Introduction: Paul and Jesus -- Christianity before Paul -- Rethinking resurrection of the dead -- Reading the Gospels in the light of Paul -- Last but not least -- A cosmic family and a heavenly kingdom -- A mystical union with Christ -- Already but not yet -- The Torah of Christ -- The battle of the Apostles.

Draws on St. Paul's letters and other early sources to reveal the apostles' sharply competing ideas about the significance of Jesus and his teachings while demonstrating how St. Paul independently shaped Christianity as it is known today.
