Abstract
The article offers a new method of researching early Christian texts. It complements the existing reconstructions of early Christian communities. The method suggests analyzing the polemical texts, first of all, the canonical and non-canonical New Testament Epistles. This would be a basis for reconstructing the views and practices with which the authors argue. The argument is an indirect source on the history of the early Christian communities which yet existed, however, did not leave a sufficient intellectual legacy. The article comprises a research based on these arguments of the Epistles written by apostle Paul and his followers and disciples.
