The Acts of Paul: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary is unavailable, but you can change that!

This is the most complete translation of the Acts of Paul in English, together with a detailed commentary. The orientation is primarily literary, with detailed attention to the history of composition and revision. Unlike many studies, this commentary does not focus upon the story of Thecla.

Thecla said to Paul: “I shall cut off my hair and follow you wherever you go.” He replied, “The times are so ugly and you are so pretty. Another trial, worse than the first, may overtake you, a trial that you will not be able to withstand but be conquered by fear.” “Just give me the seal in Christ,” she countered, “and no adversity will touch me.” “Be patient, Thecla. You will receive the water.” 26. Paul sent the Onesiphorus family back to Iconium. Chapter 4 4.1–2 Thecla Confronts Alexander 1 (26b).
