When the Epistle to the Galatians is examined, like the other Epistles, it is quickly realized that it is void of a single historical marker, that is, it is not known when any of the supposed events concerning Paul supposedly happened even if all the other Epistles were read.

Or a forger.
In the 4th century the so-called Pauline writer was bolted into history as a result of the Nicene church industry publishing the letter exchange with Seneca as a preface to the writings of Seneca. Until the 15th century the historicity of Paul was authoritatively supported by the "closet Christian" Seneca. A source supposedly external and totally "independent" of the church industry.
Is Paul a transcendental figure?
