Who was Paul the Apostle? Scholars on historical Paul

- Who was historical Paul? Did he invent Christianity? Which letters did he actually write? Why the leading experts of Christianity claim that Paul had been a man of conflict and a subject of controversy within the early church? Many of the first followers of Jesus not recognize Paul's teaching about Jesus and even considered him their enemy, apostate, corruptor of the true message of Jesus and even anti-Christ. We see how even the closest disciples of Jesus had serious disagreements with Paul. He seems to have a conflict with Peter, James, Barnabas and many other followers of Jesus. This review reveals what scholars (such as Borg, Crossan, Fredriksen, Martin, Ehrman, etc.) say about the historical Paul: did he consider himself a Jew? Was he liberal, conservative, or radical? Did he reform Christianity by making it easy for non-Jews to convert to the Jesus movement? and many more topics.

Wow I’ve never seen a video on Paul that is this thorough. Great stuff
glad to hear you liked it!
Great video! I really appreciated the thorough review of the literature, and the solid understanding of contemporary scholarship on Paul. It seemed like you were anxious about the Sri Lankan metaphor but I loved it, personally. It's a great way to put a contemporary gloss on an key ancient situation. And now we live in Guru Y's world (but in the name of Guru X).
Thank you so much Paul! I deeply appreciate your feedback and the time you spent to watch it. I am also glad that you liked the metaphor :)
@@religiologEng I enjoyed the analogy as well. I grew up Roman Catholic in the US. My parents weren’t really super religious, but I attended Catholic school from Kindergarten to 8th grade so I had A LOT of religious instruction. Anyway, growing up, I never completely understood why if Jesus was Jewish and as Christians, we followed Jesus…. Then, why weren’t we also still technically Jewish too??? Why didn’t we also celebrate the Jewish holy says such as Passover, in addition to Easter and Christmas??? I now know that there actually is a sect who do combine both Judaism & Christianity called Messianic Judaism (I believe). But now, after watching this video, including your analogy, I think I’m starting to understand why that might be.
@@christinafidance340 Cool. I am glad it was helpful. Thanks for sharing more details on that. Yes, in some sense being a good follower of Jesus might mean to be a good Jew
Wow! 1.25K subscribers! When I subscribed, I was # 889! Good job! And a great channel!

Excellent as always. Keep up the fantastic work and well done on the pronunciations!
Oh thanks for inspiration! :)
Great video!
thank you for appreciating it!
Good video. I wonder if people put into consideration the fact that the early apostles might not have known that they were dealing with God made flesh. Because, as you noted, Jesus didn't emphasise this. To emphatically state "I am God" would have caused even more mockery and disbelief plus all the "Christological" debates (divine vs. human nature etc.) would have started there and then, which would not have been a good start! So when Christ's divinity became more clearly understood, it was natural that someone had to tell the world of what had just happened - and that someone was Paul. Could Paul's disagreements with Christ's apostles be due to the fact they they might not have understood clearly who Jesus was then?
what seems clear is that most likely Paul's interpretation of Jesus and his role differed from many of Jesus's disciples. But who can claim that Paul's interpretation was the correct one? We simply have many different perspectives
One of the outstanding features of the historical Jesus is that he not only called the Hebrew God "Father", but repeatedly called him "Dad" (Aramaic: Abba). What this means, and the mysterious identity of the historic (and potentially transhistoric) Jesus is exactly part of what is at issue between Paul and all of his detractors (and to a significant extent, all Christian thought since). Christ's divinity being "figured out" is exactly what owes a lot to Paul.

Germanicus (Cornelius) ; his horns Silas & Barnabbas.
instructive!
who would trust a "spouting liar" just asking?
It's simple. Paul established the religion similar or based on Jewish religion. But it was and is the exact opposite of what Jesus taught.
Catholicism is not Christianity Christianity isn't a religion. Jesus wasn't catholic.?
what about Romanians, Greeks, Ukrainians, Ethiopians and so on, aren't they Christians? What about Unitarians?
