Stourton is also informed by some of the basic historical information about the study of the apostle, such as the question of whether or not Paul wrote many of the letters attributed to him, and the historical unreliability of Acts.

 London School of Theology - In the Footsteps of Saint Paul
Stourton writes from a Roman Catholic background which he deems to have somewhat suppressed Paul's witness in favour of the Petrine tradition with its less radical bent and its apparently more direct access to the historical Jesus.
Stourton's main position is that of "critical orthodoxy" (only seven reliably authentic letters, questionable value of Acts as history etc).
What Edward Stourton does provide us with is a fast moving, appreciative and affectionate portrait of one who in some quarters today is despised and feared, or else paid the courtesy of faint praise and neglect.

In the first two chapters, Stourton nicely conveys the sense of freshness and possibility that marked the opening of the Vatican Council in juxtaposition to the 1950s that preceded it.
Stourton attempts to negotiate the thorny problem of what is “revolutionary” and what is “reactionary” by embedding them in the complex person of the pope; he might do better by seeing them within an overall post-modern, post-hegemonic world order.
Stourton characterizes Paul VI as a “Hamlet” figure, a man paralyzed by introspection, second thoughts and self-doubt.

 Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
Stourton returned to England in the same year and there continued for a while his ineffectual efforts to stir up the Privy Council and other authorities against the “Popish Colony” at Ferryland.
While Calvert calls him “an audacious man, a narrow-minded sectary, and a troublesome meddlesome busy-body” and M. Howley, an eminent historian, later refers to him as “an aggressive Protestant, unbearable, and most likely seditious,” it could be that, under the existing circumstances, such epithets were greatly exaggerated, by reason of enmity or prejudice.
What might be said on Stourton’s behalf, with some degree of justification, is that he fulfilled his work as missionary to those early colonists and settlers with some distinction and to the satisfaction of the hierarchy of his church in England.

This at last became a subject of Star Chamber inquiry, and Lord Stourton was fined in a certain sum to be paid to the Hartgills, and imprisoned in the Fleet, whence he obtained licence, upon some pretence, to retire to his house in the country, and took an oppoortunity to murder both the Hartgills.
Lord Stourton was accordingly executed on the 6 Mar, in the market place at Salisbury, and his four men in the country near the place where the murder was committed; and previous to his death he made great lamentation for his wilful and impious deeds.

He was probably the son of Edward Hatton, yeoman, of Great Crosby, Lancashire, who registered his estate as a Catholic non-juror in 1717, and whose family appears in the recusant rolls for many generations.
Shortly afterwards he was compelled to remove the mission to Stourton Lodge, where ultimately he succeeded in having a new chapel erected (1776), but a few miles distant from the of his former labours.
Twice was Father Hatton appointed to the office of provincial of his order in England: on 21 May, 1754—until the year 1758; his second term of office lasted from 7 May, 1770, till 1774.
