The Fundamental-Theological Reliability of the New Testament Faith Formulas in Jesus' Resurrection

Summary/Abstract: Faith in Jesus' resurrection is expressed in multiple ways in New Testament. Among them, of special meaning are the so-called faith formulas, in which the truth on the resurrection is passed on as a part of the Christian creed. The author of the present article took on the study and comparison of the faith formulas of three different kinds: one simple monopartite and two more elaborated bi-partite formulas, 1 Cor 15,3-5 and Rom 1,3-4. He pursued his research in the fundamental-theological perspective, searching for the conclusions regarding the reliability of the formulas and their role in the faith transmission.The analysis made by the author demonstrated that faith in the resurrection very quickly took a specific form in which the truth was expressed in unchangeable and independent manner, a sui generis canon. Additionally, the study allows to claim that already at the very early stage the transmission of faith in Christ's resurrection is connected with a deep theological reflection that interprets the preceding events in light of the resurrection. Ultimately, one can state that the analyzed formulas witness to the fact that for Jesus' disciples faith in the resurrection became “the new beginning” in the process of discovering His identity.
