Synopsis

In St. Paul and Christianity, Headlam traces the shaping force of Paul’s life on the early Church and its belief. The book shows how Paul’s conversion and teaching complemented the broader, preexisting Christian tradition, giving the creed a new depth and meaning. It also highlights Paul’s role as a pioneering theologian who helped articulate what the Church would become.

The text frames the movement from the life of Jesus and the rising Christian community, to Paul’s distinctive influence on its direction. It notes that while the Church drew from its Jewish roots, the faith grew into a universal mission, with Paul guiding its interpretation and expression through his epistles and leadership.


As a study of early Christian thought, this edition emphasizes the Spirit’s work in believers, the unity of the Church, and the way Paul’s writings interacted with the broader tradition. It also considers how later ages have read Paul’s letters and their significance for Christian doctrine and practice.




  • How Paul’s conversion reshaped the Church’s self-understanding

  • The Spirit’s personality, work, and relation to Father and Son

  • Paul’s influence on the development of Christian doctrine

  • Continuities and differences between Pauline teaching and primitive Christian faith



Ideal for readers of early Christian history and theology.

At the same time the original purpose of the work will explain, and I hope excuse, the brevity with which important points are treated, and the necessarily dogmatic character of many statements where a more lengthy discussion might have been desirable.
