Download or read book The Legend and the Apostle written by Dennis Ronald MacDonald and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Paul--antifeminist conformist, or social radical? Combining New Testament studies with folkloristic methods to search for the true identity of Paul, the author sheds new light on the apocryphal Acts of Paul and the Pastoral Epistles of the canonical New Testament. With this book, the legends surrounding the apostle have been rescued from near oblivion and properly placed in the Pauline tradition. Formulated in the days of early Christianity and handed down through the centuries, they cast new light on Paul's views about the ordination of women, the forms of Christian community, and the meaning of the gospel for politics, society, and sexuality.
