Well as Andrew pointed out, Philo of Alexandria formed a good majority of thought. However, I think he was primarily using Plato. But then that exacerbates the problem because Philo's philosophy was relatively unknown until it was promoted by Clement of Alexandria at the beginning of the third century CE. But then again there is no mention of all four gospels until 190 CE either.

We will never know how much damage and excising was performed on the Pauline works by the later church. There are too many times Paul doesn't make sense or there is a discontinuity of thought.

But on the other hand it seems Paul could well have been an epileptic. His halucinations, religious fervor and talking to god, his lifetime fragility, and the discontinuity of this thoughts go well in hand with the symptoms of epileptics.
