Paul APB 8

In this APB I share a clip about Rob Orlando’s movie Apostle Paul: A Polite Bribe in which he asks directly whether Paul was guilty in relation to the laws of Rome as they existed in his time. Even asking the question is important, since we so often equate whether someone was guilty of lawbreaking with whether they were wrong in a moral sense. But those are separate questions, even if our ideal is and should be to have the illegal and the immoral coincide to a large extent. But even then things get complicated.

Elsewhere around the blogs on the subject of Paul the apostle:

Andrew Perriman on whether Paul thought of Jesus as an “angel of God” (and if so, what he might have meant by that).

Bart Ehrman on Paul on the status of women and the Thecla legends
