Corpus-Paul

["Vince Endris" <vince_endris AT hotmail.com>]

Speaking of Schweitzer,  I was very impressed with his "Quest of the 
Historical Jesus."  This book influenced me more than any in my thoughts on 
the NT.  Since I began studying Paul, I have been looking for his "Paul and 
his interpreters."  I assume this is the book you were talking about that is 
no longer in print.  Should I continue my search?  Is this a good book on 
Paul?  Does Schweitzer review the history of the study of Paul like he did 
for Jesus?  What is his thesis?
