| Posted 2/9/2003 3:30 AM (GMT -6) |   | I know this charge has been put on Paul, and allows gnostics to feel like they have grounds in their theology. How does one reach this conclusion of Paul? Are these scholars who call Paul a gnostic as true as the ones, like N.T. Wright, who seem to have a pretty good grasp on St.Paul and his message.
What is the dealio?
Blessings,
Paul
