Quella ὁδός che essi chiamano αἵρεσις». Alle origini dell’autocomprensione filosofica dei seguaci di Gesù.

Who first thought of the Gospels as philosophical texts and Jesus’ followers as members of a philosophical sect? This article presents the hypothesis that this was Paul’s disciple and the “canonical” evangelist Luke and attempts to show how it was technically possible. In so doing it will not neglect to highlight the limits of this hypothesis and the difference from the epistemologic reconfiguration of the Gospel elaborated by the theorists of the Christian philosophy in the following century, when Christian knowledge will be learnt, elaborated and transmitted according to the rules of the philosophic knowledge.
