The Architect
Paul of Tarsus Built Christian Theology. He Was From Persian Territory. And His Theology Shows It — Precisely Where It Goes Beyond Anything in the Hebrew Bible We have documented what entered Judaism during the Persian period. We have documented what entered Islam from the same source. The Christian phase of this analysis requires a different approach — because the key figure is not Jesus of Nazareth. It is Saul of Tarsus. Jesus left no writings.

Paul of Tarsus Built Christian Theology. He Was From Persian Territory. And His Theology Shows It — Precisely Where It Goes Beyond Anything in the Hebrew Bible We have documented what entered Judaism during the Persian period. We have documented what entered Islam from the same source. The Christian phase of this analysis requires a different approach — because the key figure is not Jesus of Nazareth. It is Saul of Tarsus. Jesus left no writings. His recorded teachings, filtered through decades of oral tradition and the theological intentions of the Gospel authors, are the subject of endless interpretive dispute. But Christian theology — the systematic framework that defines what Christianity means , what salvation is, what death is, what the cosmos is, what happens at the end of history — was not built primarily by the Gospels.
