Misanthropic Quote: Paul Secretly Pagan?

Many of the theories about Paul’s alleged dependence [on the Stoics, Gnostics, or mystery religions] stumble over their inability to come to grips with the radical change produced by Paul’s conversion. Many of them are inconsistent with what we know to be the early church’s repudiation of pagan inclusivism.

    It is very clear in Paul’s letters that he speaks out about these churches, including pagan practices.

    My church is reading through first Corinthians and it interesting to read on what the early churches are doing are similar to what a lot of churches are doing now.
