It seems unquestionable today that the tradition of the exodus recurrently appears in the form of reminiscences, or theological reflection in some books of the OT, however, there are numerous hypotheses that this motive could have also been used in NT texts. In the present article, the author formulates a hypothesis that St. Paul in his Letter to the Galatians uses in the mnemohistoric manner the topos of theological exodus when he presents the picture of the new, existential condition of Christians, and that he simultaneously employs the apocalyptics as a form of expression representative of his epoch and appropriate for the context of his argumentation.
