Sažetak
The study enlightens the keeping of Paul’s teachings in Pastoral Letters, analyzing the discourse about Paul’s gospel in 2 Tim 1,8-11 (1.) and Paul’s deposit in 2 Tim 1,12-14 (2.). The first part of the study finds that Paul’s gospel in Pastoral Letters speaks of three stages and three protagonists of the salvation history: God’s plan prior to time, Christ’s historical event, and the gospel proclamation, which was founded by Christ’s apparition to Paul. The analysis reveals that this gospel is characterized by monotheism and Paulinism: God acts in all three periods of the salvation history, Christ only in the second period, and Paul is a participant of Christ’s event and has an apostolic priority at the time of the gospel proclamation. The second part of the study shows that Paul’s deposit refers to a Pauline tradition which developed after Paul’s death and is represented in Pastoral Letters. The author gives to that tradition the status of norm, calling it with the technical term from the deposit law and showing that is represents a legitimate development of Paul’s oral tradition. In the conclusion of the study, it is shown that the discourse about Paul’s gospel and deposit in Pastoral Letters serves to defend the author’s acceptance of later traditions and divergence from Paul’s teachings. In the face of the dilemma „Paul’s norm or novelty“, the author of Pastoral Letters has chosen a compromise „substantive shift and methodological fidelity to Paul”, and he proposed that model as Paul’s model to church leaders.
