What is his gospel? He doesn\u2019t tell us in so many words, and although we may be able to deduce what it is from his letters, I think this is worth noting, and not considered often enough.<\/p>\n
His gospel, the message he proclaimed, is something he says emphatically was of divine origin. And that is something he never had written down.<\/p>\n
His letters, on the other hand, he does not claim to be of divine rather than human origin.<\/p>\n
