‘’The editor and authors of this volume are to be congratulated on assembling a collection of essays that will serve as an indispensable resource for students and scholars working on the history of Pauline interpretation’’.

"Un guide extrêmement utile pour suivre et comprendre l’influence de saint Paul dans l’Antiquité tardive et au Moyen Âge, entre l’époque patristique et la scolastique tardive. Loin de se limiter à la théologie et à l’exégèse scripturaire, l’enquête a été élargie à des domaines divers, tels que la spiritualité, l’histoire de l’art, l’iconographie, la littérature et la prédication ..... le volume édité par Cartwright constitue un instrument scientifiquement solide, qui permettra non seulement d’avoir un regard d’ensemble sur la figure de saint Paul au Moyen Âge, mais aussi d’engager de nouvelles recherches".
