Paul's letters are the earliest surviving Christian writings and therefore the earliest documentary evidence for what Jesus' followers knew and said about him. The present volume deals with questions frequently asked about Paul: Did he know Jesus personally? If not, then how much did Paul know about Jesus, and how did this information come to him?
