The personality of one man remains indelibly impressed upon Christian thought and practice. Can the biblical scholar and the psychologist together offer new insights into this most influential - and perhaps enigmatic - missionary theologian? James R. Beck looks at the world context and writings of the apostle Paul for clues to the inner man who was chosen and empowered for extraordinary service. This book probes Paul's background, conversion, motivation, virtues, vices, and path toward martyrdom.
