ALL
those
old/new myDistories
Read Paul & write
about
HIM?

There MUST be
several answers to these
closely related
questions ...?!

FIRST of ALL,

I would like to reclaim
{again?!}

Pauline studies
as an important, even an integral part of the study
of Judaism in the Roman period
and late antiquity.

ALSO Paul
has left US extremely
precious documents for Jwsh studies:
THE
spiritual autobiography of
a first~century Jew.

There is
hardly another document,
save parts of Josephus & Philo,
which even comes close to fitting SUCH
a description.

Moreover, ~

IF
we take
Paul
at HIS word ~
and I see no
a priori reason
not to ~

HE
was
a member
of the Pharisaic wing of first-century Judaism,
with which Josephus may have also been connected
but with which Philo certainly
was NOT.

In addition,
Paul's activity and its consequences have had
{and still have?}
an enormous effect on the history of the Jews
and Judaism
in late antiquity
{not to mention
afterward}.

MUCH
of THAT
distinctive religious formation
that we call
rabbinic Judaism,
which is the ancestor of virtually all Judaisms
since late antiquity,
was formed in
the ENVIRONMENT
of a Pauline
"Christianity"
growing steadily in influence through
the 'crucial' {!}
formative centuries of
this Judaism
and culminating in
the
'triumph of christianity'
in the fourth
century ...

I
would like
to
make

ALL
THIS
absolutely
clear

{but not
now!}?

I
have to stop
to take my capsule &
eat, drink
& sleep ...

Haunting
memories while
asleep:
dreams where "ALL THIS"
comestogether
{to gather!}
NOW ...
