What is The making of Paul : constructions of the Apostle in early Christianity about?

xv, 376 p. : 23 cm "The influence of the Apostle Paul in early Christianity goes far beyond the reach of the seven genuine letters he wrote to early assemblies. Paul was revered--and fiercely opposed--in an even larger number of letters penned in his name, and in narratives told about him and against him, that were included in our New Testament and, far more often, treasured and circulated outside it. Richard Pervo provides an illuminating and comprehensive survey of the legacy of Paul and the various ways he was remembered, honored, and vilified in the early churches. Numerous charts and maps introduce the student to the 'family' of Pauline and anti-Pauline Christianities"--Publisher description Includes bibliographical references and indexes Paul becomes a book -- The pseudepigraphic Pauline letters -- Paul and the epistolary tradition in early Christianity -- Paul in narrative -- Other representatives of anti-Paulinism -- Paul as an object of interpretation: Marcion to Irenaeus
