		Authorship of The Pauline Epistles in the News
		Udo Schnelle argued that 2 Thessalonians was significantly different in style from the "undisputed" epistles, characterizing it as whole and narrow, rather than as a lively and abrupt discussion on a range of issues.
		parousia (as also described in the non-pastoral epistles), in the 2nd century it was seen as more distant, matching the choice of the pastorals to lay down instructions for a long time after the passing away of the apostles.

		However, the epistle does use many idiosyncrasies that are used in several of the epistles, which lends weight to Paul's authorship, for example, phrases such as en cristo and en kurio are used in the same manner as elsewhere.
		The pastoral epistles were first cast into doubt by the knowledge that Marcion, in his compilation of the first known list of New Testament canon, in selecting only the epistles by Paul and the Gospel of Luke, did not make mention of them.
		Later attempts to settle the issue centred on textual criticism and comparison with the other pauline epistles, the severity of the differences between these causing such technical matters to be the main thrust of the argument against Paul's authorship of the texts.

	Talk:Historicity of Jesus/Temp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gnostics were a branch of mystery religions which sometimes incorporated some Christian elements; they were highly concerned with secret, esoteric interpretations of the teachings of Jesus, and less so with their literal content, which they may even have regarded as allegory.
		The Pastoral Epistles of Paul are not usually viewed as Gnostic, but a few scholars claim they were forged by Irenaeus to support his anti-Gnostic views.
		Most scholars do not share this view, in part because Paul's epistles are generally agreed to have been written in the first century, whereas Irenaeus lived in the second century.

		Historiography is a branch of study which focuses on the logical, conceptual, and epistemological aspects of what historians do.
		Critical historiography studies, among other things, the different tests which should be applied to a document to determine whether or not it is historically reliable.
		The Pauline letters abound in utterances which could easily be transferred to Jesus and presented to the world as oracles of the Lord.

	Idle Rambling Thoughts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Conservative Christians maintain that all the disputed epistles were written by Paul and offer a number of arguments in defense of the traditional authorship given to Paul.
		The authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews (which does not bear Paul's name) had been disputed in the early centuries of the church, and very few modern scholars (even conservatives) believe Paul to be its author.
		Strong evidence of the reliance on the authentic Pauline Epistle to the Colossians seems to indicate that this is a letter written after his death, intending to restate and develop some of his theology.

	Darrell Doughty: Pauline Paradigms and Pauline Authenticity
		Moreover, my conception of the Pauline writings as redactional compositions was something quite different from assuming the presence of a few interpolations, or even viewing these writings as editorial combinations of original Pauline fragments.
		Rudolf Bultmann's treatment of Pauline theology represented an attempt to overcome the religious-historical and doctrinal disparities in the Pauline writings by means of existential interpretation.
		The resolution of these issues remains a central and unfulfilled task for Pauline studies that is unlikely to be fulfilled under the assumptions of the present paradigm.

	The Formation of the New Testament Canon
		Thus, he borrows phrases and paraphrases from many Pauline epistles, yet never tells us this is what he is doing (he probably could not recall which letters he was drawing from at the time).
		Pantaenus is also the first to defend the Epistle to the Hebrews as authentic (this had long been in dispute even by his time), on the argument that Paul wanted to compose it anonymously for that particular audience (M 130), and this opinion is generally carried as authoritative (M 134).
		The Epistle of Paul to the Laodiceans, a poor forgery written perhaps near the end of the 3rd century (inspired by Col. 4:16), remained part of many accepted Bibles throughout the Middle Ages, and continued to be included in some printed Bibles as late as the 17th century (M 182-3, 239-40).

		In general, Luke modeled his historiography after Old Testament historiography, In particular, the fourfold function of Old Testament narratives, with all of its complexity, combinations, transformations of perspective, and statistical dynamics, is also to be found in the Lucan narratives.

	Eysinga: The Christ Mystery
		For the Apocalypse of John, the Messiah is merely an eschatological, mythical character that is to be expected at the pending end of times in all his glory, based on the oracles of Daniel.
		The epistles assigned to Paul rather support a mythical son of God, except in some passages suspicious of interpolation.
		The closeness of Paulines and Gnosis has been seen early, but has been falsely explained with adulteration of the Paulines by heretics like Marcion, while the contrary is the case: the canonical Paulines are an acute secularisation of formerly Gnostic-Theosophic thought.

