Before It Was Written: What Paul Actually Followed

Before It Was Written: What Paul Actually Followed

What if Paul never used the Bible as his authority — because the Bible didn’t exist yet? This question sits at the heart of Before It Was Written, a deep dive into what Paul actually followed, taught, and called “the Word of God.” Drawing on careful research into Paul’s letters and the New Covenant, Perry Stiltz challenges one of Christianity’s most unexamined assumptions: that Scripture is the foundation of the faith Paul preached.

What you’ll discover is not a rejection of Scripture, but something far more surprising — a recovery of what Paul understood the gospel to actually be.
