Paul’s Depen­den­cy on Tal­mu­dic Writ­ings : Evi­dence of New Tes­ta­ment Borrowing

While Chris­tians would pre­fer to allude to the notion that Paul, the self-acclaimed ​“apos­tle” of Jesus, was ​“inspired” when he wrote his epis­tles, the evi­dences we have researched states oth­er­wise. We have seen how Paul had cit­ed a verse from the ​“apoc­ryphal books of Eli­jah” but claimed that he was cit­ing from the book of Isa­iah. Appa­rant­ly this cit­ing of quo­ta­tions from apoc­ryphal or Rab­binic writ­ings was not alien to Paul, for in the epis­tles of Paul, there are abun­dant signs that he was extreme­ly famil­iar with Rab­ban­ic mate­r­i­al and con­stant­ly refers to them. This is not sur­pris­ing since Paul him­self had admit­ted to famil­iar­i­ty with Jew­ish tra­di­tions under the tute­lage of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3).

Did al-Zuṭṭ Ride Muham­mad ? A Crit­i­cal Philo­log­i­cal Reassess­ment of a Mod­ern Anti-Islam Polemic

Polem­i­cal Rebuttals Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
This study dis­man­tles the al-zuṭṭ hadith polemic through close read­ing, lex­i­cog­ra­phy, and nar­ra­tive con­trol. By restor­ing con­text to yark­abūn, exam­in­ing trans­mis­sion vari­ants, and com­par­ing Semit­ic par­al­lels, it shows how innu­en­do trans­la­tion exploits pol­y­se­my, sup­press­es clo­sure, and man­u­fac­tures scan­dal with­out his­tor­i­cal war­rant with­in dis­ci­plined philol­o­gy and sober method­olog­i­cal lim­its alone here

State of Flux : Con­test­ed Doc­trines in Ear­ly Christianity
