This book was released on 2017-09-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. Gresham Machen's fascinating account of the Apostle Paul explains and sheds light on the religious beliefs of the titular subject, which remain an important component of Biblical theology. Paul was one of the first proponents of Christianity, establishing some of the first recorded Christian churches in the 1st century AD. As an early preachers of the religion Paul's attitudes are, in Machen's eyes, a vital component of the faith which must not be ignored or discounted. Some scholars have disavowed aspects of Paul's writings, deeming them confined to the culture of his time and therefore of little value to Christians in the modern day. Machen considered things differently and wrote this book in response. He establishes that Paul's words and spiritual mores are a crucial part of the Christian doctrine, that he is the primary interpreter of Jesus Christ himself, and that therefore his religion is - for the most part - authentic Christianity. For Machen, the very association of Paul with Jesus, and the fact that Paul was among the first to spread the word, is enough to confirm a close alignment with Christian beliefs. Beginning life as a persecutor of Jesus' followers, Paul saw the error of his ways and converted to Christ's teachings at a young age. The account in the Book of Acts, wherein Paul is struck blind but has his sight restored affirms his commitment to Jesus. As one of the first proponents of Christ's teachings, Paul had a total of fourteen books of the New Testament ascribed to him out of the total of twenty-seven. While creating his own thesis, Machen goes to great lengths to debunk and refute arguments by other Christian scholars concerning the religion of Paul. He establishes to what degree Jesus and Paul were in agreement in terms of beliefs, and the few instances where Paul diverged from the exact teachings of Christ. Although much of this text is quite dry given Machen's intense scholarly knowledge, the reader will find his persistence rewarded with clarity on this sensitive and spiritually significant matter.

Book excerpt: His first book, 'The Origin of Paul's Religion' (1921) was a masterful and forthright defense of the historical truthfulness and supernaturalism of the New Testament. This volume is taken from the James Sprunt Lectures delivered at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia. Machen is absolutely masterful in dealing with the anti-supernaturalism that was beginning to dominate the church in the early decades of the twentieth century. Although written 85 years ago it remains a model of biblical scholarship and warm piety. "In an age when the nature and content of Paul's message are once again under scrutiny, evangelical and Reformed readers will benefit immensely from a close reading of Machen's masterwork. This book is an outstanding example of careful, patient scholarship that received high praise when it was first published and continues today to demand attention." - R. Scott Clark "J. Gresham Machen not only believed, practised, and proclaimed Paul's gospel, he was also able to defend its authenticity at the highest scholarly level. Because 'The Origin of Paul's Religion' penetrates to the heart of the matter it continues to speak to contemporary controversies over the nature of the gospel and the Christian faith." - Sinclair Ferguson

Book excerpt: The question of where Paul found his religious ideals has been a seminal question in modern scholarship. Whether he is characterized as corrupting the religion of Jesus, or some other religious innovator, teh biblical account of Paul's teachings paints quite a different story.In the The Origin of Paul's Religion J. Gresham Machen shows that Paul had his own biblical theology that was derived from divine revelation and not locked to his particular culture. It was, therefore, a theology of the unchanging God as he was in his eternal personhood.One of Machen's most penetrating works, the great New Testament scholar shows that Paul's theology was not a product of personal creation but divine origin.When you purchase books from ANTHEM PUBLISHING you are purchasing a premium digital product.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of Paul's Religion: The James Sprunt Lectures, Delivered at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia Of the origin of Christianity upon the apostle Paul. Jesus Himself, the author Of the Christian movement, wrote nothing - at least no writings Of His have been preserved. The record of His words and deeds is the work Of others, and the date and authorship and historical value of the documents in which that record is contained are the subject Of persistent debate. With regard to the genuineness of the principal epistles Of Paul, on the other hand, and with regard to the value Of at least part of the outline Of his life which is contained in the Book of Acts, all serious historians are agreed. The testi mony of Paul, therefore, forms a fixed starting-point in all controversy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In answer to Pauline scholarship that tends to explain the origin of Paul's gospel in Palestinian Judaism, Hellenistic Judaism, mystery cults, or Gnosticism, Seyoon Kim here argues that the origin lies in Paul's own testimony that he received the gospel from the revelation of Jesus Christ on the Damascus road. Only when this insistence of Paul is taken seriously, says Kim, can we really understand Paul and his theology. Kim begins his investigation of Paul's interpretation of the Damascus event by examining Paul's Rabbinic background. He then takes a more detailed look at just what occurred on the Damascus road, and follows this with a thorough discussion of Paul's gospel--the revelation, its Christology, and its soteriology--keeping in mind at all times how it relates to the Damascus event.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of Paul's Religion: The James Sprunt Lectures, Delivered at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia The following discussion is intended to deal, from one particular point of view, with the problem of the origin of Christianity. That problem is an important historical problem, and also an important practical problem. It is an important historical problem not only because of the large place which Christianity has occupied in the medieval and modern world, but also because of certain unique features which even the most unsympathetic and superficial examination must detect in the beginnings of the Christian movement. The problem of the origin of Christianity is also an important practical problem. Rightly or wrongly, Christian experience has ordinarily been connected with one particular view of the origin of the Christian movement; where that view has been abandoned, the experience has ceased. This dependence of Christianity upon a particular conception of its origin and of its Founder is now indeed being made tho object of vigorous attack. There are many who maintain that Christianity is the same no matter what its origin was, and that therefore the problem of origin should he kept entirely separate from the present religious interests of the Church. Obviously, however, this indifference to the question as to what the origin of Christianity was depends upon a particular conception of what Christianity now is; it depends upon the conception which makes of Christianity simply a manner of life.

Download or read book Paul written by Gerd Ludemann and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Testament scholar Gerd Lüdemann continues his exploration of the life and teachings of Paul in this groundbreaking monograph, which synthesizes the research of his four previous books on Christianity''s leading apostle. As the subtitle of the present work makes clear, Lüdemann comes to the conclusion that Paul should be considered not only Christianity''s most influential proselytizer but in truth deserves the title of founder of the religion that ostensibly originated with Jesus of Nazareth. Though other scholars have previously made the point that Paul''s interpretation of the Christian message actually obscured the original teachings of Jesus, Lüdemann goes further. His painstaking historical research shows that Paul created the major tenets of the Christianity we know today and that his theology - an original synthesis of Hebrew and Greek belief systems - differs significantly from what we now know the historical Jesus to have preached.
