New Testament, Pauline Church, Petrine ChurchAbstract
The creation of the New Testament, and also the unification of the variegated panorama of the diverse theological trends in the early Christian times, is ordinarily attributed within the confessional New Testament research circles to the existence of a "Great unified and ‘unifying’ Church", grouped under the aegis of Peter. This article discusses the real existence of such a Church, and holds that the only ‘unified and unifying Church’ of the first Christian moments was the Pauline one. This contention is supported by the analysis of the New Testament as a whole and three other main arguments.
