In this definitive biography, renowned Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author N. T. Wright offers a radical look at the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theologytransforming a faith and changing the world.For centuries, Paul, the apostle who "e;saw the light on the Road to Damascus"e; and made a miraculous conversion from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Christ, has been one of the churchs most widely cited saints.
