2. The Teaching of Jesus in Paul.

As we have seen, there has been considerable debate about the extent and significance of Paul's use of the teaching of Jesus (see Jesus, Sayings of). There is no dispute about the occasions on which Paul explicitly quotes the words of Jesus (e.g., 1 Cor 7:10; 9:14; 11:23; 1 Thess 4:15—though the origin of this is uncertain). The argument generally focuses on the question whether in other places, where we can detect parallels with the Gospels, Paul is alluding to or echoing the teaching of Jesus (e.g., the cluster of possible allusions in Rom 12—14). Naturally, those who emphasize the gulf between Jesus and Paul minimize the number of plausible allusions; and those who see a close relation between them tend toward a maximalist reading. Of course, within the wider debate the issue is not just the number of occasions on which Paul quotes or alludes to Jesus' teaching. It also concerns the significance which Paul attaches to the teaching of Jesus. Do the words of Jesus carry a special authority? If he does allude to them, why are they so often mixed in with other material and not specifically identified as the words of Jesus? Further, what significance would Paul's christology give to Jesus as a moral teacher?
