Description
Paul and Jesus: How the Apostle Transformed Christianity The early years of Christianity remain shrouded in mystery, but historian James Tabor sheds light on the period following Jesus' crucifixion. This period, known to historians as the "lost decade", saw Jesus' followers regroup and spread his message to the gentiles. It was during this time that Paul joined the movement and began to preach, using the oldest Christian documents, including the letters of Paul, to reconstruct the origins of Christianity. Tabor's examination of this pivotal period reveals how Paul separated himself from the original followers, including Peter and James, to introduce his own version of Christianity. This divergence would shape the course of Christian history, leading to the development of distinct traditions within the faith. By exploring the early Christian sources, Tabor provides a nuanced understanding of how Christianity was born out of Judaism. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the transformation of Christianity, revealing the complex and often contradictory nature of its origins.
