These curated collections, while not being part of the Church of Humans official canon, are recommended as guides to understanding jurisdiction, correct conduct, and keeping the peace with other Christians.
The Coherent Paul
Paul is often treated as Christianity's great problem: the theologian who complicated Jesus, the jurist who overran love with law, or the missionary who universalized a local faith. Read this way, Paul appears inconsistent—sometimes legal, sometimes anti-legal; sometimes severe, sometimes radically free.
This essay argues the opposite. Paul is coherent. His letters form a consistent defense of the gospel once law is read in terms of jurisdiction rather than morality, and freedom is understood as release from illegitimate authority rather than exemption from obligation.
Read this way, Paul does not abolish law, erase Israel, dissolve judgment, or license autonomy. He identifies which claims bind whom, and on what terms. The result is not a new gospel, but a clarification of how the gospel resists capture - by law, by coercion, or by those who would rule in Christ's name.
The Witness of Matthew
The Witness of Matthew compiles red-letter teachings on conduct found uniquely or in distinctive form within the Gospel of Matthew.
The Exhortations of Paul
The Exhortations of Paul gathers those portions of Paul’s letters found most true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy for the instruction and peace of the community. It is compiled in the spirit of fulfilling Paul’s appeal to the Philippians, that believers may hold fast to what is good, and that the faithful may dwell together in reconciliation, humility, and love.
