This article aims to present a short and clear presentation of ministerial priesthood in seven authentic letters by St Paul and his speech to the elders in Ephesus (Acts 20:14-28). Although St Paul does not write directly about ministerial priesthood (in his authentic letters we cannot find such terms as hiereus or hierateuma) the notion of mediation and sanctification (hagiasmos), which is typical of priestly service, is very distinct in the first Christian communities. Undoubtedly a reader of Paul’s letters is struck by a big accumulation of cultic and temple terminology which is typical of the Old Testament cult and its transfer to the most secular spheres of Christian life, which can be described as real liturgy. Starting from “liturgy of life” the author presents the subject of ministerial priesthood based on the original Pauline thought. The analysis of the most significant pericope helps us to understand the most important elements of ministerial priesthood according to St Paul and their short characteristics.

Il presente articolo si prefigge lo scopo di presentare una breve panoramica sul sacerdozio nell’ambito delle lettere autentiche di Paolo e del discorso ai presbiteri di Efeso (At 20,14–38). Sebbene in Paolo non si parla mai di sacerdozio (non vi si trova il termine hiereus né hierateuma), tuttavia l’idea di una mediazione e santificazione (hagiasmos) nell’ambito delle primitive comunità cristiane vi riemerge con forza. Sorprende senza dubbio che la terminologia cultuale, tipica del culto veterotestamentario, venga trasferita agli aspetti più profani della vita cristiana che non a caso può essere chiamata una vera e propria liturgia. È partendo da questa “liturgia della vita” che è possibile impostare un discorso sul sacerdozio in Paolo. Prendendo le mosse dalle pericopi più significative vengono enucleati e brevemente interpretati gli elementi più salienti del sacerdozio paulino.
