Abstract
The author of the paper looks for a key to Pauline theology. Scholarsdiffers considerably in this subject that results in sometimes extremelyopposed views on the degree the old and new covenants are related to eachother as well, as on to the degree Paul himself was linked to Judaism afterhis conversion. So far answers given by scholars focus on main themes ofPaul’s Epistles (eschatology, soteriology and so on) or emerge from previouspresumptions on Judaism, but not mainly from the Epistles themselves.The present article points at the concept of the new creation in Christwhich is the background of all themes treated by Paul and links them inone coherent entity.
