Journal Title: Δόξα / Докса. Збірник наукових праць з філософії та філології - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The article examines the activities of the first preachers of the Gospel in the Northern Black Sea Region, namely among the Scythian population of the ancient Taurida and on the banks of the ancient Dnipro, that is, in the territory of modern Southern Ukraine. The historical development of Christianity in the ancient Greek city-Black Sea colonies – Chersonese, Olbia and others – are the main activities and missionary martyrs of the first centuries of Christianity, namely St. Andrew, Chersonesus bishops martyrs, Pope Clement of Rome and other saints. The article reveals the development of Christianity in the Northern Black Sea Region close to the official Baptism of Ancient lands of the territory of modern Ukraine, when the most favorable time for the spread of Christianity in the territory of Ukraine began. This study also concludes that the Northern Black Sea is still a region where Christianity has appeared since the first century. This happened due to the sermon of St. Andrew and the missionary work of Christian Greek and Roman preachers. Therefore, this land is truly one of the oldest Christian lands in the world and deserves deep attention of modern scholars, because the issue of the beginning of Christianity in the South of Ukraine still has many gaps.
