The Origin of Paul's Religion

"The Origin of Paul's Religion" by J. Gresham Machen is a book that looks at the beginnings of Christianity by studying the apostle Paul. The book is an attempt to look at the history of Christianity to determine if the origin of Christianity is found in historical events or elsewhere. It argues that understanding Paul’s background and experiences is key to understanding Christianity itself. It discusses his background as a Jew, and how this influenced his later beliefs. It sets up a deeper look into how Paul's life and teachings shaped the way Christians thought in the early days of the faith.
