May Be the Only Book Like This,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jesus according to Paul (Understanding Jesus Today) (Paperback)
I liked something which I had read in the description on Amazon that sounded encouraging, which is that the author ignored the disputed books supposedly by Paul, in the bulk of the book. After reading Bart Ehrman's book, Forged, I was not too thrilled by this author's, Furnish, take on the Book of Acts. Where there are discrepancies between Paul and Acts, he seems to want to reconcile them by pushing Paul towards Acts, something I find a bit annoying. He ties Acts in with Luke, which he proclaims to be the earliest Gospel. If that is true, then the beginnings of that tradition, behind Acts, was what Paul was already opposing in Galatians, and even more reason, to me, to not accept that version over Paul's.
Most people would not have the same problem with it as I have, and would find it very enjoyable. It is, I think, a good place to start if you want to find out where Paul was at in regards to Jesus. A handy little book that you can highlight and underline and put notes in, to keep close by when discussing things Paul. |
