Abstract

The article addresses the problem of the reception of Paul: how does the construction of the image of Paul in the Deuteropauline letters (Colossians, Ephesians, 2 Thessalonians), the Pastoral letters, the Acts of the Apostles and the apocryphal Acts of Paul relate together? The difficult question of the relationship between Paul in his letters and Paul in Acts is treated first. A typology of the reception of Paul is proposed following three poles: documentary (his letters), biographical (his life) and doctoral (his permanent authority for the Church). The conception that Paul's letters were the only regulation for the memory of Paul in the first century is denied. This three poles typology is applied to some topics of the Pauline tradition: the status of the apostle, the suffering of the apostle, and his teaching. It is possible to observe finally how the writings which honor the memory of the apostle have interpreted these topics by working out a feature present in the writings of the apostle.

Cet article est la Presidential Address que j'ai prononcée lors de la 62e assemblée de la SNTS à Sibiu, le 1er août 2007. Une première version de la thèse que j'expose ici a été présentée à l'Université de Manchester dans le cadre de la Manson Memorial Lecture le 26 octobre 2006. Je remercie les collègues qui, en ces deux occasions, m'ont fourni d'intéressantes suggestions.
