Description: "Remembering Paul is a historiographical critique of discourses on the "real" Paul, ancient and modern. Theories of social remembering are applied for the first time to contests over Paul in the second century C.E. and to their modern counterpart: the attempt to rescue the "historical" Paul from his "canonical" entrapments"--
