Valentin de Boulogne, Saint Paul Writing His Epistles, 16th century (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas). However, most scholars think Paul dictated his letters to a secretary (e.g., Romans 16:22).
Since the 1970s, scholars have sought to place Paul the Apostle within his historical context in Second Temple Judaism.[1] Paul's relationship to Judaism involves topics including the status of Israel's covenant with God and the role of works as a means to either gain or keep the covenant.[2]
The inclusion of Gentiles into the early Christian movement provoked a controversy between Paul and other Apostles over whether the gentiles' faith in Christ exempted them from circumcision.[2][3] Paul did not deem circumcision necessary for gentiles, because he thought that God included them into the New Covenant through faith in Christ.[2][3][4][5] This brought him into conflict with the Judaizers, a faction of the Jewish Christians who believed Mosaic Law did require circumcision for Gentile converts.[2][3][4][5][6] Eventually Paul's view prevailed, and this among other related developments led to the separation of early Christianity from Judaism.[2][3]
