Eugeniusz Tomaszewski

The chapter presents Eugeniusz Tomaszewski as a theologian working at the intersection of classical apologetics and renewed fundamental theology. The central area of his research was fundamental Christology and the historical and theological credibility of Jesus Christ. Tomaszewski engaged with modern biblical scholarship and critically assessed reductionist interpretations of the Gospels, including Rudolf Bultmann’s programme of demythologisation. His Christological studies were complemented by ecclesiological reflection on the apostolicity of the Church, apostolic succession, and Petrine primacy. His work illustrates the transition from traditional apologetics towards a more historical and dialogical model of fundamental theology.
