Strictly speaking it is possible to talk about holiness under one condition: if one believes in the Holy One – God who is the source of any holiness. Holiness of God was fully revealed in Jesus Christ who through His revelation-salvifc deeds allowed human beings to participate in God’s holiness. Church, however, being holy from her nature (and participating in God’s holiness) has a task to proclaim holiness in the world and to practice it. The essence of holiness is always the same although holiness could be practiced in the Church and the world in many different ways. So understood holiness of Christian life – achieved especially in everyday life or in a way of heroic virtues – has a very important meaning for the credibility of Christianity. Holiness is present not only in a spiritual (‘inside’) life but also has outside refections which is so much important for a contemporary mentality marked by praxis and praxeology. holiness, however, could be recognized only from a perspective of faith.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Holiness as an Argument for the Credibility of the Divine Revelation and Christianity}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/98000/PDF/Rusecki.pdf}, doi={10.24425/snt.2011-2012.112735}, keywords={holiness, Credibility, Divine Revelation, holy Church, virtues}, }
