Abstract
The Dirac propagator ${(\ensuremath{\gamma}p\ensuremath{-}m)}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ has been calculated as a path integral over a recently proposed classical action. Thus a new formulation is given to the longstanding problem of extending the path integration to discrete quantum spin as an integral over a continuous variable.
