Description: In Paul and Jesus, Herman Ridderbos, an outstanding New Testament scholar, seeks to understand the preaching of Paul within the framework of the history of revelation. In a sense the book is an introduction to Paul in that it deals with the main perspectives of his preaching and critically compares the latter with the self-disclosure of Jesus. Although the primary aim of the work is to arrive at a clear understanding of the character of Paul's preaching, the author carries on a continuous polemic with outstanding representatives of New Testament criticism and devotes considerable attention to the position of R. Bultmann, so that the sub-title of Paul and Jesus might well have been Revelation or Myth. - Translator's preface.
