it's in the nature of human beings to make judgements.
arguably characters like saul/paul and augustine shaped the moral structure of the early church far more than the yeshuah of the gospels did. the early church and today's churches as well.
the core message of the letters seemed to me to be, "do not dare to defy the authority of appointed leaders, for fear of judgement", but I think I've already admitted I found them a difficult read.
I'd be happy to hear any lauding of saul/paul that anyone might care to make.
you know, I have to admit I don't have a decent book about paul in my library. I wonder if there is one.
