De què tracta
El llibre del 1823 en què Bentham sosté que sant Pau va inventar una religio diferent de la de Jesus i la hi va sobreposar, publicat sota el pseudonim de Gamaliel Smith.
Context i història
Bentham va aplicar aqui el mateix metode que als seus escrits juridics: llegir el text de prop, comparar declaracions i buscar contradiccions. Sosté que les tres versions de la conversio de Pau als Fets no concorden, que Pau no va coneixer Jesus i que la moral asceta que va introduir —sobretot en materia sexual— no te fonament als evangelis. El pseudonim no era capritx: publicar aixo amb el seu nom, a l'Anglaterra de 1823, era un risc real, i el llibre va ser ignorat o atacat. Va deixar inedita una tercera part encara mes explicita. Convé llegir-lo sabent que es un pamflet polemic i que la filologia biblica del segle XX ha refet moltes d'aquestes questions amb altres eines.

And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord even Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized; and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God. And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havock of them which called on his name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests. But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ. _II. Paul's Account._ As per Acts xxii. 12-16. xxii. 12. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there, came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him. And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth. For thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.
