Paul - William Wrede torrent

In his work on Paul, Wrede argued that without Paul, Christianity would have basically become just another backwater Jewish sect that would have had little influence in later religious development. As a result, he concluded that Paul was "the second founder of Christianity."[2] He went so far as to separate Paul from his Jewish background, arguing that Paul was definitely influenced by certain Hellenistic concepts. As a result, his understanding of the flesh/spirit dualism within Paul parallels that of many others who understand flesh from a Hellenistic context where matter itself is inherently corrupted.

Wrede's work, and that of Albert Schweitzer himself mark the end of the First Quest or Old Quest into the historical Jesus. Schweitzer's 1906 book was called "The Quest of the Historical Jesus: A Critical Study of Its Progress from Reimarus to Wrede".
