Corpus-Paul

["Ian E. Rock" <irock AT caribsurf.com>]

I would think that Paul is trapped in the first stage oral tradition that 
eventually
will find concrete expression in the context of each evangelist.  This may be
supported by the view that if we take Mark as the earliest of the Gospels, 
Mark
postdates the letters of Paul.  Paul is using however sources that are common 
to the
gospels in some cases.  A popular case in point would be the tradition of the 
Lord's
supper in 1 Cor., which we see expressed, albeit in a different order in 
Luke.  Paul's
idea of love of God and neighbour certainly compares to the gospel narratives 
that
suggest a similar religio-ethical approach to life.  But then again that idea 
is also
present in the old testament.

These are just my initial thoughts, but I am keen to find out other opinions.

In Christ
