ЯЗЫЧЕСТВО И ХРИСТИАНСТВО В ЕДЕССЕ

Year 2016, Issue: 32, 316 - 324, 17.12.2016

Abstract

Основной темой исследования является Едесса - как один из уникальных образцов культурного и религиозного центра Северной Месопотамии. До христианства в Едессе было распространено язычество, идолами преклонения были космос и звезды. Христианство динамично внедрялось, но вместе с этим в Едессе на протяжении столетий также сосуществовала язычество. В V веке для нашей эры в Едессе место язычества полностью занимает христианство.

EDESSA’DA PAGANİZM VE HIRİSTİYANLIK

Year 2016, Issue: 32, 316 - 324, 17.12.2016

Abstract

Edessa, Kuzey Mezopotamya’daki
coğrafi konumu nedeniyle din ve kültürel asimilasyonu göstermesi açısından
mükemmel bir örnektir.  Hıristiyanlık
öncesi Edessa’da yıldız ve gezegen kültlerine dayanan paganizm inanç sistemi
görülür. Hristiyanlık ortaya çıkıp hızlı bir şekilde yayılmış olsa bile
Paganizm Edessa’da varlığını yüzyıllarca rahat bir şekilde devam ettirmiştir.
M. S. 5. yüzyılda paganizm tamamen silinir ve Edessa artık bir Hıristiyan şehri
olur.
