These diverging portraits of Paul can be better understood against the background of Greek and Roman criticisms of certain early C...

After discussing the city of Corinth, I go on to consider the history of Paul's interactions with these Christians, which was characterized by rocky relations.

Here I explore the rationale of these opponents of Paul who advocated circumcision as an entrance requirement into the movement and as a ...
