Abstract :
The author discusses the idea of a possible Old Testament Theology. He states that (Christian) Theology is impossible without taking notice of the New Testament. The idea, nevertheless, could build a bridge between Christianity and Jewry, but also this hypothesis is proofed wrong. Some irreconcilable differences between the religion were revealed. Altough these findings show a rather pessimistic view, the author concludes that a unified biblical theology could be able to form a mutual basis to start a dialogue.
