The Apostle : A Life of Paul

The Apostle : A Life of Paul by Pollock, John. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780913367650.

The drama of a novel meets scholarship in leading Christian biographer John Pollocks classic work about one of the most transforming persons in history: the apostle Paul. The Apostle masterfully combines careful adherence to biblical text, detailed research, and a storytellers gift to create a book equally relevant for both casual readers fascinated by Pauls life and serious biblical scholars. Pollock begins his fast-movig narrative with Stephens death and follows Paul through his conversion, missionary journeys, and eventual execution. Many will enjoy it simply as a satisfying and insightful true-life story, although maps and a study guide allow for deeper exploration. The Apostle was originally published in 1969, and this new edition marks the first significant revision in many years.
