Summary:The Political Paul presents Paul as a political thinker. Many studies claiming Paul for Greek Hellenism discuss the influence upon him of various aspects of Hellenistic culture, but strangely neglect Hellenistic political philosophy with its roots in Classical antiquity.

These researches support the highly original argument that Christianity has foundations in Hellenistic kingship theo.
