The apostle Paul was a contemporary of Jesus but not his disciple, so what did he know about Jesus? In this episode, Tom and John probe Paul's epistles to see what he knew about the historical Jesus. Along the way, they raise the question whether Paul may have known Q', or events in Jesus' ministry such as the empty tomb and virgin birth. They also consider what teachings Paul knew, and whether allusions to Jesus' teaching provide further evidence of the transmission of Jesus tradition.
