. The aim of this paper is to present directions of research in Polish homiletics based on the electronic content of The Homiletic Bibliography. In 2006–2015 The Homiletic Bibliography expanded by 800 added items on homiletic issues. In the latest publications Polish homilists meet many demands formulated in relation to them. They point at a priority role of a homily in preaching the Word of God and emphasise a mistagogic dimension of a homily. Issues related to a formal homiletics are widely discussed, with a special emphasis on the rhetorical dimension of preaching.
