This article discusses the history of apologetics and fundamental theology as they have been taught in the Diocese of Siedlces Major Seminary since its founding in 1819 to the present day. The author refers to historical sources and works in order to present pro- files of the professors who taught these subjects, the trajectories of their academic careers, their teaching styles, as well as their academic achievements. This article also presents the textbooks and other materials that have been used in the seminary to teach these two disciplines that employ different methodological approaches but have the same academic aim, which is to study the credibility of Divine Revelation, meaning the fact that God ex- ists, His nature, and how He conveys Himself and remains within the Church.
