An analysis of Paul's place in the development of the Christian church shows that Paul was not a marginal figure, operating out of reaction. He was instead a driven pioneer for a Christianity that is aware of Christ's kingship, and that realizes it is not a new religion but the fulfillment of the messianic promises made to Abraham.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jakob Van Bruggen</note> <subject> <topic>Paul, -- the Apostle, Saint</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">225.92</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J25-B89</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780875526485</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070418.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
