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.
Ideal for readers of early Christian history and theology.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines St. Paul's Christian doctrine in the context of the historical and intellectual climate in which it was developed. The author explores the convergence of Jewish, Hellenistic, and New Testament thought on Paul's theology, particularly in contrasting his emphasis on Christ's redemptive work against the backdrop of Jewish eschatology, as well as his original insight into Christ's divinity based on his resurrection. The book sheds light on the philosophical underpinnings of St. Paul's diverse teachings, ultimately demonstrating how his fusion of Hellenistic and Jewish thought laid the groundwork for core Christian beliefs such as salvation through Christ's sacrifice.
