General Description:

A great read for the Pauline Year, commemorating the 2000th anniversary of the birth of the Apostle, proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI. The Pauline Year is from June 29, 2008 to June 29, 2009.

Immerse yourself in the person of the Apostle Paul -- heroic in his martyr's death--but so recognizably human in his conversion story and subsequent letters to the faithful. Gain fresh insights into your own personal growth potential through the Scripture of St. Paul:

What does Paul's conversion have to teach me about how power is perfected through my weaknesses?
How does his experience as an apostle of Christ teach me about responding to my own vocation in life?
How might I apply St. Paul's bold and creative approach to challenging today's cultural and social status quo?
In what ways might I imitate his care and concern for the world?

Whether you use this guide for personal study, interactive journaling, or study with a group, you will find its format concise and easy to follow. Self-assessment charts invite you to test your knowledge of biblical passages, helping you retain what you learn.

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.
