Summary/Abstract: The understanding of apostolic men for holiness is in full consensus with the views of New Testament writers and represents their continuation and expression specific to the era. According to their works, holiness is the Catholic and only possible way of life in the body of Christ for each of its members. A world in the very sense of this word is God alone. That is why man becomes a world not by individual improvement but by joining with Christ in the Holy Spirit in the eucharistic assembly. Holiness is not a historical category, although it manifests and acts in history, as Christ Himself does. Apostolic men pay attention to the working of Christian holiness, the ethos, and the virtues that flow from it.
