This book is a controversial new biography of the apostle Paul that
argues for his inclusion in the pantheon of key figures of
classical antiquity, along with the likes of Socrates, Alexander
the Great, Cleopatra and Augustus. It first provides a critical
reassessment of the apostle's life in its historical context that
focuses on Paul's discourse of authority, which was both
representative of its Roman context and provocative to his rivals
within Roman society. It then considers the legend that developed
around Paul as the history of his life was elaborated and
embellished by later interpreters, creating legends that
characterized the apostle variously as a model citizen, an imperial
hero, a sexual role model, an object of derision and someone to
quote from. It is precisely this rewriting of Paul's history into
legend that makes the apostle a key transformative figure of
classical antiquity.
