General Description:

APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES

"We just found out there's a plot to kill you!" blurted out one man among the little group of Christians as they stumbled into the house of Saul (who later would become known as Paul).

"The murderers have been hired, and the Damascus authorities have agreed to look the other way," put in another breathlessly.

For a moment there was silence from Saul. "Well, what are you going to do?" whispered the visitors fearfully.

Saul thought joyfully of how St. Stephen had been martyred for Christ. But he knew that was not God's will for him just yet.

"I'll leave Damascus and escape to Jerusalem," he answered. "I'll go after dark. Will you help me?"

"But the watchmen will never let you pass the city gates. They've all been bribed by your enemies!"

"We'll bypass the city gates," answered Saul calmly. "Just let me explain. .. "

What did Saul have in mind? Would it be dangerous? And would it work?

This book tells what happened. It also describes how Paul won victories over the devil, how he was mistaken for a god, and how he faced court trials, scourging, imprisonment, angry mobs and, finally, martyrdom for Christ. In short, this is the story of the many adventures in the life of the great Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles.

Profile
    Saul was a Jewish Talmudic student. Pharisee. Tent-maker by trade. Saul the Jew hated and persecuted Christians as heretical, even assisting at the stoning of Saint Stephen the Martyr. On his way to Damascus to arrest another group of them, he was knocked off his horse and to the ground, struck blind by a heavenly light, and given the message that in persecuting Christians, he was persecuting Christ. The experience had a profound spiritual effect on him, causing his conversion to Christianity. He was baptized, changed his name to Paul to reflect his new persona, and began travelling, preaacing and writing. Author of much of the New Testament of the Sacred Scriptures. He was martyred in Rome.
