The Life of St. Paul

This engaging, highly readable biography of St. Paul is an introduction to his thought and the major events of his life. In short simple chapters, the book covers not only the facts of Paul's life known to us through Scripture, but also the fascinating legends told by the early church about this key figure in the development of Christianity.

Rev. Lawrence Boadt, CSP, is a member of the Paulist Fathers. A well-known scripture scholar, he's professor emeritus of Sacred Scripture at the Washington Theological Union, president and publisher of Paulist Press, and a popular lecturer both here and abroad Linda Schapper is a full-time liturgical artist, quilting church banners and vestments in her impressive folk-art style-as well as the author of many books on textile art
