Baur criticized the authenticity of some portions of the gospels. In 1886, was a work The Apostolic Age by Weizsacher in the same vein. (Wedderburn, id., at 19.)

Paul Defenders

"A Defense of the Apostle Paul" (2006)

"Do Paul's Vision Accounts Contradict Themselves in Acts" - argue 'acoustica' that men did not hear and then the later 'acoustica' where men did hear, that in the first usage 'acoustica' should be read 'understand,' thus resolving the contradiction. "Not understanding' but 'hearing.'  The contradiction between Acts 9:7 - the "men with Paul did not see anything' and Acts 22:9 'the men with Paul saw the light' is resolved supposedly by reading Acts 9:7 that the men did not see 'anyone' and thus potentially saw the light. But this is invalid because Paul did not see anyone either -- he only saw the light.

Did Paul Contradict Yeshua on the Torah [defends Paul upheld Torah] by Refiner's Fire

An In-Depth Study of Galatians [defends Paul does not abrogate the Law] by Refiner's Fire

[This Galatians article largley says that if Paul said what a Paulinist typically says Paul says, then it would be blasphemy. Since Paul could not mean to blaspheme, we must find a construction that is not blasphemous. However, this is an interpretive filter which fails to test Paul's words by consistency with Scripture.]

Paulinists Who Say Paul's Gospel Supposedly Supercedes Jesus's Gospel in the Flesh

Paul Studies

Paul Defended

Andreas J. Köstenberger, L. Scott Kellum, The Cradle, the Cross, and the Crown: An Introduction to the New Testament (B&H Publishing Group, 2009) at 369 et seq. These authors fairly summarize the criticism of Paul as a follower of Jesus. But then they try to argue the allusions in Paul's writings to Christ's teachings are more numerous than typically thought. Their chart on page 373 is a valiant effort to collect "highly probable allusions" to Jesus' words. However, it is pathetic as the point is that rarely, if any, words of Jesus are ever paraphrased in close approximation by Paul. And that does not solve the contradictions which they correctly summarize over the Law's validity. That is mentioned at 370, but conveniently ignored later.

Persecution by Church of Heretics

Miscellaneous

"Jesuism"  or 'Jesusism," Wikipedia article supposedly defining Jesuists as a rational philosophy that follows Jesus without Paul. It claims this either stands apart from Christianity or opposes it. This is a false dichotomy. The article never mentions there is a distinct spiritual following of Jesus as Messiah and Son of God without accepting Paul. I have to wonder about this article for a second reason. The article inaccurately cites my book Jesus Words Only as discussing 'Jesuism' which I have never even heard of other than this article. Given the inaccurate reference to my book as discussing Jesuism, I question whether the author of this article has in fact created a new term on his or her own. He or she implies the first reference to this term can be found in Bouck White. The Call of the Carpenter. USA: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1911. However, this has not yet been verified. Another Wikipedia article says Bouck White was a Jesusist, but again one wonders where this term originated, and who authored this Wikipedia article.
