This text explores the fundamental shift in early Christianity where Jesus, originally a witness to faith, became the object of faith himself. The author examines the role of the Apostle Paul in this transition, suggesting that Paul likely inherited this orientation from earlier Christians and systematically expanded upon it. A central theme is the internal contradiction within the Christian proclamation: the Gospel is not merely a myth or a magical narrative, but a report of a specific historical event. The emphasis on Jesus's historicity as a real human being is crucial to Christianity, yet this focus often became obscured by the development of orthodox Christology. The text poses a critical question regarding how much of the historical Jesus actually remains within later church teachings. It investigates the tension between the uniqueness of a human life and the attempt to establish a theological science of Christ. Ultimately, the work reflects on the difficulty of reconciling historical truth with rigid dogmatic doctrine and its impact on the core of the Christian message.
