Hellenistic culture in the New Testament. Christianity according to the Book of revelation

Helenizam je način života koji se suprotstavlja židovstvu i njegovim kulturno-religijskim posebnostima. Te posebnosti negira i kršćanstvo. No helenizacija upravo pokazuje kako se kršćanstvo zbog toga promijenilo. Odmak od poganskog kulta ne pokazuje koegzistenciju judeo- i etnokršćana nego posebnost kršćanskog bogoštovlja. Knjiga Otkrivenja knjiga je liturgijske zajednice koja poručuje da je Bog gospodar svijeta i time dovodi u pitanje rimsku vlast. Ta politička poruka pokazuje kršćane kao „strance“ u društvu, kao ateiste.Hellenism is a way of life which opposes Judaism and its cultural and religious particularities. Christianity denies these particularities. However, the Hellenization demonstrates how Christianity has therefore changed. Departure from the pagan cult does not show the coexistence of the Judeo-Christians and ethnic Christians but the particularity of the Christian worship. The book of Revelation is a book of liturgical community which tells us that God is the master of the world and thus brings into question the Roman rule. The political message shows Christians as “aliens” in society, as well as atheists
