Paul And Jesus by James D. Tabor
How the Apostle Transformed Christianity
Argues that the faith that emerged was shaped more by the apostle to the Gentiles than by the Galilean teacher and his Jerusalem followers, contending that visions and theological innovations—cosmic Christ, salvation by faith for non-Jews, relaxed Torah observance, and new rites—recast an apocalyptic Jewish movement into a universal religion. By reading the letters alongside Acts and early traditions, it maps conflicts with James and Peter, reassesses resurrection claims, and shows how this reinterpretation eclipsed the original message.
