Riassunto

Leaving no stone unturned, this authoritative book offers fresh perspectives on the life, times, and zealous ministry of St. Paul. Historian and professor Rev. Waldemar Chrostowski provides the chronology of the luminary apostleâ (TM)s life in fascinating detail, from his transformation at Damascus to his numerous escapes from mortal danger that rivaled those of an action-film hero. But these stories of persecutions, trials, sentencings, tumultuous missionary journeys, and encounters with remarkable people are all true. In these expansive pages, you will experience the heart-pounding events of St. Paulâ (TM)s life as never before, while noting his growth in spiritual maturity all along the way.

Drawing from his extensive historical, theological, and archaeological research, Chrostowski reveals compelling information on:

• St. Paulâ (TM)s youth and the historical, cultural, and geographical context of his times
• The motifs in Paulâ (TM)s teachings and in the Acts of the Apostles in light of contemporaneous societal customs and religious traditions
• Three aspects of St. Paulâ (TM)s â oemission statement, â � and anointed methods he used to evangelize
• The relationship between Christians and Jews of St. Paulâ (TM)s time and today
• St. Paulâ (TM)s letters, associates, and apostolic journeys, and why an evangelist painted him as â oea Christian Senecaâ �
• Paulâ (TM)s real belief regarding the controversy on whether the law is necessary for salvation, including his six proofs

The genius of St. Paul is revealed throughout this unparalleled work, whether in his miracles, the groundwork he laid for the early Church, the way he encouraged his spiritual children toward deeper trust in God, or his explanations of the mysteries of Christologyâ "including the Eucharist and the Resurrectionâ "and the Final Things. Through this deep dive into his humanity and sanctity, you will discover anew the indomitable St. Paul and his heroic life as an apostle of the Lord.
