Paul was misunderstood by the Protestant Reformers and is still being misunderstood by Protestantism because our Bibles are being mistranslated to agree with the Reformers on a major issue with regard to salvation. Paul was teaching that obeying Jesus is required for salvation; only he was rabbinically placing the works of obeying Jesus inside the vehicle of faith. Christianity is a covenantal-nomistic system--a covenant system with law, which requires obedience to the law (John 15:1-17). Paul was teaching the same thing as he was teaching the "faith of Jesus"--the faith that Jesus was teaching and exemplifying (not just "faith in Jesus"). This book goes through much evidence, including translations, Greek lexicons/dictionaries and other evidences showing that Paul was teaching that following and obeying Jesus, being on the journey of living out the faith that Jesus taught, demonstrated and exemplified is what God is looking for.

Pamela Eisenbaum, an expert on early Christianity, reveals the true nature of the historical Paul in Paul Was Not a Christian. She explores the idea of Paul not as the founder of a new Christian religion, but as a devout Jew who believed Jesus was the Christ who would unite Jews and Gentiles and fulfill God’s universal plan for humanity. Eisenbaum’s work in Paul Was Not a Christian will have a profound impact on the way many Christians approach evangelism and how to better follow Jesus’s—and Paul’s—teachings on how to live faithfully today.

This book 3 in the series, Understanding the Soteriology of Paul, goes deeper into the issues of how Paul and New Testament soteriology are being misunderstood and how our New Testaments are being misunderstood and mistranslated by Protestant translators. Book 1, Paul is Misunderstood and Mistranslated (approx. 400 pages) shows how Paul was not teaching that one is saved through a mental faith alone separate from obedience to what Christ was requiring for salvation, and that Paul was not teaching that one cannot do anything to be saved. He was teaching a faith perspective on pursuing justification/righteousness and salvation (cf. Rom. 9:30-32) in contrast with the Law of Moses and what Paul came out of--Pharisaic legalism (the Oral Torah, later written down as the Talmud and Mishnah), not with what Christ was requiring. And that being saved through obeying what Christ was requiring was being saved by grace (Titus 3) and through faith (Gal. 3!) as opposed to a works approach of merely checking boxes which can lead to spiritually dead legalism. Paul's context was not the medieval Catholic Church, Paul was helping emerging Christianity to separate from the Law of Moses as a requirement and to pursue righteousness and salvation from a perspective of faith (Rom. 9:30-32). Paul's rabbinic and hyperbolic approach that was about faith "from first to last" (Rom 1:17, NIV!) was taken too literally and legalistically by post medieval Gentile theologians putting a mental faith above all of Christ's salvation requirements. Paul was teaching a deep internal heart faith, a working (Gal. 5:6), faithful (by definition!) and obedient (Rom. 1:5; 15:18; 16:26; cf. Rom. 6:16ff.) faith. As it turns out, Paul was teaching a new perspective. Book 2 in the series on understanding Paul's soteriology shows how there is only one gospel but two perspectives in the NT on obeying Christ's salvation requirements--the straightforward perspective taught by Jesus and His original apostles and Paul's "through faith...not by works" perspective aimed against the LOM as a requirement and against legalism. Book 3 shows that, as in agreement with such as N. T. Wright, Paul was not teaching a new and different way to be saved different from what Christ was teaching, Paul was teaching people who had already been saved (Acts 2! 19:1-7) through obeying what Christ was requiring, that they had been (cf. Eph. 2:8-9, compare translations) through faith. This latest book in the series shows that when Paul's teachings are viewed as a new way to be saved, it clashes with what Jesus was (and Jesus' original apostles were) teaching (Acts 2:37-41; cf. also His brother James' writings in Jms. 2). But when it is recognized that Paul was not teaching a new and different gospel (cf. Gal. 1) but the gospel of Christ (Rom.1) from a rabbinic "it's all about faith" (cf. Rom. 1:17) perspective, all of the many problems go away! And when this is understood, there can be much more unity within Protestantism and even between Protestantism and the more ancient witnesses to Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox)! Book 1 and especially book 3 show that Paul was teaching a practical soteriology, salvation through the faith of (belonging to, for scholars--the natural sense of the Greek genitive) Christ. Book 3 goes deeper into the subject of how there are two perspectives in the NT on justification/righteousness. It shows that trying to understand Paul as teaching a new and different gospel from Christ has resulted in the Catholic vs. Protestant train wreck. Viewing Paul's "through faith" teachings as a new and different way to be saved (immediate, full and complete salvation), in contrast to what Jesus was teaching, has been the problem. The question in scholarship, "Jesus or Paul?" can and should be viewed as Jesus and Paul, not Apples to Apples, Apples to Oranges! There is one gospel, two perspectives on the one gospel--Jesus' and Paul's.

