Negacja judaizmu w apologiach św. Jana Chryzostoma
The Negation of Judaism in the Apologies of St. John Chrysostom

Summary/Abstract: The text presents the basic thesis of St. John Chrysostom (+ 407) that post-biblical Judaism, existing after the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, has no religious meaning. The apologist delivered several homilies in Antioch in order to prevent Christians from participating in Jewish customs, especially in Jewish festivals. He explains that the destruction of the Temple is a sign of the end of Judaism. This end of Judaism shows also that one should observe the Gospel, but not the Jewish Law. The famous preacher wants in this way to persuade his listeners to choose correctly between Judaism and Christianity.
