Abstract
This article attempts to reinterpret parrhesia in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament by considering the discourse on parrhesia newly aroused by Michel Foucault. The French philosopher Michel Foucault re-emphasized the concept of parrhesia in his later years. Foucault explored the genealogy of Parrhesia from ancient Greek democracy to modern biopolitics. Foucault explained parrhesia in terms of politics, education, friendship, and self-care. This article is about parresia in the Acts of the Apostles in terms of the politics of the kingdom of God, interpretation and education of the Bible, solidarity with the people of the kingdom (friendship), and fidelity of faith in God and Jesus Christ (self-care). Through the above investigation, the nuances of honesty and sincerity are newly highlighted in the parrhesia of Acts, and it can be confirmed that Christianity in the era of post-truth must become a parrhesian church.
