Paul

A Novel

By: Walter Wangerin Jr.

Narrated by: Walter C. Kaiser Jr., Walter Wangerin Jr

Bitter enemy of the newborn church . . . until a blinding encounter with the risen Christ transformed him into Paul the apostle, ambassador of Jesus to 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 ten 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.

Down to earth fiction makes the Spirit soar!

If you know scripture, you will really appreciate the way this man folds scripture into a fictional but real world framework. The voice/reading is perhaps a little better than the "Book of God." Enjoy!

Great Book!

The book was well read, I almost felt I was back in time experiencing Paul's journeys, trials and tribulations

Insightful!

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.

An imagination inspired by God's love

A remarkable experience. I am a Christian and I am very happy to have found this novel. Letting a little fresh air into the dank world of theological reflection and Bible studies. Heretical but done with style and a good heart and an imagination inspired by love.

A wonderful book

This amazing story brings the characters of Paul, Timothy, Titus, Pricilla and many more vividly to life. I listened many times over.
