520 _aMuch of the popular understanding of the apostle Paul has been shaped not by Paul's letters themselves but by the Acts of Apostles. This understanding, many believe, leads to misunderstanding Paul's theology. In The Apostle Paul and the Pauline Tradition Stephen Finlan takes a new approach, focusing on the letters themselves. He views the Pauline tradition as including the teaching and writings of Paul himself, the assimilation and often simplification of Paul's ideas by those who followed him and then wrote letters in his name, and the final form of the letters the church has labeled as Paul's. Though this broad, shifting, and expanding notion of tradition, readers will explore with Finlan such questions as: What did Paul really think–and write–about Jesus, redemption, and the Christian life? Who were the original audiences that first received these texts? How and how much did Paul's followers change his ideas in the letters they wrote "for" him? Finlan is convinced that this "educated questioning and investigating becomes a valid part of the life of faith–not replacing faith, but joined to it". Through his accessibly written text, readers in the end will understand and agree.
