Pauline theology
Letters-based Christian thought
Pauline theology refers to the religious doctrines and teachings found in the letters attributed to the apostle Paul in the New Testament.
Central themes include justification by faith rather than works of the law, the death and resurrection of Christ as redemptive, and the concept of salvation through grace.
Scholars distinguish between letters Paul certainly wrote and those of disputed authorship, which affects how unified Pauline theology is considered to be.
