A importância do helenismo no pensamento do Apóstolo Paulo

Abstract

Paul was a man of three cultures and “three heads.” He assimilates important elements of the Greek, the Jewish and the Roman environments. Paul appears to be more than an apostle; he reveals himself to be a great master of minds and hearts. In his mission into the Greco-Roman world, he uses many elements of the Hellenistic culture in order to achieve his evangelizing goals. This article intends to highlight the importance of language, concepts and other elements of Greek-Roman culture in the Pauline theology and anthropology.
