With the narrative skill and superb sense of place and time for which he is famous, Ernle Bradford brings to life the man we know as Saint Paul - the thirteenth apostle and great Christian missionary of the first century. Born into the Jewish aristocracy of Asia Minor - he was the son of a Pharisee - it was inevitable that he should travel to Jerusalem to study in the Temple; perhaps it was also inevitable that he should have been part of the enraged crowd that stoned to death the first Christian martyr, Stephen. Bradford portrays Paul as a proud and opinionated man, and it took a miracle on the road to Damascus to convince him that his true master was the crucified Galilean whom men called Jesus." 246 pages, indexed. The jacket back has a vertical line of tiny indents. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
