„Odstąpcie, nie umarła dzieweczka, ale śpi” — życie jest czekaniem na śmierć — z kaznodziejstwa Fabiana Birkowskiego

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss the influence of the St Augustine thoughts on the sermon “Go away, the girl is not dead, but asleep” from “The Sermons on Sundays Annual Celebrations”. The article focuses on the issue of human dualism (division into soul and body) as well as life dualism (“civitas Dei” and “civitas terrena”).
