Paul the Apostle

0

Near balanceFormula-derived score

Apostle whose letters reach the public as a later collection: Nestle-Aland, Gutenberg Bible, KJV, vatican.va. Documented harms: household codes, slave-obedience, Romans 13, later colonial mission and Lutheran split. Uncertain chronology: no 64 CE Nero death certificate is stored as a civil file.

Received Pauline collection as later canon not as a recovered autograph briefcasejustification and household codes printed togethercolonial and Reformation uses treated as reception

Impact

Not rated yet: the verified records linked to this person, without a numeric impact.

Editorial assessment (context, not the score)

The page is not a stained-glass conversion and not a unique author of colonial mission. The heaviest documented costs in public Bibles are household codes, slave-obedience, Romans 13, and later uses in law and mission.

He did not file 1455 or 1522. Printers and reformers did that work. Confidence is high on those books, low on a 64 CE certificate.

Expert analysis

An excerpt; the full analysis opens on request.

The first fact about Paul in a public catalog is a later book, not a roadside conversion as if it were filmed. Nestle-Aland 28 at https://www.academic-bible.com/en/online-bibles/novum-testamentum-graece-na28/read-the-bible-text/ (opens in a new tab) and the German Bible Society at https://www.die-bibel.de/en (opens in a new tab) put a critical Greek corpus on a desk. The British Library’s Gutenberg Bible page at https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/gutenberg-bible (opens in a new tab) shows a 1450s print of a later canon, not a first-century autograph. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Paul-the-Apostle (opens in a new tab) and Stanford at https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/paul/ (opens in a new tab) treat chronology as uncertain. This page does not store a 64 CE Nero execution as a civil-registry Fact.

New Advent Romans at https://www.newadvent.org/bible/rom001.htm (opens in a new tab) and Ephesians at https://www.newadvent.org/bible/eph001.htm (opens in a new tab) print authority-obedience and household codes. 1 Corinthians at https://www.newadvent.org/bible/1co001.htm (opens in a new tab) names congregants and sexual cases. KJV at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10 (opens in a new tab) multiplies those pages. Later slaveholding and criminal law quoted them (OHCHR slavery pages at https://www.ohchr.org/en/slavery (opens in a new tab) frame the later harm family without making Paul a 19th-century legislator). Luther at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Martin-Luther (opens in a new tab) used Paul as a 1522 wedge. Mission print used the journeys as a colonial heading. Acts at https://www.newadvent.org/bible/act001.htm (opens in a new tab) is a later narrative.

The offsets are dated. Philemon is a named plea. NA28, vatican.va at https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/_INDEX.HTM (opens in a new tab), Perseus NT at https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0155 (opens in a new tab), and the Cambridge Companion at https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-companion-to-st-paul/ (opens in a new tab) are access machines. New Perspective scholarship reopened school-Paul. Bible-society industry cheapened paper.

Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on NA28/KJV/Gutenberg as public objects, medium on later legal coefficients, low on the exact death year.

Related people are Peter as received colleague-rival, Luther as later user, Augustine as later reader, Nero as received executioner in tradition.

1455 is a press. 1522 is a reformer. 2012 is NA28. 64 CE is not a file here. Keep NA28, Gutenberg, Luther, and household codes on separate dates.
