At the moment my library (what remains of it) is packed away and out of
reach. I cannot resist, however, a comment about the Gal. 2 discussion
and the Noachide commandments. My book, The Origin of 1 Corinthians,
has as one of its major theses the proposition that the letter which
Paul wrote previous to 1 Corinthians was his attempt to communicate to
the Corinthians the provisions of the Apostolic Decree agreed upon by
Paul and the Jerusalem apostles at the Jerusalem visit summarized in
Gal. 2. Those provisions were, I argued, in essence the Noachide
commandments.
While I hold Acts at arms length when considering Paul's carrer, I
do think that Acts has correctly preserved a connection between Paul and
the Apostolic Decree.
With best wishes! -- John Hurd
