To Mark's observations I would add the following in
brief: An accurate way to deal with the question of
Paul's "independency/dependency" would be to say that
he maintained his independence with regards to the
source/origins of his gospel (God, no one else), but
he acknowledged his dependence on apostolic authority
with regards to just how that gospel (Gentile mission)
was to be carried out. I think James Dunn once put the
matter in these terms.
