Thirteenth International Conference on Religion & Spirituality in Society

Abstract

Paul’s presentation in Corinth is closly connected not only to the Christian preaching at the capital of the province of Achaia, but also to different religious parties in it, which claimed, that they were the unique representative of Jesus Christ. The present text of ours tries to see the first-Christian preaching in its further meaning: a) as a common base, which expresses the constant faith to Jesus Christ. He, and no one else sacrificed himself and died for people’s sins and was resurrected from the dead according to the Holy Scriptures, b) this constant faith makes a new people, not the old people of God, who were waiting to be restored among the nations, but those one, who as a whole of Gentiles and Jewish people, has been saved through Jesus’ sacrifice. This base creates a new life for anyone, who joins the Christian faith and keeps away from diversities of any kind, c) from an another point of view the Christian preaching gives the orientation of a peaceful life, full of the fruits of love, justice and Christian tolerance could offer, not the military possession under the roman troops (pax romana).
