White offers a theoretical and methodological examination of the legacy of the Apostle Paul in which he explores the way Paul was remembered in the century after his death, as well as the discursive practices that accompanied claims about the real Paul in a period in which apostolic memory was highly contested. Publisher Description Who was Paul of Tarsus? Radical visionary of a new age? Gender-liberating progressive? Great defender of orthodoxy? In Remembering Paul, Benjamin L. White offers a critique of early Christian claims about the real Paul in the second century C.E.--a period in which apostolic memory was highly contested--and sets these ancient contests alongside their modern counterpart: attempts to rescue the historical Paul from his canonical entrapments. White chartsthe rise and fall of various narratives about Paul and argues that Christians of the second century had no access to the real Paul. Through the selection, combination, and interpretation of pieces of adiverse earlier layer of the Pauline tradition, Christians defended images of the Apostle that were important for forming collective identity.
