Review Summary of A Wretched Man, a novel of Paul the apostle
A powerful recreation of the world of Paul, James and Peter that pulls no punches … highly readable novel, based on contemporary scholarship … Paul comes alive as a complex individual … this book opens up the reality of the world of Paul and his contemporaries in a way no other work does … Real individuals, with passions and agendas, step on to the world stage.
Read the full review by Barrie Wilson, Professor, Religious Studies, York University, Toronto. Author How Jesus Became Christian.
