With inviting, even dramatic, prose, it recounts the story of the great Apostle to the Nations. This is no dry tome or ponderous biography. Nor is its subject a \"safe\" historical figure, irrelevant to the issues of today: St. Paul remains controversial.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome scholars claim he \"invented\" Christianity. They believe his message radically departed from what Jesus taught. The Christian faith, so the claim runs, is the creation of Paul's religious experience, not the doctrine of Jesus. Callewaert rejects this theory, as do many other scholars. His interpretation rests on the Bible and the abiding tradition of the ages, rather than tendentious theories or ideologically-motivated revisions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYet Callewaert's work is no anti-scholarly screed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe World of Saint Paul \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprovides a popular, yet expert account of the Apostle and his age.

If I have perhaps evoked a little too much history and pursued rather too long a road in regions so rich with a past, I have always made sure to trace a path which brings us back to this intrepid and tenacious Jew who will steadily\u003cbr\u003eappear in stark relief.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eFrom the Preface\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cordero de Dios Catholic bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51879654818078,"sku":"TWOSP","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/7971\/4846\/files\/51TUtrjjS1L._SY445_SX342_FMwebp.webp?v=1779397680","url":"https:\/\/corderodediosbookstore.com\/products\/the-world-of-siant-paul","provider":"Cordero de Dios Catholic bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
