Well,, now Paul was called to be the apostle to the Gentiles (Christians). He was not the author of Christianity.
But, yes, his theology should be dominant. And it is in many conservative non-Catholic churches.
However, Jesus is the central theme in Christianity. The gospels play a big part in the foundation of our belief. It is difficult for many to divide the message properly.

Paul is not the author of Christianity. Go back to square one and start over.

Who told you Paul was the author of Christianity? Christian is a term that was given by the church at Antioch----to people who followed the teachings of Christ. This was BEFORE Saul (now called Paul) of Tarsus was converted to Christianity. So how can PAUL be the author of Christianity?
Paul was Holy Spirit inspired to write what he wrote but it was not his theology he wrote. Just wanted to clarify it.
Just my opinion---because I know about Paul's writings.

Paul is not the author of Christianity. There is no "author of Christianity". God has produced Jesus who is the Christ and the followers of Christ are called Christians, and their set of beliefs are typically called Christianity.

Tearing down straw men, are we?
Sorry, but you'll have to do better than THAT - this looks like all you have left is grasping for straws! Not even enough to make a straw man!
Paul was taught by Jesus after his conversion experience while on the road to Damascus to throw Christians into prison, at which time he was blinded by the light of Jesus Christ.
If you would READ the Bible, you wouldn't make such an embarrasement of yourself!

He isn't he author of Christianity. He did, however, write a large portion of the Bible. God is the author of Christianity. Jesus Christ is the Christ of God. The Gospel News is 'Salvation comes only through Jesus, the Christ."

Paul was a pervert.
Moreover, he took Jesus' religion and watered it down so it would be intelligible to gentiles, and took it to the gentiles; and, yes, Paul's twisted theology is dominant. You got a problem with that?
