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 Pauls 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 todays world, making Segals psychoanalytical premise seem unfounded due to lack of historical or linguistic evidence.
