In this response I discuss some of the key remarks and suggestions in the foregoing reviews of Paul and the Person. These include questions of methodology in interdisciplinary engagements between science and theology, the tension and connection between cosmology and the structure of the self, imitation and transformation, ontological change, the continuity and discontinuity of the self, sin and the self, and personhood as gifted and sustained by divine love.
