...let that sink in. A group of people very likely biased by their deeply held christian beliefs, have decided that scant little of paul is even -potentially- reliable, and that even within what we deem reliable, paul makes contortions of fact, and dubious claims.
But this is the genius of Protestantism. Thanks to sola scriptura, any run-down schmuck can dismiss the findings of professional scholars if they conflict with his or her "plain" and faithful reading of God's word. Paul's letters are absolutely true. How do we know? Because they are in the True Book.
End of discussion.