		A similar later confusion is presupposed by Grotius in his views on the Apocalypse, which he regarded as having been kept in the care of the Elder John and "that therefore it came to pass that it was supposed by some to be his work", although Grotius himself regarded it as apostolic.
		This differentiation between epistles and letters, which was first proposed by A. Deissmann,[71] is not sufficiently certain to make an exclusion of the vitally important Pauline letters at all convincing.
		The author of a canonical Epistle, such writers imagine, must either be an apostle, or one of the most despicable class of men, 'the botchers, forgers and woodenheaded compilers' (Rückert, p.

	Jouvert: Circumcising the Antichrist
		As a sequel to Paul's epistles, the Antichrist legend could be thought of as a "necessary evil," necessary to Christianity as Paul conceived of it, a postscript picking up threads that were left imperfectly woven into Paul's schematization of Christian history as a dialectical response to Judaism.
		Christ's circumcision, considered from a Pauline point of view, is a rite that Christ accepted in order to end circumcision (and the law), following Paul's interpretation of Christ's acceptance of death on the cross as a means to give humanity everlasting life.
		Luther, in his Pauline critique of the established Church and the Papacy, invoked the Antichrist legend as a vehicle for his reproaches.

		Ferdinand Christian Baur's binary or tri-partite approach to early Christian historiography is at its base a biographical approach.
		One special contribution of their work is to add "Thomas Christianity" to the Petrine and Pauline forms of Christianity Baur identified (Robinson and Koester 1971: 114-157).

	Sid Green. Yet another incompetent
		The antilegal Pauline belief may have been rather unimportant in its day, but by the end of the first century those who are seen today as "followers of the synoptic tradition" were seeking to detach their new belief entirely from Judaism--which for them meant Nazoreanism.
		James's epistle also includes a handful of ptochos examples, but if ptochos has in fact replaced another word in the two Pauline passages, the implication of the Ebionim is still apparent from context.
		The Pauline epistles were only assembled into compendia early in the second century, previous to which they were not widely known other than to the recipients of the letters.

	Paul: Acts vs Epistles
		Part of what confuses critics is their inability to differentiate between the genre and purpose of Acts versus the Epistles.
		In the former, no one is accusing Paul of manufacturing apostolic credentials, and the problem of his credentials, by Luke's perspective, has already been solved; in the latter, he is addressing that problem specifically.
		It should be noted generally, though, that Luke's Paul also violates conventions of the Jewish law regularly (staying in the houses of Gentiles quite often!), so that the gap is not as wide as critics suggest.

		Nowhere do we find the epistle writers even using the word "disciple" (they of course use the term "apostle" but the word simply means messenger, as Paul saw himself).

		Dating the gospels as late as possible and explaining away the Pauline evidence are unavoidable arguments for the Mythologists.
		Jesus the Nazarene then discusses the Pastoral Epistles, the Epistle to the Hebrews (discussed by me here), the Petrine Epistles, the Johannine Epistles, and Revelations, showing how each adds to the historicist case for Jesus and "necessarily presume the existence of the Gospel tradition." (Page 156).
		Not only does the Pauline evidence fail to support such a view, this position has less corroborative evidence than the supposedly mythical Jesus whose existence is denied.

		The Jesuit Girolamo Manduca (1573-1643) and the father of Maltese historiography, Fra Giovanni Francesco Abela (1582-1655) have been found to be the creators or propagators of a significant number of ‘traditions’ which have become deeply rooted in the history of these islands.

	Edwin Johnson, A Radical Advocate of Chronology Criticism
		Near the end of the 19th Century, there were in Central Europe several scholars, who recognized very exactly, how the Gespinst of Christian historiography distorted is. They fought violently and with unusual logic and sharpness against on why its work has today still large value.
		A theologian, who represents the radical criticism in Berlin after Dutch school, Dr. Hermann Detering, referred me recently to this book [Edwin Johnson's book "The Pauline Epistles", 1894], of which it says on its web page (www.radikalkritik.de), it represents just as radical criticism as from Illig and Topper.
		However Illig is far overtaxed with this probably-meant evaluation, because its 296 (297) years, which he cuts out in the Middle Ages, can not measure with Johnson's certainty that 1500 years church history are too much.
