Paul and His Interpreters
Overview
Albert Schweitzer points out the contrast between Paul’s conception of union with Chrst and the idea in Greek mystery religions that the Divine essence passes into the soul of the living man by means of gnosis and the vision of God. Paul’s continued interaction with mystery religions was suggestive of early Christianity being influenced by them, but Schweitzer proposes that Paul used the mystery terminology as a vehicle to convey the true religion to the hearers who were well acquianted with that form of speech.
