Walter Wangerin Jr.
Saul of Tarsus: Pharisee of Pharisees. Bitter enemy of the newborn church...until a blinding encounter with the risen Christ transformed him into Paul the apostle, ambassador of Jesus of the Gentiles. Master storyteller Walter Wangerin Jr. sweeps you into the life and times of the man who brought Christianity to the world. Here is Paul the person, viewed through the eyes of his contemporaries. His rich interaction and brilliant dialogue with friends and foes, leaders and slaves, Jews and Greeks, creates a drama - swift, intense, historical. Narrated by 10 distinct historical figures, Wangerin paints a multifaceted portrait of the fiery character whose Gospel message sundered cultural trappings to ignite a faith that would light the ages.

"This book combines the very best of Wangerin's skills: biblical knowledge, a sense of drama, unobtrusive scholarship, and the ability to tell a crackling good story." (Philip Yancey)

Would you consider the audio edition of Paul to be better than the print version?
Walter Wangerin Jr. opened up a new thought pattern for me about the Apostle Paul's struggles with the Jews. I learned many new things through this novel. It was enlightening to read and to hear on Audible. I did both. My understanding of the New Testament Jews is now deeper. I will be reading and listening to more of Walter Wangerin Jr.What did you like best about this story?
Paul's journeys and the relationships. Loved getting a deeper understanding of the way the people lived 2000 years ago.Which character – as performed by Walter Wangerin Jr. – was your favorite?
Paul and Barnabus. The characters in "PAUL" are Biblically accurate.Pricilla and Aquilla were also great.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No - every chapter filled me with new information. It does leave one looking forward to the next sitting.Any additional comments?
A great book! I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in Biblical Times.Insightful!

The narration is difficult to get used to at first. But after an hour or two, I became accustomed to it, and I think it even enhanced the book.
The only significant criticism that I can offer is that the book is a little slow at times.
Excellent book!

Although Wangerin tries to give a respectful place to women in sections and occasionally brings St Paul alive (especially the hardships of traveling 1st century Middle East), I think Wangerin is much better when he spins short pithy modern day parables. This novel reminds me of something I downloaded from iTunes called "God in Sandals." If the latter type of literalist narrative appeals to you, then so would this. But if you liked "Last Temptation of Christ" or find Gary Wills', Bart Ehrman's or Elaine Pagels' nonfiction entertaining, avoid this portrait of Paul.
well intended but slow and literalist
