Apart from Christ, the Apostle Paul is perhaps the most dominant figure in the New Testament. With meticulous attention to detail, Robin Griffith-Jones has produced a scholarly work on his eventful life that reads like a summer beach novel. Entertaining and enlightening, The Gospel According to Paul sheds important light on the man and his times.

Yet while he preached of love and responsibility and founded churches throughout the Roman empire, he found himself reviled.

The fascinating paradoxes of this remarkable leader are brought to life in this exploration of the early days of the Christian church.
