Paul of Tarsus: A Visionary Life

Format Hardcover

Publisher Paulist Press

Category Paul

Paul of Tarsus is widely regarded as the founder of organized Christianity. Edward Stourton's fascinating exploration of this historical figure and the land in which he lived involves both a first-hand account of the author's journey following in St. Paul's footsteps as well as reflections on Paul's life and his religious and political legacy. Difficult as it is to get behind the interpretations and embellishments to find the real man, it is clear that Paul's overwhelming influence lives on. He is responsible for some of the biggest controversies within Christianity, as well as between Christianity and Islam, and Christianity and Judaism. Stourton's detailed research and lively, enthusiastic writing style provide insights into the experiences, education, and background which helped to shape this most pragmatic and inspirational of biblical figures. The author develops St. Paul from a shadowy figure in the New Testament to a truly flesh and blood personality, and shows him to be as influential in shaping the cultural and political climate of our times as Jesus himself.
