It was he, in the 17th century, who used the mysticism of the Kabbalah to convince vast numbers of Jews throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa that he was the long-awaited messiah.

Paul Was Not a Christian is a groundbreaking work that systematically overturns both scholarly and popularly conceptions. As Eisenbaum reveals, Paul is not the true founder of Christianity, nor does Paul understand Jesus Christ as having superseded the Torah and thereby replacing Judaism with Christianity.
