Jezik Apostola Pavla kao paradigma teološkog govora

Abstract

Cilj ovoga rada jeste da ukaže, s jedne strane, na važnost i značaj teološkog jezika apostola Pavla kao paradigmatskog modela komunikacije i sporazumevanja, a sa druge strane, na činjenicu da je njegov jezik imao oduvek ogromne praktične implikacije na polju hrišćanske misije i života Crkve u svetu. Rad je po svom sadržaju i strukturi podeljen na dve tematske celine. U prvoj se obrađuju pojam i značenje jezika kao sredstva komunikacije i sporazumevanja Crkve u odnosu na svet i čoveka, s jedne strane, i odnos ranohrišćanske Crkve i apostola Pavla prema sakralnom jeziku, sa druge strane. U drugoj celini analiziraju se konkretni primeri Pavlovog teološkog jezika i njegova primena u konkretnim misionarskim aktivnostima, naročito u problematičnim situacijama prilikom dodira sa drugim kulturama i religijama toga vremena. Na kraju se, u vidu zaključka, donose konkretne konstatacije da jezik Apostola Pavla, iako artikulisan pre dve hiljade godina, može biti aktuelan i da može da posluži kao paradigma teološkog govora i komunikacije Crkve sa savremenim svetom.

The aim of this paper is to point out, on the one hand, the importance and significan- ce of the theological language of the Apostle Paul as a paradigmatic model of communication and, on the other hand, the fact that his language has always had enormous practical implications in the field of Christian mission and life of the Church in the world. By its content and structure, the work is divided into two thematic units. The first one deals with the notion and meaning of language as a means of communicating and understanding the Church with respect to the world and man, on the one hand, and the attitude of the early Church and the apostle Paul toward sacred language, on the other. In the second unit, we analyze concrete examples of Paul's theological language and its application in specific missionary activities, especially in problematic situations involving contact with other cultures and religions of that time. Finally, in closure, concrete conclusions are made that the language of the Apostle Paul, although articulated two thousand years ago, can be relevant and can serve as a paradigm of theological speech and communication of the Church with the contemporary world.
