The book pages were scanned and converted to EPUB format

automatically. This process relies on optical character recognition,
and is somewhat susceptible to errors. The book may not offer the
correct reading sequence, and there may be weird characters, non-

headers or footers may remain from the scanned page. The process
which identifies images might have found stray marks on the page
which are not actually images from the book. The hidden page
numbering which may be available to your ereader corresponds to
the numbered pages in the print edition, but is not an exact match;
page numbers will increment at the same rate as the corresponding
print edition, but we may have started numbering before the print
book's visible page numbers. The Internet Archive is working to
improve the scanning process and resulting books, but in the
meantime, we hope that this book will be useful to you.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to thank Dr Francis T.
Glasson, with whom I have discussed various issues relevant to this
book over a considerable period. His remarks were most thought-
provoking, even when I did not agree with them. I should like to
thank also Professor E. P. Sanders for his generous and stimulating
comments. I am also most grateful to Professor A. R. C. Leaney,
Professor P. R. Ackroyd, Canon J. W. Packer and Rabbi Jonathan
Sacks for their encouragement of the rabbinical aspects of my work.
Special thanks are due to Mr Jack Eisner for the generosity and
warmth of his support. I have been greatly heartened by the deep
understanding of the origins of the Jewish-Christian conflict shown
by Professor Roy Eckhart and Dr Robert Everett, and by their
courageous support. I am most grateful to Professor Yehuda Bauer
for his encouragement of my work, and to the International Centre
for the Study of Antisemitism, at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, for supporting its continuance with a grant. I should like
to thank also my colleagues and students at the Leo Baeck College
for their unfailing encouragement and companionship in scholarly
enquiry. The poet Samuel Menashe has been an indefatigable and
inspiring friend and adviser, and I am glad to express here my deep
gratitude to him. My chief thanks, however, must go to my dear
wife, Cynthia, whose keen criticism and advice has contributed to
every page of this book, and whose constant, loving support has
made its completion possible. H.M. IX
 PREFACE As a Talmudic scholar, I have found that
knowledge of the Talmud and other rabbinical works has opened up
the meaning of many puzzling passages in the New Testament. In
my earlier book on Jesus, Revolution in Judaea, I showed how, in
the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus speaks and acts as a Pharisee, though
the Gospel editors have attempted to conceal this by representing
him as opposing Pharisaism even when his sayings were most in
accordance with Pharisee teaching. In the present book, I have used
the rabbinical evidence to establish an opposite contention: that
Paul, whom the New Testament wishes to portray as having been a
trained Pharisee, never was one. The consequences of this for the
understanding of early Christianity are immense. In addition to the
rabbinical writings, I have made great use of the ancient historians,
especially Josephus, Epiphanius and Eusebius. Their statements
must be weighed in relation to their particular interests and bias; but
when such bias has been identified and discounted, there remains a
residue of valuable information. Exactly the same applies to the New
Testament itself. Its information is often distorted by the bias of the
author or editor, but a knowledge of the nature of this bias makes
possible the emergence of the true shape of events. For an
explanation of my stance in relation to the various schools of New
Testament interpretation of modern times, the reader is referred to
the Note on Method, p. 206. In using the Epistles as evidence of
Paul’s life, views and ‘mythology’, I have confined myself to those
Epistles which are accepted by the great majority of New Testament
scholars as the genuine work of Paul. Disputed Epistles, such as
Colossians, however pertinent to my argument, have been ignored.
When quoting from the New Testament, I have usually used the
New English Bible version, but, from time to time, I have used the xi
 PREFACE Authorized Version or the Revised Version, when I
thought them preferable in faithfulness to the original. While the
New English Bible is in general more intelligible to modern readers
than the older versions, its concern for modern English idiom
sometimes obscures important features of the original Greek; and its
readiness to paraphrase sometimes allows the translator’s
presuppositions to colour his translation. I have pointed out several
examples of this in the text. In considering the background of Paul, I
have returned to one of the earliest accounts of Paul in existence,
that given by the Ebionites, as reported by Epiphanius. This account
has been neglected by scholars for quite inadequate and tendentious
reasons. Robert Graves and Joshua Podro in The Nazarene Gospel
Restored did take the Ebionite account seriously; but, though they
made some cogent remarks about it, their treatment of the matter
was brief. I hope that the present book will do more to alter the
prevailing dismissive attitude towards the evidence of this fascinating
and important ancient community.
