Paul And His Interpreters - Albert Schweitzer - Bog

""Paul and His Interpreters: A Critical History"" is a book written by Albert Schweitzer and published in 1912. The book is a critical examination of the writings and interpretations of the Apostle Paul, one of the most influential figures in Christianity. Schweitzer analyzes the various interpretations of Paul's teachings throughout history, from the early church to modern times, and offers his own interpretation of Paul's philosophy and theology.Schweitzer argues that many of the interpretations of Paul's writings have been influenced by the cultural and historical contexts in which they were written, rather than the true meaning of Paul's teachings. He also criticizes the tendency of some theologians to use Paul's writings to support their own theological agendas, rather than seeking to understand Paul's original message.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the interpretation of Paul's writings, from the early church to the 19th century. The second part offers Schweitzer's own interpretation of Paul's teachings, which he believes are centered on the concept of ""mystical union"" with Christ.Overall, ""Paul and His Interpreters"" is a scholarly work that aims to provide a critical and objective analysis of the interpretation of Paul's teachings throughout history. It is a valuable resource for scholars and theologians interested in the history and theology of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
