Overview

He was a persecutor of Christians who became Christianity's greatest missionary. He was beaten, shipwrecked, imprisoned, and left for dead; yet he never stopped proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ. Who was the Apostle Paul, and what can his extraordinary life teach us about faith, resilience, and the transforming power of the Atonement? After spending more than four decades as a university professor and scholar, David A. Rees, PhD, brings Paul's world to vivid life, pulling from the book of Acts, Paul's own epistles, and rich historical context to show how God prepared both a man and a moment to carry the gospel to the Gentiles. The Apostle Paul traces the full arc of Paul's remarkable journey from his foreordained preparation and dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, through his sweeping missionary journeys across the Roman world, to his final imprisonment in Rome. Whether you are a lifelong student of the New Testament or coming to Paul's story for the first time, this book will deepen your understanding of what it means to be a witness of Jesus Christ. Through the events of Paul's life and the way he faced them, you will encounter the Atonement not as doctrine alone, but as a living, transforming power available to every soul who chooses to follow.
