One for All: The way from particularity to universality in Paul Christology

Abstract

The christian claim that the story of Jesus from Nazareth opens a clue to the universal story of God with mankind is an utmost paradox. The article attempts to re-trace some of the ways that had lead to this claim in the early christian thought by reviewing the structure of the confessions of Jesus? ressurrection and two Pauline christological schemes: ?the new Adam? and ?the seed of Abraham?.
