Denna uppsats behandlar Paulus syn pa? lagen vilket a?r ett mycket omdebatterat omra?de inom paulusforskningen. Fra?gan om Paulus lagsyn a?r sa? central fo?r den o?vergripande paulustolkingen att alla som vill fo?rsta? Paulus och hans texter ma?ste bilda sig en uppfattning om detta. Det har skrivits ma?nga hyllmeter och diskussionen verkar la?ngt ifra?n avslutad.

This essay is aiming to go through and study the most important and frequently mentioned terms and titles used in the letters of Paul to denote and describe God, the Father, the Son and the Spirit. These include ?Christ? and ?Lord? as well. The purpose has been two-fold: on the one hand I wished to study the background and meaning of the concepts in question, as used by Paul; on the other hand ? and this has been my main concern ? I specifically wanted to look at what kind of language Paul uses to denote Father, Son and Spirit in terms of their attributed characteristics, roles and theological functions.
