The author delves into the teachings and writings of Paul, the apostle who played a crucial role in the spread of the faith. They discuss Paul's unique perspective on Jesus Christ, which differed from the teachings of Jesus' original disciples, and the resulting conflict between Paul and these "genuine apostles."

The author goes on to examine the origins of the Gospels, the earliest accounts of Jesus' life, and their relationship to Paul's writings. The author analyzes the specific literary and historical influences on each of the four Gospels, comparing and contrasting their depictions of Jesus and his teachings.
