A Parresía Paulina e suas perspectivas: Uma análise teológica da linguagem franca a partir de Ef 6,19

Abstract

Within New Testament writings, but in a special way in Paul’s letters, we can observe a significant presence of the greek term parresia, or frank language. This term was not only a rhetorical-linguistic instrument, on Paul’s contemporary time, but an attitude made by the speaker, or by the epistolar author before his recipients. On Eph 6,19, we see this term and its relation with the evangelizing mission of the author. Moreover, this concept was not only a linguistic function for Paul’s writings and time actions, but it can have an effectiveness in present time.
