I think I've been misunderstood. The Paul I had in mind as available for
questioning is one like Achilles or Agamemnon in the Odyssey -- that is to say,
one totally unaware of events that have transpired after his demise or in his
name. The Paul I have in mind is one who is days away from his death at the
hands of Nero's executioner.  So he would not be able to answer questions #s
3-5 and he would find question #2 far too vague.  I suspect, too, he'd ask
regarding your question # 1 what you meant by "pastoral" things.

Yours,

Jeffrey
