EDUCATIONAL PROPOSAL OF THE FIRST LETTER OF CLEMENT ROMAN TO THE CORINTHIANS: FORMATION BY EXAMPLE

Abstract

This study analyzes formation by example in  Clement Romano's First Letter to the Corinthians, focusing on the formative response to the problems of the Corinthian community, especially deviations from Christian behavior and practices. The objective is to examine the formation through the example proposed by Clement Romano. The methodology involves analysis of the Clementine document, considered as a primary source, based on the authors Daniel Ruiz Bueno (2002), Juan José Ayán Calvo (1994), Philipp Vielhauer (2005), Johannes Quasten (1991), and José Joaquim Pereira Melo (2012; 2019). The investigations discuss positive and negative examples in the letter. Clement Romano's educational proposal aims to respond to the conflicts and problems of the Christian community of Corinth.
