PAUL and JESUS: HOW THE APOSTLE TRANSFORMED CHRISTIANITY
Sabrina Louise Holloway was drawn to this book for the title alone. After completion of reading, she knew that all who questioned the meaning behind the current fight between those combating the Pauline Doctrine and those supporting it would benefit greatly and gain another piece in the foundation of their argument. But what about individuals who aren’t that deep into the debate? How does this book help one walking away from organized religion due to a feeling that something just ain’t right? For those who have agreed to remain within the strongholds and paradigms of the Christian church yet, have decided to come to their own individual understanding and knowing of Paul and how the Pauline doctrine align with their Holy Ghost taught meaning of Jesus, Prophet and LIGHT of MAN, being within the Bluewater Holodeck, this book prepares you to ask the hard questions.
In the tradition of the WAY followers who actually walked as Jesus instructed, this Sit-n-Talk offering allow for twenty-five people to join in our online weekly meetings where we are gaining a collective understanding of James D. Tabor explanation of “how the Apostle transformed Christianity”. This is where participates come prepared to gain the skills and tools one would need to strongly and effectively speak when in community events and private discussions. From critical conversations we unpack from this book the flat out lies within the epistles associated with Paul’s name, backstory of the fight between Paul and Peter (including the addressing how and why the two are compared and why) and why Peter and Paul are remembered in greater details than Jesus and James.
We stick with the main purpose of our Sit-n-Talk and talk it out and leave this part of the series having greater understanding of how one is going to present themselves when in Social Situations where one is willing and able to discuss Paul and how he has influenced what we currently call Christianity.
