Jew imposter, founder of a new religion, anti-Semite ? these are some of the descriptions given to Paul over the years. In his desire to fulfill his commission to take the Basar (Good News) to all the world, Paul?s actions and intentions have been misunderstood and misinterpreted by both Gentile and Jew. This study focuses on Paul, and the charges against him in the light of first century Judaism and scriptural understanding of the time.

Dear Joe,
this is such an informative teaching. Your teachings are an incredible history class! I am learning so much. I did email you concerning why Jewish Scholars seemed to be so negative towards Paul, and you answered it so well here. Thank you once again for your understandings and teachings.
Shalom,
Chris
Shalom Chris, Thanks again for your kind comments. I am a fan of Paul and love to find the evidence that shows he did not depart from Judaism or form a new religion. I believe the epistles have not yet been tapped for all that is there. I still have not read the article by Dr. Flusser, but am looking forward to it. I have been working on the new course on the Temple and hope to have the first lesson ready shortly.
