The concept of Stage in Christianity

The term "Stage" has distinct meanings in Protestantism and Early Christianity. In Protestantism, Stage refers to the original source of the author's rhetoric, characterized as masculine and vigorous. In contrast, Early Christianity views Stage as a platform for theatrical performances, encompassing both comedy, which explores themes of debauchery, and tragedy, which deals with serious matters like incest and parricide. This setting serves as a space where actions considered problematic, such as adultery, are performed for the audience's observation and potential moral reflection.1

Protestantism (or simply the protestant church) is a major branch of Christianity originating from the Reformation in the 16th century, led by figures like Martin Luther. It emphasizes salvation by faith alone and the Bible as the ultimate authority. Variants of Protestantism include Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, Methodism and Presbyterianism, each with unique practices but generally united by these core principles.
