Quote:It's not just called that, it's considered that by scholars.Sure, Authentic Paul. Authentic paul is not, however, historic paul. It's simply the only category of paul in which there could -be- a historic paul.
The trouble is that the search begins and ends there..because there's nowhere else for it to go.
Here's an interesting thing to consider. What we see in the "categories of paul" - regardless of any bickering over the historicity of any of them (loose or hard).
The radical jewish christian of "early Paul" is transformed into the romanized christian throughout the next two, and romanized heroes need their own "Labors of Hercules"- thus, Acts.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
