Nov 27, 2021 · November 27, 2021. In my graduate seminar this semester we had an interesting and intense discussion about Paul and Jesus. In particular, we delved into the issue of what Paul knew about the historical Jesus and whether he knew more than he said and if so why he didn’t say more and if not how that could be.
Nov 30, 2021 · Paul knows that Jesus was a teacher, because he quotes several of his sayings. I will deal with these later [in my next post]. For now it is worth noting that two of the sayings of Jesus that Paul quotes were delivered, he tells us, at the Last Supper on the very night that Jesus was handed over to the authorities to face his fate. For I ...

May 25, 2021 · Paul is also aware that Jesus was betrayed on the night of the Last Supper (1 Cor 11:23). Paul does not mention who betrayed Jesus, but according to the gospels, it was Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples. Paul tells us that Jesus died for human sins and that he was buried (1 Cor. 15:3-4). Jesus died for all of humanity (2 Cor. 5:14, Rom. 5:8).
