Greetings

Greetings

What about the initial commissioning of Paul to preach to the Gentiles, for
all intents and purposes he evangelized Gentiles that were associated with
the synagogues of the diaspora, in Damascus and Arabia.

Hengel, Martin, and Anna Maria Schwemer. Paul Between Damascus and Antioch:
The Unknown Years. London: SCM Press, 1997, pp. 107-08.

It appears that Paul's ministry to Gentiles began with the sympathizers of
Judaism. When Paul 'goes west youngman' he targets this groups (Acts 13:50;
16:14; 18:6-7; cf. 13:43; 17:4; 17:17).

The Bethsaida Excavations project may have some archaeological support for
early inclusion of gentiles, as well, based on the 'cross', even thought
its not conclusive. Arav & Freund, Bethsaida, V. 1 and 2.

Also, Rainer Riesner. Paul's Early Period: Chronology, Mission Strategy,
Theology. Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 1998.

Thanks
