"Pauline Malta - The Formation of a Nation's Identity" documents and analyses how, over the past two millennia, various phenomena - of 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 bacame part of a Mediterranean Christian identity.
