In this comprehensive biography of the apostle Paul, biblical scholar and bestselling author N.T. Wright highlights the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theology - transforming a faith and changing the world.

For centuries, Paul, the apostle who "saw the light on the Road to Damascus," and was converted from a zealous Pharisee persecutor to a devoted follower of Christ, has been one of the most frequently remembered saints of the Church. Although his influence on Christianity is profound, Wright argues that biblical scholars and spiritual shepherds have primarily focused on his letters and theology, overlooking the essence of his life and his incredible work.

According to Wright, "the problem is that Paul plays a key role in understanding early Christianity, even though he was Jewish. For many generations, many Christians could not reconcile with this." Our knowledge of Paul and our appreciation of his legacy cannot be complete without understanding his Jewish background. By analyzing the entire drama of Paul's human and spiritual dimension, Wright delves into the writings of the apostle, his thoughts and ideas, and helps us see them in a new and innovative way.
