[A. Pole]

That the sense of him was Hellenize by Paul (though also a Jew),

What this "Hellenization" by Saint Paul consisted of? Could you specify?

Hmm. I would think one who'd post on "the learning fo the Greeks" would've had his ducks somewhat in order. Nonetheless, see Paul Of Tarsus, the "Alternative Views" section in the lower third of the page.

Not to undermine Christianity, but it would seem Paul, and the gospel writers, drew on many sources and orientations beyond just those of Jesus' end...which incidentally, Paul never seems to have given a hoot about when he later visited Jerusalem. One would think he'd want to visit the site of the Crucifiction, and Jesus' tomb, etc. But alas....

Smart guy, Paul, both before and after his "conversion". Though I don't think I'd have related to him.

Though all in God, who's Goodness I do believe in.
