Publisher's Synopsis
From the Introduction.
THIS volume also presents a hero, Paul of Tarsus. About half of the course is devoted to the boyhood of Paul and his environment in one of the busiest portions of the Roman Empire, his Jewish training, and his early life in Tarsus. The latter part treats of his heroic achievements and his great journeys. The pupil's notebook, of which pages follow, presents, when completed, an exceedingly interesting life of Paul with many illustrations and diagrams, and a large working map. The sayings of Paul which most directly present his own views of life and of conduct are frequently presented for memorizing, and such characteristics are emphasized as may be an inspiration to the highest type of life in modern times. The chapter titles follow: Paul's Native City; His Jewish Parents; Paul at School; Paul's Pastimes; The Romans in Tarsus; Synagogue Festivals; Paul Learning His Trade; Leaving Boyhood Behind; The Journey to Jerusalem; The First Sight of the Holy City; A Day in the Temple Courts; The Great Teacher Gamaliel; The Story of Stephen; On the Road to Damascus; Preparing for His Work; The First Journey: General Survey; The Call to Service; Headquarters at Antioch; A Mission to Jerusalem; Through a Neighboring Island; In the Heart of Asia Minor; The Second Journey: General Survey; The Conference at Jerusalem; Paul's Young Friend; Entering a New Continent; Varied Fortunes in Northern Cities; Two Great Centers of Greek Life; Review of the First and Second Journeys; The Third Journey: General Survey; One of Paul's Letters; Old Friends and a New City; Some Farewell Visits; The Last Journeys: General Survey; A Final Visit to Jerusalem; A Prisoner in Caesarea; The Long Voyage to Rome; Paul Imprisoned in Caesar's City; Some of Paul's Last Messages; Final Review.
