Did Paul Create Christianity? Paula Fredriksen Explains

Did Paul oppose Jewish Law—or have we misunderstood him for centuries?

In this fascinating conversation, renowned historian of religion Paula Fredriksen explores one of the most controversial questions in biblical studies: What was Paul's vision for Jews and Gentiles?

Many assume Paul rejected the Torah and encouraged Gentiles to abandon Jewish traditions. But according to Fredriksen's groundbreaking research, Paul was not trying to create a new religion. Instead, he believed he was witnessing the fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecies in which the nations would turn to the God of Israel while remaining nations.
