For this interview, I’d recommend reflecting on the role of Paul for the early Church. How might it be argued that Paul became more vital than the original 12
Apostles? Is this troubling/surprising? Why? What of Crossan’s claim that there are at least three Pauls? How might this be explained in terms of human
personality? How might it be explained in terms of representing different dispositions from different communities of Christians in the first century as
represented in different “Letters of Paul?”
