Product Description
There have been many previous biographies of this elusive but vitally important Christian but none have so clearly emphasised the relevance of his experiences of conversion, strength of belief and faith to the contemporary political and social climate in such a fundamental way. The reader is taken in St Paul's footsteps from his birth in Tarsus in the first decade of the first century AD to his martyrdom in Rome more then 60 years later. Stourton's detailed research and lively, enthusiastic writing style provide insights into the experiences, education and background which helped shape this most pragmatic and inspirational of biblical figures. St Paul is developed from a shadowy New Testament figure to a truly flesh and blood personality.

Review
' . . . a fine and measured biography of [Saint Paul] that will do much to explain and even endear him to a new generation of culturally anti-Christian readers.' (The Sunday Times )

A really interesting overview of St.Paul
After reading 'In the Footsteps of St. Paul by Edward Stourton'. I really get an impression that Mr.Stourton likes Paul. Even if at times he tries not too!
A super book to read. Full of insight, which brings Paul to life.

In the Footsteps of St. Paul
This is an excellent companion to reading the works of St Paul. It is very readable and offers fresh insights. Well worth the money. It was recommended to me by a serious Scripture student who had read it from cover to cover.
