“It was Paul who brought the good news to many
communities. He still brings it to us….[W] hat Paul meant was not something
other than or contrary to what Jesus meant, but we can best find out the latter
by studying the former. His letters stand closer to Jesus than do any other
words in the New Testament. They were the first to be penned, the first to be
saved.”—Garry Wills, What Paul Meant (2006)
