Episode notes
Apostles Are The Sent Ones
- The Greek word apostolos means "sent one" and translates Hebrew shaliach, meaning the same.
- Only those personally sent by Yeshua during his 40 days after resurrection qualify as apostles in the strict sense.
Paul's Unique Apostleship
- Paul is an exception to the apostolic rule, not a typical apostle.
- He became an apostle through a post-resurrection vision, which he himself acknowledges as unusual.
Paul-Centric View Limits Apostolic History
- The canonical Acts focuses on Paul, overshadowing other apostles' works.
- Much apostolic history is missing due to linguistic and historical losses, especially regarding Jewish apostles’ writings.
