Statistical Approaches to Paul’s Letters by Paul Robertson

This book demonstrates the utility of statistical and computational approaches to Paul's letters. Such work helps resolve questions of authorship, describes and quantifies aspects of Paul's style, and explains structural relationships within and between Paul's letters. A series of linked case studies deploy a shared set of top-down stylistic features to differentially analyse Paul's seven undisputed letters. Each chapter explores a different digital approach, co-written with a subject expert in this method. Chapters range from a history of the field to theoretical branches of mathematics, with each chapter providing a case study applying a different method to issues within Pauline Studies, with progressively more sophisticated statistical, computational, and mathematical models.
Paul Robertson, Ph.D. (2013, Brown University), is Senior Lecturer in Classics & Humanities and Director of Undergraduate Research at the University of New Hampshire, and Research Associate in the Department of New Testament and Related Literature at the University of Pretoria. His books explore comparing early Christian literature (2016), theorizing inter-religion (2019), selfhood and the Cyclops myth (2022), and the anthropology of belief (2024).
