Describing the environment into which Saul was born, his education, his conversion before Damascus and his subsequent journeys, Bock's study gives a spiritual dimension to Paul's background, providing a deeper understanding of this great Christian figure and his teaching. Above all he shows that Paul was the apostle who carried Christianity beyond the Jewish communities to humanity at large. As a zealous Jew, Paul was convinced he was serving the coming Messiah in his persecution of the followers of Jesus. When the light suddenly came to him before Damascus, his innermost being was opened. Paul shows that the time of the Law of Moses had run its course and conscience as 'inner jurisdiction' was now to replace the rules and laws imposed from without. About the Author: Emil Bock was born in Wuppertal, Germany in 1895, and studied German and theology, receiving his licentiate in 1921. From 1938 until his death in 1959, he was the head of The Christian Community movement. Additional Information: Also available by Emil Bock: * The Rhythm of the Christian Year * Genesis * Kings and Prophets * Three Years * The Apocalypse of St John * Caesars and Apostles * The Childhood of Jesus
'Floris Books are now republishing in paperback editions, making them more affordable though no less impressive. 'Saint Paul' is a great help in understanding the letters and Acts better. The chapters are divided into clear headings, to make it easy to dip into as required. Bock's conclusions and intuitive assumptions are timeless.'-- Anna Phillips, Perspectives, June 2006
