Paul the apostle and the historian Flavius Josephus spent
considerable parts of their careers away from Jerusalem. They
cultivated Roman audiences under very different circumstances:
Paul, with his Letter to the Romans; and Josephus, with the
writings he produced in Rome after the Jewish War. Curiously,
Paul's last visit to Jerusalem coincided with Josephus's entry into
public life, a period about which Josephus is deliberately silent.
In this book, F. B. A. Asiedu selects themes from Josephus's life
to explore Paul's letters and his biography that contribute to his
uniqueness in Jewish history. He highlights, for example, the need
to read Romans 9-11 as aporetic discourse to appreciate Paul as an
existential thinker. Asiedu considers, among other things, the
authenticity of Paul's letters and offers an alternative to the
prevailing scholarly consensus. He maintains, as well, that the
Pauline collection in the New Testament first took shape in Corinth
in the house of Gaius, where Paul composed Romans. Asiedu also
suggests that the traditional view that Luke the Physician wrote
the Acts of the Apostles is probably a mistake. He argues that
Titus the Greek, the co-worker and friend of Barnabas and Paul, was
the most likely person to have authored Acts.
