The book examines both the similarities and the differences between Paul’s and Jesus’ teachings, highlighting how Paul interpreted Jesus’ message in light of his own experiences and the early Christian mission. Wenham stresses that Paul’s letters are not a new or separate gospel, but rather a continuation and expansion of the gospel that Jesus proclaimed. In essence, “Paul and Jesus” shows that while Paul’s theology is distinctive, it is deeply rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus, and the two are fundamentally interconnected.
