A Catechumen and a Forming of his Relation to the Church and to the World
An Analysis of the Isssue on the Basis of Selected Ancient Baptismal Catecheses
Abstract
The article attempts to analyze the place of a catechumen in the world based on the selected ancient pre-baptismal and mystagogical catecheses. Its references to the instructions issued by catechists from the 4th century ( Cyril of Jerusalem, John Chrysostom, Theodore of Mopsuestia and Augustine of Hippo) aim to show how those authors present a candidate's relation to the world around him as far as the crucial change in his life: receiving the sacrament of baptism and entering the community of Church
