Dr Frank W. Hughes is an Episcopal priest who served churches in central Pennsylvania and western Louisiana. He was a senior lecturer in New Testament Studies at Codrington College in Barbados, in affiliation with the University of the West Indies. The question asked was "Why are the Pauline epistles given much authority compared to the 12 apostles of Jesus?" This question was asked during a live session with Dr. Hughes at @JacobBermanHistoryValley 00:30 ? Paul's authentic letters are the earliest writings in the New Testament, dating back to shortly after the death and resurrection of Jesus. 02:15 ? Paul never used the term "gospel" to refer to a written biography of Jesus, suggesting that the gospels were likely written after his letters. 03:35 ✝️ Paul's letters hold significant theological content, addressing topics such as the meaning of Christ's death and resurrection, salvation of Israel, and justification by faith. 04:42 ? Paul's letters also discuss the second coming of Christ and played a central role in early Gentile churches. 05:20 ? Paul's letters were in circulation for decades before the gospels were written and later circulated, contributing to their authority in early Christianity. #paulineepistles #authority #newtestament #theology #christdeathandresurrection #salvationofisrael #justificationbyfaith #secondcomingofchrist #gentilechurches #earlychristianity ..................................................................................... ?
