The Religion of Paul the Apostle (2000) is a book by John Ashton.
Abstract
"Paul the Apostle has traditionally been viewed as a thinker and theologian, and scholars have focused almost exclusively on his ideas rather than on his religious experience. In this book, a leading New Testament scholar challenges this view of Paul. John Ashton demonstrates how closely Paul's own career resembles that of a typical shaman, and he shows how every important aspects of Paul's life and ministry may be illuminated by focusing on his experience."--Publisher description.
