Two days ago, Peter Kirby and I had an excellent discussion from my point of view, in which we touched on many topics, including the question of Paul's authenticity. We spoke publicly, so I will allow myself to quote a fragment of it.
I am absolutely shocked and happy.
But...
It turned out that David Trobisch appeared on HV again and what did he say?
Literature cannot confirm itself. Paul's letters can be a fictional literary work.
Manna from heaven began to fall on Jarek...
I recommend the whole interview
This was the first such statement since Detering's death and since the Price/Ehrman debate when Bart insulted Bob by ridiculing his position.I agree with exploring both.1. Paul's letters may be authentic or they may be invented tradition. This is an undecidable alternative given the evidence collected. Therefore, separate studies should be conducted for both possibilities, hoping that as a result we will be able to rule out one of the options. Yes or No?
