Excerpt from Paul and His Interpreters: A Critical History The present work forms the continuation of my History of the Critical Study of the Life of Jesus, which appeared in 1906 under the title "Von Reimarus zu Wrede." Any one who deals with the teaching and the life and work of Jesus, and offers any kind of new reading of it, ought not to stop there, hut must he held under obligation to trace, from the stand-point at which he has arrived, the pathway leading to the history of dogma. Only in this way can it he clearly shown what his discovery is worth. The great and still undischarged task which confronts those engaged in the historical study of primitive Christianity is to explain how the teaching of Jesus developed into the early Greek theology, in the form in which it appears in the works of Ignatius, Justin, Tertullian and Irenaeus. How could the doctrinal system of Paul arise on the basis of the life and work of Jesus and the beliefs of the primitive community; and how did the early Greek theology arise out of Paulinism? Strauss and Renan recognised the obligation, and each endeavoured in a series of works to trace the path leading from Jesus to the history of dogma. Since their time no one who has dealt with the life of Jesus has attempted to follow this course. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An excerpt from St. Paul and The Mystery Religions by John Franklin Troupe: ….ALBERT SCHWEITZER lays a very peculiar emphasis upon the eschatology of Paul, which he claims arises out of his conception of union with Christ. In this book, St. Paul and His Interpreters, he points out the contrast between Paul's conception of union with Christ, and the idea in the Mystery Religions, namely, that the Divine essence passes into the soul of the living man, by means of gnosis and the vision of God. He then goes on to interpret Paul's conception in the light of his theory of Consistant Eschatology. The point of interests is the fact that Paul's eschatology is not due to the influence of the Mystery Religions. The Apostle's idea of union with Christ may be said to be a willing identification with the death of Christ, responsive to the love of the cross, accompanied by cessation from sin. Paul certainly had in mind the "glorious consummation of the future," but it is equally certain that he presents no fixed program of events for that future. Death, for him, was a passing from the present life into the presence of the living Lord. Life in Christ meant for him, continued personal existence beyond the confines of space and time, in conformity with the life of the glorified Lord. "For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection," Romans vi: 5. Our investigation has resulted in the discovery that there is nothing in Paul which may not be traced to Judaism or the vision on the Damascus road. At the beginning of our investigation it appeared that Paul's close and long continued contact with the Mystery Religions was suggestive of early Christianity being influenced by them, but it now appears that even where there are parallels between Paul and the Mystery Religions, he has used the mystery terminology as a vehicle to convey the true religion to hearers who were well acquainted with that form of speech….
