Review: Confusion about Paul put to rest - This book answered questions and helped me discover a great respect for this man and his wisdom and dedication to his belief in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It was a very fascinating and well written, researched study of a man deserving of it.
Review: Thorough Retelling of the Life of St. Paul - Excellent retelling of the life and work of St.Paul. Peppered with scriptural quotes, accurate in detail, and deeply researched, this book grabs the reader's attention. Not a quick read, rather it's a book to be savored. This reader found the detail painted images of the landscape and times. It brought to mind my own fond memories of my trip to the Holy Land and to Rome -- like a chat with an old friend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Biography for Believers
*by D***H on September 22, 2012*

Perhaps no figure in Western history has been as controversial as the Apostle Paul, a man who, through his own mighty personal transformation, transformed the course of that history. Virtually every major historian, philosopher, and theologian has weighed in with an opinion on his tempestuous and profoundly dedicated life, and in a biography aimed at the general reading public rather than the scholar, John Pollock has written a life of Paul that, although carefully researched, moves and fascinates at the pace of a fine historical novel. Mr. Pollock carefully examines the arguments of the modern anti-Christian bias -- he writes as a believer, although a non-believer can be comfortable with this book -- and emerges with a triumphant Paul. Flawed, brilliant, scholarly, and eloquent -- possessed of "...an unbreakable love for the Jewish people," his Apostle endures cold, hunger and thirst; derision, flogging, shipwreck, abject loneliness and the periodic depression dictated by his nature, and holds fast to his mission with a prodigious energy and the vision of a fulfilled Messianic Judaism that endures for his long lifetime. Pollock evokes the cosmopolitan cities of the ancient world -- Tarsus, Antioch, Corinth, Ephesus, Athens, and Rome -- with their rich stew of races, ethnicities, cults, and religions, with a clarity, simplicity, and wealth of detail which alone make the book worth reading. He memorably conjures the Holy of Holies, Jerusalem, as it existed under Roman rule. One learns much of Roman and Jewish Law, as well as the workaday lives of the people of the ancient world. But it is the towering and undaunted (though often tormented) figure of Paul, "...his motives, aims and priorities...his attitude toward his mistakes when he recognized them... and what he was willing to die for..." that dominates the book. All readers of Paul's epistles will have favorite chapters in this book; for some it will be his speech to the mocking Athenians on the Areopagus; for others, the famous Second Corinthians; and for still others, the dramatic opening chapters which relate the martyrdom of his rival St. Stephen through the machinations of Paul and his faction; the self-inflicted psychic wound that eventually brought about Paul's spiritual metamorphosis, and which haunted him all his life. Those who have never read Paul will receive an education in the life of one of Christianity's greatest formative figures. For all readers, it will be a glimpse at a man whose presence in the ancient world which produced him was as radical and astonishing as the appearance of a mighty saint would be in the not-so-different, self-absorbed, and faulty world of today.
