Synopsis

This book encompasses lectures on the role of Paul in propagating Christianity. The author explores the differences between the First Church and Paul's teachings, arguing that Paul's personal vision of Christ on the road to Damascus became the cornerstone of his theology. The author shows how Paul, despite his earlier persecution of Christians, became a fervent advocate for Christianity, emphasizing faith in the crucified and resurrected Christ as the path to salvation. Through a close examination of Paul's epistles, the author examines the apostle's ideas on the irrelevance of Jewish Law for Christians, the concept of justification by faith, and the moral consequences of these beliefs. The book highlights the profound impact of Paul's teachings on the development of Christianity, revealing how his emphasis on the spiritual over the physical laid the groundwork for a universal religion that transcended national and cultural boundaries.
