Title: Pseudo scholarship
Product review: An engaging prose masks a serious lack of bona fide scholarship. The author glibly asserts as facts numerous details that are not amenable to verification ... and often in conflict with generally accepted scholarly postions. Similarly, unsubstantiated assumptions are made about influences in Paul's development, motivational factors behind Paul's actions, etc. The book reads like a novel; unfortunately, it claims to be a biography. As scholarship, it is pure whimsy.
