The life of Saint Paul differs in many respects from any previous biography of the great apostle of the Gentiles. The author's exceptional knowledge of the period and of contemporary Jewish thought has enabled him to bring out aspects of his subject which are entirely novel and at times startling. The background is skillfully portrayed but only to throw the central figure into higher relief. Paul's strange personality, his genius, and the tragedy as well as the glory of his life receive new emphasis and illumination. The author has initiated entirely fresh researches and he has translated from the Greek the salient passages from Paul's writings.
