Summary/Abstract: The paper presents four conceptions of understanding the term – “christianology”. It try to answer, what does it really mean. The first author – Emmanuel L. Rehfeld considers “christianology” as a mainstream of anthropological contents in the St. Paul’s teaching. The second author describes “christianology” as a theological study of Christian, which is in the ontic relation to Holy Trinity. In his christianological conception Zdziarstek uses the complex theological method, which the aim is finding the foundations of Christians identity (esse christianum). The next author – M. Mróz considers “christianology” as a moral theology. This conception is directed to the Christian being as a process of conformitas Christi. Also fr. Mróz suggests to use the christianological methods for examination on Thomas Aquinas’s moral thought. The last author – W. Hryniewicz deems “christianology” as an approach of theological reflection, which searches the Passover’s dimension in the sources of Christian existence and Christian spirituality. “The Paschal christianology” can be solution for the existential problems of contemporary people. The conclusions’ section contains a few issues for the further considerations.
