"Except for the Lord Himself, no single figure has done more for
the Christian faith." If you want to understand Christianity, you
need to understand Paul. But with so many books on the apostle, where do
you start? Paul the Apostle is the ideal choice if you want a solid
understanding of Paul's life, ministry, and writings without getting
weighed down with minutia. Author Robert E. Picirilli, who taught
college courses on Paul for over twenty-five years, found that most books
on the apostle were either too technical or too basic, so he wrote a
book that strikes a happy medium. It offers: A profile of Paul in his
historical and cultural context, Outlines and explanations of his
missionary journeys, Introductions and brief analyses of each of his
epistles- Useful for individual study or as a textbook (as it is in many
universities today), Paul the Apostle is a great one stop study of the
man who wrote half the New Testament, spread the gospel to the heart of
the known world, and gave his life for the Kingdom.
