Abstract

The article presents the “Existential dimension of the Apostle Paul's kerygma”. In the beginning is a quoted definition of a Greek noun kérygma. The theological sense of this word and comes from its verb kerýssein means − to preaching the Good News about Jesus Christ. To announce the Gospel was a particular solicitude of the Apostolic Church, of Saint Paul. The Apostle introduced himself in Romans as: “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God – the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures” (1, 1). The author of the article sets his sights on presenting a live force contained in kerygmat, which preached the Apostle of the Nations, as well as showing the source of the power of the Good News and the necessity of delivering it to all people in the world.
