Abstract
The dissertation “Approaches of apophatic Theology in Paul. An analaysis based on cognitive semantics and theory of ambiguity“ asks if there is a coherent theo-logy in Paul. Scholars get very divergent views on the Pauline approach to God. Is Paul a Jewish Monotheist? Is he the founder of Christianity?
This project asks in a historical-critical and linguistic way what role ambiguity plays in Paul’s conception of God and whether there are tentative traces of apophatic Theology.
