Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the character and teachings of St. Paul in the context of the New Testament, highlighting his tact and presence of mind as features of his enduring significance. The author argues that the narrative about Paul's life and teachings in the Acts of the Apostles is an authentic source of information about him, since the details of Paul's character, including his tendency to act wisely and promptly in difficult situations, are consistent throughout many different kinds of events described in the narrative. Further, the author sees Paul's actions as evidence against a purely mythical or accidental origin for his teachings, since there is a consistent and particular character evident in his behavior. The author places Paul within his Jewish context, arguing that he should be understood as a devout Jew whose conversion to Christianity intensified his Jewish feelings rather than causing him to turn from them. His warmth towards other Jews, therefore, is interpreted as a genuine and heartfelt emotion. The author demonstrates Paul's complex and versatile character through the use of specific narrative examples, especially his behavior in different apologetic situations before mobs and officials, where his capacity for wise and judicious action is particularly evident. Ultimately, this book will appeal to those seeking a nuanced and historically informed understanding of St. Paul and early Christianity.
