Abstract

Paul of Tarsus was born, and died as pious Jew, along the Mediterranean Sea, where Hellenistic and Roman culture were connected. Our article has the aim to analyze the multidentitarism to the Roman Epistle under the Nero governance (54 A.D.-68 A.D) to o approach readers-listeners with a multitude of identity. The roots of the Christian movements were raised in the ore of Judaism based on different groups of missionaries and preachers who were convinced that one man resurrected on the third day, Jesus Christ. Therefore, this study investigates, through texts written by Paul, how frontiers and identity are constructed and expressed.
