Four distinguished biblical scholars explore the meaning and significance of New Testament letters that, by wide-spread agreement, give evidence of Paul's influence in the generation that followed him. Paul's students and others in his tradition aimed at preserving his image and his legacy, and, in the process, they also struggled with each other. Different portraits of Paul thereby emerged in the decades after him.
