Life of St. Paul

About this book

Born into privilege and highly educated by the most esteemed teacher of his time, Saul of Tarsus became a leading thinker among the Pharisees. His zeal for the "law" was such that he became the foremost persecutor of the new Christian sect, hauling many men, women and children off to prison or worse. After his conversion on the road to Damascus, he would often describe himself as the chief of sinners. Yet no other Apostle worked as hard as he or achieved so much in furthering the spread of the Gospel. - Summary by Ron Altman
