À propos de cet audio

 Dr. Thomas E. Phillips discusses his research on Paul's "rehabilitation" in Acts. While Paul's authentic letters reveal an antagonistic figure who fought with Peter and James, Acts transforms him into a church-friendly apostle who defers to Jerusalem's authority and compromises on issues like circumcision. This makeover was necessary for Christians in Asia Minor who weren't impressed with the historical Paul. The podcast explores how Acts' ending in Rome completes this transformation, shifting from Jerusalem's temple to household-based Christianity and essentially ending the Jewish mission while legitimating a Gentile church.
