About this listen

The centuries after the Protestant Reformation brought about a radical reinterpretation of the epistles of St. Paul, disconnected from any historical reality. But Paul operated, during his entire life, as a faithful Pharisee within the Roman Jewish world. In Saint Paul the Pharisee: Jewish Apostle to All Nations, Fr. Stephen De Young surveys Paul’s life and writings, interpreting them within the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church. This survey is followed by De Young’s interpretive translation of St. Paul’s epistles, which deliberately avoids overly familiar terminology. By using words and ideas grounded in first-century Judaism, De Young hopes to unsettle commonly held notions and help the reader reassess St. Paul in his historical context.

The book is fairly board going over the history as it relates to St. Paul, it explores both pagan, Jewish and Christian concepts of the time. You did mention the proto Apostolic succession briefly that the Pharisees(in this case, elders that made up a Sanhedrin) had received from Moses, I appreciate that it was mentioned, but I would have liked it more explicit, like going over the jewish thought of this and with the idea of binding and loosening authority and how this related to early Christianity and especially St. Paul(as the book revolves around him). If this isn't a plan for a future edition or book of yours, is there any good books that go over this particularly in relation to Orthodoxy? I will be recommending this book and listening to this again. God Bless!
