A reference to a lost work from Laodicea by this author inspired a text in the Codex Fuldensis that is claimed to be a forgery in the Muratorian fragment. In one work, this author referenced an assertion to avoid fornicators from a text in the same series as his “letter of tears.” Scholars disagree whether this author or Priscilla and Aquila, two of his traveling companions, wrote one of his works. Some scholars assert that this author’s command for women to be (*) silent in church was not meant to be generalized. Though often collected with his other works, his authorship of a text that describes faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” is disputed. This man authored a set of texts typically placed between the Book of Acts and the general epistles. For 10 points, name this author who wrote Colossians after being blinded on the road to Damascus. ■END■
