Unfortunately, the patristic eschatology shall be still counted among the number of less researched branches of theological knowledge. However, in the patristic sources we can find theses, including original and innovative standpoints of the Fathers in the eschatologically fundamental questions. They concern: 1) the interpretation of the human souls fate directly after death and the issue of judgement (the convergent statement is, that the soul itself recognizes and estimates the state of its likeness to Christ); 2) the interpretation of happiness of the delivered until time of the resurrection of the bodies (the essence of the happiness is sojourning with Christ); 3) the interpretation of the purgatory (purification, which is, maturation in love); 4) the interpretation of a possibility of permanent souls separation from God (a question of eternity of the infernal punishment, leading to the theory of apokatasthasis); 5) the interpretation of visio beatifica (contemplation and perception of the nature of God). The conclusion is, that in the trends of contemporary eschatology the reflection as well as development of Fathers of the Church teaching on "the last things" is significantly represented.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Ojcowie Kościoła i pytania współczesnej eschatologii}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/102688/PDF/Czesz.pdf}, doi={10.24425/118071}, }
