Abstract
The premise of entire New Testament (N.T.) is that God has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ; that, as St John so movingly put it, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Swedish scholar Percy took German Kasemann to task in his recent study on much-discussed problem of authenticity of Ephesians and Colossians, an important question since these epistles differ from others in all sorts of respects: according to whether they are genuine or not one would get a very different picture of St Paul's theology. Kasemann had interpreted doctrine of redemption as it is expressed in these letters entirely in light of Gnosticism, a fairly vague not ion which has already sowed havoc in N.T. scholarship, but which may be defined as a syncretistic doctrine of Salvation.Keywords: German Kasemann; Gnosticism; Jesus Christ; New Testament (N.T.) scholarship; Percy; St Paul's theology
