THE HIDDEN EVANGEL: THE UNREVEALED GOSPEL ACCORDING TO PAUL: Christianity According to Paul: More than Mere Christianity, The Reason for God and Finding ... Mom Management Master the Game Book 2)

In the following selections, the writings of Paul are configured into an order more reminiscent of the Book of Luke, where his full narrative, preaching, and beliefs unfold in a more or less chronological manner. The chronological configuration allows the reader to appreciate Paul’s teachings from a bigger, overreaching perspective, demonstrating also how well his works fit in with the other four Gospels.


The New Testament begins with the Book of Matthew, which was apparently written with a Jewish audience in mind; Matthew records the genealogy from King David to Jesus and lists the various prophecies from the Old Testament as he describes the ways that Jesus fulfilled them. By contrast, the Gospel of John Mark is seen as a testament to the Romans and to the public more than merely the Jews. The Gospel of the physician, Luke, is seen as Jesus’ testament to historians and the Gentile churches. Finally, the Gospel written for the broadest audience is that of John, the Beloved Disciple and the last of the Apostles to die.
In the days of the Early Church fathers, approximately the time from Jesus’ death to A.D. 150, readers readily accepted these gospels as accurate testimonies of the men who had been with Jesus as his disciples or who were exceptionally close to Jesus, as was the case with John Mark.
But in addition to these Gospels, many of the letters from the Apostle Paul were then accepted into the Biblical canon. Paul’s own story is recounted throughout the Book of Luke and in Acts of the Apostles. Paul was called to be the Apostle to the Gentiles, while Peter was to be the rock of the church, preaching to the Jews. Today, a large amount of information on Jesus and his life is legible through the words of Paul, who heard Jesus calling to him on the road to Damascus. Paul, also known as Saul, was persecuting and killing Jews and Christians in the belief that they were apostates, people who were corrupting the Jewish faith.
When reading the letters of Paul, assembled from longest to shortest after the Book of Acts in the New Testament, some people are surprised to see such a diverse collection of work from just one man. After all, of the gospel writers, only John wrote any additional books of the Bible. While John’s Gospel is thought to have been written closer to A.D. 90, many of Paul’s works and travels took place much earlier. From Romans to Philemon, Paul’s authorship of the Bible accounts for nearly half of the books in the New Testament. While some might be surprised by Paul’s influence, considering that he was not one of the original Twelve, closer examination reveals that Paul is a credible author not only for the history of Christ and His resurrection, but also for the history of Jewish Law more generally. In fact, Paul’s upbringing, education, and conversion to Christianity arguably provide a legitimate basis for listing him as the author of “The Fifth Gospel.” or “The Hidden Evangel”
