Summary "The Christ of Paul; Or, The Enigmas of Christianity" by George Reber is a historical theological study written in the late 19th century. This work explores the life and impact of Paul the Apostle on early Christianity, focusing particularly on his conversion experience, teachings, and the controversies surrounding his doctrines. Reber delves into the relationship between Paul's teachings and other contemporary religious philosophies, while raising critical questions about the origins and developments within early Christian thought. The opening of the book sets the stage during a tumultuous time in Jerusalem around A.D. 34, detailing the death of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and Paul's dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus. The narrative introduces Paul as a man initially zealous in persecuting Christians but later transformed by a profound spiritual encounter with Christ. Following this, the text explores his subsequent withdrawal to Arabia for reflection and contemplation, solidifying his beliefs and preparing him for his mission to spread the Gospel. Reber raises key questions regarding the nature of Paul's revelations and his theological stance, especially in relation to the teachings of other prominent figures of his time. This exploration offers a glimpse into the complexities of early Christianity and sets the framework for further discussions in subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
