Overview

The extant letters of Paul and the detailed account of Acts make Paul one of the best documented figures of Second Temple Judaism. Paul was a very controversial figure in his own time, both within Judaism and within early Christianity. For centuries, Paul has been regarded as the major theologian of early Christianity and the Christian leader with greater responsibility for the parting of the ways between Judaism and Christianity. In recent years many scholars are trying to read his experience and thought more within Second Temple Judaism. "Paul the Jew" is becoming a very intriguing subject of research.
