Re: Vale Philip R Davies (1945-2018)

It's always a shame to lose one of the tiny minority of rational thinkers inside the Bible guild. Hopefully, his students will fill the void.

The Concept of "Authentic Pauline Epistles"

When did the concept of "Authentic Pauline Epistles" originate, and with whom? Has a book been written on this question? "Authentic Pauline Epistles" are invoked as axiomatic in the literature, i.e., "everyone" accepts seven as written by a historical Paul in the 50s/60...
