Description

This investigation into Paul's relationship with the church of Jerusalem draws on the insights of sociology to complement the historical-critical method.

Taylor argues that the church of Antioch was, for a significant part of Paul's career, not merely the base of his missionary activities but also the community from which he derived his identity.

His relationship with the church of Jerusalem must be understood accordingly.

Paul's alienation from the Antiochene church in the aftermath of his confrontation with Peter meant loss of apostolic commission and social identity.

Galatians reflects the reconstruction of Paul's personal and apostolic identity to compensate for this loss.
