Corpus-Paul

[Zeba Crook <zeba.crook AT utoronto.ca>]

One problem you may run into with this "challenge" (as if those of us at 
academic
institutions don't already have enough challenges) is the availability of 
this book in
libraries.  I am at the University of Toronto, which boasts the third largest 
library
holdings in North America, with 7 federated theological schools, each with 
libraries,
and this book is not here.  This fact, furthermore, might also suggest that 
this book
is hardly worth the time of any academic on this list.  Obviously you found 
it moving,
and there are some "reviewers" at Amazon.com who would agree with you, but 
I'd venture
a guess that none of the fans of this conflation of Acts with Galatians (and 
probably
with no attempt to account for the secondary nature of Acts) have liked the 
book for
any other reason than that it was emotionally pleasing to them as Christians.
