Акт крещения имеет глубокое символическое значение и воспринимается в культуре раннего христианства как символ спасения в сотериологической перспективе. Целью исследования является выявление связи между крещением и прегрешением в период раннего христианства, которая была сложной и многогранной, поскольку включала споры о природе греха, сложной динамике религиозной инициации и теологических споров, а также трансгрессивности как свойствах грехопадения. Крещение, одно из центральных таинств раннего христианства, выходило за рамки простого обряда посвящения; оно служило глубоким и определяющим актом, сыгравшим ключевую роль в формировании христианской идентичности: как индивидуальной, так и коллективной идентичности сообщества. Эта священная церемония символизировала не только духовное возрождение и обновленную жизнь в вере, но и представляла собой торжественную приверженность основным догматам христианства, свидетельствуя о вступлении в заветные отношения с Богом. Тем не менее контекст, окружавший крещение, был далек от исключительно позитивного. В раннехристианской культуре этот акт часто рассматривался через призму предостережения, переплетаясь с предупреждениями о таких преступлениях, как ересь и вероотступничество. Эти представления оказали значительное влияние на формирование христианских моральных и социальных норм, создав сложную систему верований и практик. Проблемой современных исследований христианского периода стала сложная взаимосвязь между крещением и грехом в раннехристианский период. Здесь эти связи раскрывают многомерную реальность, охватывающую теологические споры о самой природе греха, законности практики крещения и определении границ внутри христианской общины. Исследуя многие способы, которыми крещение и грех пересекаются, это исследование раскрывает эволюцию социальных норм и неизбежные последствия грехопадения человечества.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="summary"><p>The sacrament of baptism was crucial to the formation of religious identity in the early centuries of Christianity. The act of baptism has profound symbolic significance and is perceived in the culture of early Christianity as a symbol of salvation from a soteriological perspective. The aim of this article is to identify the relationship between baptism and transgression in early Christianity. This relationship was complex and multifaceted, encompassing debates about the nature of sin, the complex dynamics of religious initiation and theological controversies, and transgressiveness as a characteristic of the Fall. Baptism, one of the central sacraments of early Christianity, went beyond a simple rite of passage; it served as a profound and defining act that played a key role in the formation of Christian identity, both individual and collective. This sacred ceremony symbolized not only spiritual rebirth and renewed life in faith but also represented a solemn commitment to the fundamental dogmas of Christianity, testifying to entry into a covenant relationship with God. However, the context surrounding baptism was far from exclusively positive. In early Christian culture, this act was often viewed through the lens of warning, intertwined with warnings about crimes such as heresy and apostasy. These notions exerted a significant influence on the formation of Christian moral and social norms, creating a complex system of beliefs and practices. The complex relationship between baptism and sin in the early Christian period has become a focus of modern scholarship. These connections reveal a multidimensional reality, encompassing theological debates about the very nature of sin, the legitimacy of baptism practice, and the definition of boundaries within the Christian community. By exploring the many ways in which baptism and sin intersected, this study reveals the evolution of social norms and the inevitable consequences of humanity’s Fall into sin.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>крещение</kwd><kwd>раннее христианство</kwd><kwd>катехизация</kwd><kwd>прегрешение</kwd><kwd>грехопадение</kwd><kwd>христианская община</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>baptism</kwd><kwd>early Christianity</kwd><kwd>catechesis</kwd><kwd>transgression</kwd><kwd>Fall</kwd><kwd>Christian community</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xml:lang="ru">Аверинцев (ред.) 2004 – Аверинцев С.
