Paul the Apostle: The Story of a Remarkable Life

By Siegwart Knijpenga

In the middle of the first century, a new religion appeared in the Middle East whose followers proclaimed the salvation of humanity through the incarnation, death and resurrection of the Son of God. They might have remained in obscurity -- just one of the many religious sects that appeared and disappeared at the time -- were it not for the activities of one remarkable individual

Paul the Apostle is an engaging narrative retelling of the life of Saint Paul. It takes us from his childhood as Saul in his father's tent-making workshop and his persecution of the new Church, to his momentous encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus and his transformation into Paul. The story follows Paul's tireless campaigns throughout the Mediterranean region as he preached the good news and laid the foundations for one of the world's great religions.

Inspired by the religious lessons he gave to young people, Siegwart Knijpenga brings the story of Paul vividly to life in this accessible and fascinating book.
