The Christ of Paul; Or, The Enigmas of Christianity

In the bustling streets of Jerusalem, A.D. 34, a fierce clash erupts as the early followers of Christ face violent opposition. Amid the turmoil, a young, angry zealot—later known as Paul—drives a wave of persecution that culminates in the martyrdom of Stephen. A blinding encounter on the road to Damascus abruptly halts his rampage, leaving him stunned and convinced that the very God he had hunted now commands his service.

Retreating to the desert of Arabia, Paul spends months in solitary prayer, wrestling with the dazzling vision that has reshaped his identity. He emerges with a fierce conviction that the divine message he heard is the only true path, and he begins to view the world through a stark doctrine of election and salvation. His newfound fervor propels him into relentless travel, preaching with a voice that claims to speak not for himself but for the Christ who struck him down.
