Paul of Tarsus: scholars may be wrong to say it was chosen from its Latin source

By James David Audlin

Reviewed by Andre Austin

Mr. Audlin dismiss Paul being named after the Latin Paul meaning short/tiny. Some say it was called Tiny because he was from the tribe of Benjamin that was the smallest tribe. Others like Joe Atwill say it’s a joke about Paul being castrated.

Audlin thinks the original script came from Aramic of Pauli-meaning Deceiver or Flatter. Audlin may have a point. When I read the letter of Jude, which is an innuendo attack upon Paul it states:

“They boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage” Jude 16

Paul may have directly or indirectly responded to this by admitting that he boast a little but he doesn’t allow people to take advantage of him (see 2 Cor 11:16-21)
