Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paul based his authority and the validity of his gospel on his private revelation of the postresurrection Jesus. This is evident from his letters where he repeatedly emphasizes that he was called by Jesus and received his gospel by revelation (Galatians 1:11-12, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8). His authority was not derived from his standing in the Sanhedrin or his position in the Jerusalem church, nor was it based on his adherence to the commands of the Torah.
