Publisher's Synopsis
There is perhaps no man with so lionized an influence, and yet so vast a mischaracterization, as Saint Paul. Formerly Sha'ul of Tarsus, this learned man of the Pharisees becomes one of the greatest followers of Jesus, and one of the foundational pillars on which every church is built. He is the author of the majority of Epistles in the New Testament, and as such, his mark on the Bible, and on history, is permanent. As the New Testament flows out of the Old, so too does St Paul, whose illustrious writings seamlessly weave the history of the Hebrews with the hope of the conquest of Death by the Son of God. Why, then, do so many millions of people misquote him, and millions more accuse him of inventing a new religion? This book is concerned with shedding light on the fabled, but also elusive, and misunderstood apostle of Christ.
