Chrześcijaństwo Gaiusa – jeszcze kilka uwag

To this day, Gaius, as a person, continues to be shrouded in mystery. Even though he left behind such a rich heritage, he seems to have lived and died in “a social void”. The considerable interest this Roman jurist has attracted among scholars, did not, however, produce a lot of reliable information about him, his background, or career. The question of Gaius’ Christian background constitutes an even more difficult and serious, yet not new, challenge. Issues such as his social isolation, use of first name only, and the title of Gaius noster appearing in some sources, are all well worth considering. Indeed, they can shed new light on the problem of Gaius’ Christianity.
