Katangeleus denotes a person identified as proclaiming foreign deities through preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

The attested use identifies a person as a proclaimer, specifically as others characterize him in connection with preaching Jesus and the resurrection in Acts 17:18.

Senses in use

  1. A person characterized as proclaiming · dominant

    In Acts 17:18, the nominative singular masculine noun is used in others' assessment of the man who was preaching Jesus and the resurrection; the APB renders the clause, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 17:18, the APB presents the characterization as “a proclaimer of foreign deities.” This wording is treated as the verse's presentation of the clause rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
