Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to perceive and to explain in descriptive way the values of the Christian message, or more exactly of the message of New Testament. Considering briefly the philosophical concept of the values and the treatment of the values in the contemporary philosophy of the values, the author puts in relief first of all the fundamental measure of all the values of the New Testament: the person of Jesus from Nazaret who founds the Christian existence and the faith, hope and love which put into effect the Christian existence. In the second step he perceives and describes the values which are contained and for which are engaged the writings of the New Testament, following the different groups of writings in the New Testament according to the criterion of the literary genus or of the author. He begins with the values which we find in the Gospels and which are perceptible on the base of the announcement's description Jesus' life, behaviour and instruction. Then he continues with Paul's world of the values, taken from his authentic writings, which are determined from his person and from personal experience of man who comes from Jewish world and lives in the milieu of helenystic culture, but in the light of the vivid experience of the meeting with the resurrected Christ. In it dominate to him conteporary world's values, seen, illuminated and ennobled with the Christian experience. Answering to the new-created situation in the Church, the Deuteropauline writings put in relief the value of the osmosis' compenetration between the belief and the style of life. The confrontation of values of the Christian message, which are founded on the God's promise, and the historical values, which are often in the clash and which persecute the christan values, we find in the Apocalypse. In the conclusion the author puts in relief the graduality of the formation of values of the New Testament which is determinated from the different exterior factors, but still more from the interior integrative message's force of the New Testament, which doesn't leave nothing what is good and noble out of the way, but which gives the typical sign and presage to all.
