Popis: U vremenu u kojem se sve više promišlja o novoj evangelizaciji autor ovog članka smjera prema početcima Crkve i prema prvoj kerigmi, čiji smisao i važnost predstavlja u tri dijela. U prvom dijelu predstavljen je kontekst u kojem se našlo prvo kršćanstvo koje je s naporom pronosilo ‘uspomene apostola‘. Inkulturacija započinje propovijedanjem s kojim dolazi novi zaokret. Prvi kršćanin je možda više nego ijedan drugi poslije uložio napora u naviještanje kerigme: pratio ga je nedostatak slobode, nedostatak članova, nedostatak strogo teološke formacije, nedostatak podrške društva, nedostatak komunikacijskih sredstava. Kerigmatski napor prve Crkve praćen je nedostatcima, ali je obilovao Duhom i svjedočanstvom vjere u ono što se teško riječima moglo sročiti i definirati. U drugom dijelu autor prati naviještanje ‘uspomena apostola‘ ili evanđelja od dijaloga do Creda. Dijalog sa svijetom vode hrabri kršćani, apostolski oci, apologeti, crkveni oci općenito. Posebno je stavljen naglasak na apologete koji otvaranju dijalog s neistomišljenicima i protivnicima. Mnogi su se od njih našli na tvrdom terenu koji je trebalo obraditi s velikim naporom, osobnim nadahnućem i hrabrošću. Imali su bezbroj sugovornika među Židovima, poganima, kršćanima i hereticima. Kao plod napornog i dugotrajnog dijalogiziranja uslijedilo je službeno definiranje navještenog sadržaja vjere koje se oblikovalo u formu Vjerovanja. U trećem dijelu autor ističe krajnji cilj kerigme, a to je obnova Crkve i društva. Obnova se postiže preko obraćenja kao novog načina života u odnosu prema Bogu i ljudima. Ono zahvaća čitavu osobu i praćeno je Božjim djelovanjem. U tom dijelu stavljen je naglasak i na karitativnu dimenziju Crkve koja uporište za tu dimenziju pronalazi u euharistijskom zajedništvu.
In the time when new evangelisation is increasingly discussed, the author of this article directs his gaze towards the beginnings of the Church and the first kerygma, whose meaning and importance he presents in three parts. The first part presents the context in which the Early Christianity found itself and in which it tried to transmit the »memories of apostles«. Inculturation begins with preaching that brings a new turnabout. The first Christian invested, perhaps more than any other after him/her, immense efforts into proclaiming the kerygma: he/she suffered from the lack of freedom, lack of members, lack of strictly theological formation, lack of support by society, lack of means of communication. The kerygmatic effort of the Early Church has suffered from these lacks, but it has abounded in the Spirit and the testimony of faith about realities that can hardly be put into words and defined. The second part follows the proclamation of the »memory of apostles« or the Gospel from dialogue to the Credo. Dialogue with the world is led by courageous Christians, apostolic fathers, apologetes, and church fathers in general. The author focuses especially on apologetes that opened up the dialogue with enemies and those who thought differently. Many of apologetes found themselves on a hard terrain that was cultivated with great efforts, personal inspiration, and courage. They had countless interlocutors among Jews, pagans, Christians, and heretics. The result of tiresome and long‑lasting dialogue was the official definition of proclaimed contents of faith, formed in the Credo. The third part points out the ultimate goal of kerygma, that is, the renewal of the Church and society. The renewal is achieved through conversion as a new way of living in relation to God and other people. It permeates the whole person and is followed by God’s activity. This final part of the article, therefore, puts an emphasis on the caritative dimension of the Church that finds its foundational point for this dimension in the Eucharistic communion.
