A Critical Review of Paul the Convert by Alan F. Segal
This paper will analyze Alan Segal's book "Paul the Convert". Segal is presenting a thesis that makes PaulÂ’s Jewish nature a strong factor in his objective to help unite Gentiles and Jews in Tarsus. In his conversion, he is not the type of Christian we might see in todayÂ’s world, making SegalÂ’s psychoanalytical premise seem unfounded due to lack of historical or linguistic evidence.
