Typologia chrzcielna Grzegorza z Nyssy (In diem luminum, GNO 9, 230-235) na tle starochrześcijańskiej egzegezy
Gregory of Nyssa’s Baptismal Typology (In diem luminum, GNO 9, 230-235) against the Background of Ancient Christian Exegesis

Summary/Abstract: Perhaps in 383, Gregory of Nyssa wrote a eulogy for the Day of Lights, which fell on 6 January and replaced the previously celebrated Epiphany. The introduction of Christmas in Cappadocia on 25 December prompted the bishop to link the January feast with the baptismal theme. In the middle part of the speech, Gregory successively cites and interprets ten different events from the Old Testament that illustrate the mystery of baptism. The combination and interpretation of these testimonies in the key of baptismal typology prompts the article’s author to look at the sources of inspiration for Gregory's exegesis and the extent of its influence.
