Kristológia Marcella Bordoniho

Justína Ivana Kostúrová

The study deals with the Christology of Marcello Bordoni, an Italian theologian and professor at the Lateran University in Rome, who significantly influenced the development of Christology in Italy after the Second Vatican Council. He belonged to a generation of theologians formed before the Council, but he did not begin his theological work until the post-Council period, when systematic theology was undergoing significant changes in theological method. The author focuses primarily on presenting Bordoni’s life story and his rich theological output; he also discusses the methodological issues that prompted the overall structure and setting of his postconciliar Christology. The author’s intention is to highlight Bordoni’s efforts to create a Christology that represents a return to the roots of the Christian faith, focusing on those key moments around which this Lateran professor theologically reconstructed the life story of Jesus of Nazareth. The central theme of the monograph is the mystery of the Incarnation, since this fundamental truth of the Christian faith, whose content has been much debated throughout history, was the center and fundamental category of Bordoni’s Christological thought and his theological work. It is characterized not only by its scope, density and precision, but also by a renewed and creative post-conciliar approach, which can be very stimulating for the development of theology in the Slovak and Czech cultural environment.
