The book sets out an original secularized interpretation of the teachings and activities of the Apostle Paul as a figure expressing the desire for truth, which in its universality opposes all kinds of absolutized particularities - social, ethnic, etc. The book gives a clear idea of one of the notable trends of modern French philosophical thoughts and will be of interest not only to specialists - historians, religious scholars and philosophers, but also to the widest humanitarian circles of readers. The book’s text has been translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence system. In most cases, the translation is accurate and clear, but occasionally there may be incorrect phrasing or individual words left untranslated.
