| book description |

Pauline Christianity takes a fresh perspective on the composition and reception of Luke-Acts in relation to the category â€˜Pauline Christianityâ€™ as it has been used to describe traditions, communities, and persons connected to Paul. This inquiry is pursued along three lines. (1) The reception of the Acts of the Apostles and the â€˜Paulineâ€™ Luke by Irenaeus is addressed. (2) The compositional intentions of the author of Luke-Acts in constructing â€˜Paulineâ€™ Christianity are analyzed. (3) The literary Paulinism of the author is separated from the Paulinism of his sources. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion of Paulâ€™s role in the history of early Christianity by making clear the extent to which the â€˜Pauline Christianityâ€™ of Luke-Acts has its origins in various second-century attempts to reconstruct the Christian origins.