We have misunderstood Paul, badly. We have read his words through our own set of assumptions. We need to begin with Paul's world view, to see things the way he saw them. - What if 'original sin' was never part of Paul's thinking? - What if the idea that we are saved by faith in Christ, as Luther argued, was based on a mistranslation of Paul's words and a misunderstanding of Paul's thinking? 'Over the centuries,' writes Steve Chalke, 'the Church has repeatedly failed to communicate, or even understand, the core of Paul's message. Although Paul has often been presented as the champion of exclusion, he was the very opposite. He was the great includer.' Steve Chalke MBE is a Baptist minister, founder and leader of the Oasis Charitable Trust, and author of more than 50 books.

A “witty and accessible look at Scripture” that explores what the Bible meant before two millennia of mistranslations and misinterpretations (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In this fascinating book, acclaimed translator and biblical scholar Dr. Joel M. Hoffman walks the reader through dozens of mistranslations, misconceptions, and other misunderstandings about the Bible. In forty short, straightforward chapters, he covers morality, lifestyle, theology, and biblical imagery, including: The Bible doesn’t call homosexuality a sin, and doesn’t advocate for the one-man-one-woman model of the family that has been dubbed “biblical.” The Bible’s famous “beat their swords into plowshares” is matched by the militaristic “beat your plowshares into swords.” The often-cited New Testament quotation “God so loved the world” is a mistranslation, as are the titles “Son of Man” and “Son of God.” The Ten Commandments don’t prohibit killing or coveting. What does the Bible say about violence? About the Rapture? About keeping kosher? About marriage and divorce? Hoffman provides answers to all of these and more, succinctly explaining how so many pivotal biblical answers came to be misunderstood.

“For me, Paul has always been the most difficult and therefore also most delightful advocate and interpreter of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the human experience of God’s transforming power through Christ. In Paul’s letters above all I have found the quality of mind and the depth of conviction that could arouse in me both excitement and passion. And it is Paul’s letters, above all, that show how important and difficult is life together in the church.” — from the preface With the contextual framework in place from volume one of The Canonical Paul, Luke Timothy Johnson now probes each of the thirteen biblical letters traditionally attributed to the apostle Paul in a way that balances respect for historical integrity with attention to present-day realities. In doing so, Johnson reforges the connection between biblical studies and the life of the church, seeking to establish once again the foundational and generative role that the thirteen letters of Paul have had among Christians for centuries. Far from being a “definitive theology” of Paul, or an oversimplified synthesis, Interpreting Paul provides glimpses into various moments of Paul’s thinking and teaching that we find in Scripture, modeling how one might read his letters closely for fresh, creative interpretations now and into the future. Approached in this way, both in minute detail and as a whole canon, Paul’s letters yield rich insights, and his voice becomes accessible to all readers of the Bible.

Acts is arguably the most exciting book in the New Testament. It covers the tumultuous early years of Christianity and narrates the growth of the church throughout the Roman Empire. Luke tells this story by focusing primarily on two men, Peter and Paul. This book examines their apostolic ministries as they are revealed within the pages of The Acts of the Apostles. Their apostolic ministries are examined in the context of several different components: Leadership, Evangelism and Church Planting, Miracle Working and Healing, and Mystical or Supernatural Experiences. These categories are shown to detail particular aspects of each man's apostleship work. These categories provide a convenient way to compare and contrast the type of ministry that each apostle performed, as described by Luke. Spell also devotes a chapter each to Luke's literary method and the relationship of Peter and Paul as seen in their letters. These two chapters lay important groundwork for examining the apostles. This book will provide the reader with valuable insights from Scripture that they can apply to their own lives and ministry. By looking at how Peter and Paul conducted their ministries in the first century, we can be more effective in the twenty-first.

This book has its starting point in the paradoxical descriptions Paul often gives of his own ministry. Why does he seem impelled to use paradox? And why do these depictions of his ministry seem so close to his language about the atoning work of Christ? In answering these questions Professor Hanson argues that Paul has largely transferred to the apostolic ministers the character of the citizens of the kingdom which he knew from his acquaintance with the teaching of Jesus. In an important extension to the main argument, Professor Hanson examines how the theme of the paradox of the cross fared at the hands of Paul's immediate successors up to the time of Ignatius of Antioch, and asks how far Paul's depiction of the apostolic ministry can throw light on questions of ministry today.
