Abstrak

Salah satu pertanyaan yang cukup menarik untuk didiskusikan dalam hubungannya dengan sejarah Gereja Perdana adalah sejauh mana ada kesatuan atau perbedaan antara pandangan Petrus, Yakobus dan Paulus, serta sejauh mana pemikiran Paulus menentukan arah perkembangan Gereja di periode-periode selanjutnya. Jawaban atas pertanyaan tersebut akan sangat membantu kita dalam memberikan respons terhadap tuduhan Paulinisme yang kerap dilontarkan oleh beberapa penulis non-Kristen khususnya di Indonesia terhadap ajaran Kekristenan (cf. Tom Jacobs). Tuduhan Paulinisme itu intinya mengatakan bahwa Kekristenan adalah agama buatan Paulus, bukan Yesus Kristus. Untuk menanggapi tuduhan tersebut, dalam artikel ini
penulis hendak menjelaskan bagaimana sebenarnya relasi antara Paulus dengan Gereja Yerusalem secara umum, dan relasi antara Paulus dengan Yakobus saudara Yesus secara khusus. Ditunjukkan bahwa relasi antara Paulus dan Gereja Yerusalem tidak mengindikasikan adanya perpecahan, melainkan kesatuan dalam perbedaan (unity in diversity). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membuka dialog lintas-iman yang konstruktif, meskipun merupakan karya awal sehingga mungkin tidak memberikan kata akhir atau jawaban definitif terhadap persoalan ini.
