Özet
Antikçağ'da Doğu Akdeniz bölgesinde önemli kültür ve medeniyet merkezlerinden biri olan Antakya, aynı zamanda Hristiyanlığın da ilk şekillendiği yer idi. Hristiyanlık öncesi Antakya'da iki hakim inanış bulunmaktaydı. Bu inanışlardan biri Paganizm iken diğeri Yahudilik idi. Aynı zamanda Anadolu'dan Ortadoğu'ya geçiş güzergahında bulunan Antakya'ya bağlı olan Defne (Harbiye) pagan kültlerinin merkezi konumundaydı. Hz. İsa'nın M.S. 33 yılında vefatından sonra M.S. 35 ile 45 yılları arasında havari Peter, Barnabas ve Pavlos Antakya'ya gelerek Hristiyanlığı ilk kez burada evrensel bir din haline getirdiler. Havarilerin Hz.İsa'nın öğretisini anlatmalarının sonucunda ilk kez burada Putperestlikten Hristiyanlığa geçen bir topluluk oluştu. Bu dönemde Antakya, Roma İmparatorluğuna bağlı dini, kültürel ve askeri bir merkez olduğundan Hristiyanlık buradan Roma dünyasına kolaylıkla yayıldı. Kuran-ı Kerim'de Yasin Suresinde Antakya, Karye ve Şehir olarak geçmektedir. Bu surede ilk önce iki elçinin gönderildiği daha sonra ise üçüncü elçinin bu elçilere destek olmak için şehre geldiğinde şehrin kenarından gelen kişinin kavmim siz neden bu elçilere uymuyorsunuz dediğinden dolayı şehit edildiği yazılmaktadır. Havarilerin Antakya'da Hristiyanlığı şekillendirdikleri zamandaki olay ile Yasin suresindeki Habib-i Neccar kıssasındaki olay birbirine benzemektedir. Bu benzerlikler bu makalenin ana konusunu oluşturmaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Antakya, Habibi Neccar, Hristiyanlık.
