The present research aims to present the analysis of the discourse of faith, present in primitive Christianity, making comparisons between the literary writings of the biblical New Testament. In the comparative analysis, the research will use the epistles to the Hebrews and Romans. As the New Testament epistles developed by their authors for addressees within a first century Greco-Roman plural context, the summary approach of these writings becomes necessary for comparative research. The approach to the writings of the most influential author of the New Testament, that is, Paul, is important to know the thought of this influential author. Since the epistle to the Romans is his greatest writing in the New Testament literature and probably with the greatest theological weight compared to other of his writings, it becomes important for research. Paul, in the epistle to the Romans, addresses faith in a broad way, perhaps among his writings it is the one that goes most deeply into the discourse of faith. The epistle to the Hebrews, for which there is no certainty of its authorship, becomes an important New Testament literature, also with a certain theological weight for Christianity, being this writing necessary for the approach of the Christian faith. Receiving influences from Greco-Roman culture and literature, some authors of the New Testament writings used rhetorical art to address their recipients, and the epistles to the Hebrews and Romans have these rhetorical characteristics, through which we note the use of this art in speeches of faith. Present in these epistles. In approaching the discourses of faith in the texts researched in the epistle to the Romans (1.16-17; 3.21-31; 5.1-5), Paul is concerned with demonstrating the importance of faith in the lives of its recipients. The author of the epistle to the Hebrews, in the texts researched (11.1-3; 12.1-3), in his speech of faith, seeks to encourage his recipients in their Christian walk. On the matter of the discourse of faith, there could be similarities and differences between Pauline thought and the thought of the epistle to the Hebrews. The similarities could point to a probable Pauline authorship or Pauline influence on the issue of the discourse of faith. (AU)
