Publisher's Synopsis
""The Question Of Paul's Indebtedness To The Mystery Religions For Characteristic Terms And Ideas"" is a scholarly book by Henry C. Sheldon that explores the relationship between the Apostle Paul's teachings and the mystery religions of the ancient world. The book delves into the possibility that Paul was influenced by the mystery religions in his use of certain terms and ideas, such as the concept of a dying and rising savior. Sheldon examines the evidence for and against this theory, drawing on a range of sources including ancient texts, archaeological discoveries, and historical records. The book provides a detailed analysis of the similarities and differences between Paul's teachings and those of the mystery religions, and offers insights into the cultural and religious context in which Paul lived and worked. This is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christianity, as well as anyone interested in the history of religion and the ancient world.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mystery Religions and the New Testament, by Henry C.
