Abstract
SOME INDICATIONS, AGAIN JUST in outline and as hypotheses, with regard to the very curious evolution of the meaning of the term parrhēsia in the first Christian texts. To tell the truth, I would like to divide these indications around three problems: first, the use of the term in pre-Christian texts (those from Judeo- Hellenistic milieus, mainly in Philo of Alexandria and in the Septuagint; second, the notion of parrhe-sia in New Testament texts; and third, parrhe-sia in the apostolic texts, especially the patristic texts as well as those of Christian ascetics of the first centuries.
