Summary/Abstract: The presented text aims to illuminate the dialectical tension that exists between theological theses expressed in a certain historical context and the specific needs that produced them. This means that in some cases theology is the result of a new reality and is not necessarily metaphysically enlightened. Therefore, I have tried to compare the same themes that occur simultaneously in the Old and New Testaments, in order to show that they are not as synchronous as is supposed. On the contrary, I believe that the connection is primarily typological, not historical. History is often interpreted to serve the needs of an author, group of people, or community. Theology, on the other hand, is a dynamic reality which, apart from its revelatory character, depends on cultural-historical circumstances.
