Edward Kopeć

The chapter presents Edward Kopeć as one of the principal architects of contemporary Polish fundamental theology and an important representative of the Lublin theological milieu. His work sought to move beyond a purely intellectualist model of apologetics towards a more personalist understanding of Revelation and faith. Kopeć emphasised the harmony of faith and reason while also taking into account the existential dimension of the human response to Revelation. Particular attention is given to his theology of the Resurrection of Christ, understood simultaneously as a historical, theological, and existential event. The chapter portrays his work as an important stage in the transition from classical apologetics to modern fundamental theology in Poland.
