In chapter 12 of Bart Ehrman’s text he talks about the significant the book of Acts is when talking about the Apostle Paul. Ehrman briefly talk about Paul’s Life, and how the events in his life played a major factor in Christianity.

Ehrman utilizes much of the vocabulary or key terms in this chapter. The first terms which stand out to me are “pseudepigrapha” and “Pastoral Epistles”. According to my reading in Chapter 12 pseudepigrapha refers to false writings and commonly referring to ancient non canonical Jewish and Christian literary text, many were written pseudonymously. Pastoral Epistles are letters in the New Testament that Paul allegedly wrote to Timothy and Titus. The second terms that stand out to are “Undisputed Pauline Epistles” and “Deutero-Pauline Epistles”. Undisputed Pauline Epistles are letters from Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and Philemon scholars say had been written by the Apostle Paul. …show more content…

Occasional is referring to the circumstance that Paul wrote his surviving letters only for certain occasions, to deal with problems that came about in the church. Contextual Method studies literary text by determining its social and historical context and then using the context to help explain the text meaning. The terms in chapter 13 that stood out to me are Sociohistorical Method and Three-storied
