The Gospel According to St. Paul: Meditations on His Life and Letters

St. Paul comes to life in this unique collection of meditations by renowned biblical scholar and retired archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini. In simple and moving language, Martini weaves together St. Paul's life, character, and teachings in such a way that we come to know the apostle as a human being with the same hopes and struggles that we have. Cardinal Martini reflects upon the pivotal periods of Paul's life that shaped his future ministry. The meditations in this book, most of which are being published in English for the first time, will help readers better understand St. Paul and his New Testament teachings and what they mean for us as Christians of the twenty-first century.
