Zusammenfassung:
'Counting Paul' goes inside the field of computational stylistics and asks whether its methods can solve, as some have claimed, one of the most vexed questions in Biblical Studies: Who wrote the Pauline Epistles? As a first-of-its-kind meta-analysis of the application of forensic stylometry to the Pauline authorship question, this text debunks much of what has passed as a Cartesian foundation for separating out the historical Paul from the canonical Paul and shows that there is no mathematical solution to this basic humanities question. It reorients the question within the milieu of Paul's early reception in Christianity.
