Abstract:
The interpretation of the spoons as baptismal presents is upheld against Kaske (see 68/239). It seems likely that Saul the Jew had acquired the name Paulus at birth among his tria nomina as a Roman citizen, but only began to use it on starting his missionary trips around the Empire. The legend that the Saul-to-Paul change was made at his conversion grew up relatively late, but became well entrenched in the Early Christian church. The Sutton Hoo spoons would have formed particularly appropriate christening presents. King Redwald's dates fit current theories on the burial, and his career and character have many similarities with Paul's. See also 72/1675, 1738.
