Saul of Tarsus didn't set out to change the world. He set out to police it. Armed with letters of authority and a conscience sharpened into a weapon, he hunted the first Christians with the calm certainty of a man convinced he was doing God a favor. Then the light found him on the road to Damascus-and everything he knew about holiness, mercy, and power cracked wide open. Paul: The Reluctant Revolutionary is a vivid, psychologically honest biography that reads like theology in motion. It traces Paul's story from the contradictions of cosmopolitan Tarsus to the intellectual crucible of Jerusalem, through collapse and blindness, into a vocation that would outlast empires. Without resorting to academic jargon or sentimental gloss, the book shows how conviction without compassion becomes cruelty-and how grace can rewire a life without erasing its past. For readers who want faith with a backbone and prose with a pulse, this is Paul as you've rarely met him: brilliant, stubborn, haunted, remade. The result is a bracing portrait of the man whose letters still set hearts on fire-and a reminder that God's revolutions often begin with those least willing to participate.
