دانلود کتاب St Paul and the Church of Jerusalem

St Paul’s conversion to Christianity transformed a vicious persecutor of
Christians into one of the most important and influential figures in the
foundation of the early church. Paul’s broad theological knowledge and his
ambitious vision for the faith made him a major force in the development
of Christianity from its origins as an obscure Jewish sect. W.L. Knox’s 1925
biography examines what influenced Paul’s theological ideas and how his
desire to extend the church’s reach to gentiles and the wider world put him in
opposition with other early church figures like St Peter. Placing Paul’s work
in the social and religious context of Jerusalem following the death of Jesus,
Knox evokes the atmosphere of persecution in Jerusalem and the inner social
dynamics of the early Christian sect, evaluating Paul’s impact on the growing
church and the particular ideas and elements of doctrine that prevailed as a
result of his involvement.
