From Tarsus to the edges of the early church, a pivotal portrait of Paul emerges—one that reshaped the Christian world. This volume traces how the Apostle’s work, thinking, and conflicts helped form the spread of Christianity beyond Jerusalem. It offers a grounded look at the social and cultural forces that shaped his mission, the communities he helped build, and the debates that tested the earliest followers of Jesus.
The narrative weaves together Paul’s background in a bustling Cilician city, his method of forming churches, and the tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers. It also surveys the growth of Christian communities in Syria, Cilicia, Cyprus, and Asia, and how these settings influenced his preaching and outreach. The text weighs competing sources and historical context to illuminate the man behind the letters and the moves that defined the early church.
