Pauline Malta – The Formation of a Nation’s Identity

Pauline Malta – The Formation of a Nation’s Identity

This book documents and analyses how, over the past two millennia, various phenomena -both Pagan and Christian origin -in Malta were blended into a unique Pauline Cult, while at the same time developing into a shaping force of genuine Maltese identity. On a more global level, all the different facts, traditions, pretensions, and claims centred around the shipwreck and miracles of St Paul on the island of Melita became part of a Mediterranean Christian identity.
