About This Book

A biographical portrait follows an influential early Christian missionary from his boyhood in a provincial Mediterranean city through his religious training, conversion experience, and extensive missionary labors. The narrative recounts study under teachers, tentmaking, journeys across Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome, the founding and pastoral oversight of churches, the writing of letters to congregations, legal trials, imprisonments, and final vindication. Emphasis falls on the subject's moral courage, theological development, and practical methods for spreading and organizing Christian communities, with maps and illustrations used to trace key travels and episodes that shaped his public ministry.
