PAUL: A NOVEL Walter Wangerin First Edition
A first UK edition, first print hardback copy of PAUL: A NOVEL, by Walter Wangerin (author of Book of God) and published by Lion Publishing plc in 2000.The book is in near fine condition (clean red boards with bright gold lettering to spine) with only minor wear to the dust jacket, which is not price clipped (light rubbing/creasing to edges, slight bumping to corners). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions.
In this spellbinding novel, Paul, an apostle to the early Christian church, is portrayed as a compelling character who could be at once charming, obstinate, rash, proud and charismatic. His story is told through those who loved him most, and those who were most challenged by him.Here is Priscilla, the Christian Jew from Rome who meets Paul when she and her husband are exiled to Corinth; here are his companions Barnabas, Timothy and Titus; and here too is James, the leader of the Jerusalem Christians, whose deep love of the Jewish roots of faith in Jesus Christ caused so much dispute with Paul. And counterpointing these voices are letters from Seneca, the great Roman writer, statesman and advisor to the Emperor Nero.This rich medley of voices vibrantly recreates the complex character whose passionate commitment to spreading the gospel of Christ inspired devotion and exasperation in equal measure, and the first-century world upon which he made such a powerful impact.Wangerin's superbly crafted prose is imbued with not only a profound and personal understanding of the message Paul was proclaiming, but also a deep knowledge of the Roman world in all its richness and complexity.445 pages, including BibliographyISBN: 0 7459 3927 9
