Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ, His Life and Work, His Epistles and His Doctrine, Vol. 1
A Contribution to a Critical History of Primitive Christianity (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ: His Life and Work, His Epistles and His Doctrine - Volume One is one of the most significant theological undertakings of Dr. Ferdinand Christian Baur. Baur was a German theologian, well known for studies of The Bible, who lived until 1860. Baur's central argument throughout Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ is that the relationship between Paul the Apostle and the Jewish Christians was not as harmonious as it had often been made out to be in theological texts. The first section of the book examines the life and work of the Apostle Paul, including historical details on Paul's first missionary journey, Paul's dealing with the elder Jewish Christian Apostles, and his eventual arrest, imprisonment, and martyrdom in Rome. The second part of the book examines Paul's epistles as they are presented in the New Testament. His epistles to the Galatians, Corinthians, and Romans are all examined separately and in great detail.
Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ is a book that has particular appeal to those interested in theological matters. It is a deep book, and one that expects, although does not rely on, the reader to be familiar with much of the subject matter.
Ferdinand Christian Baur is a noted theologian, and his work in Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ: His Life and Work, His Epistles and His Doctrine - Volume One demonstrates why. This book is a thorough examination of the subject matter, and one that will appeal greatly to those with an interest in theology.
