Even after centuries, and generations of critical scholarship, an authentic book of Paul's letters lacks consensus. The Authentic Paul traces the efforts of scholars, from antiquity to the modern period, who endeavoured to make an authoritative book of Paul's letters free from textual variation and forgery. Engaging recent trends in the study of religion and book history, it challenges one of philologists' fundamental assumptions: that authenticity is an inherent property of literature that can be recovered or destroyed.
