This review is from: Paul the Man: His Life and His Ministry (Paperback)

Few people have had as much influence on the spread and growth of Christianity as Paul. In Paul the Man, Macartney recalls the life of the man who shaped Christianity as we know it.

While most of the story of Paul is recounted in Acts of the Apostles and Paul's letters, the picture of Paul's life is scattered throughout the bible. In this book, Macartney puts Paul's life in a chronological order which makes an excellent read. The book does tend to get a bit tedious at times when the book is only discussing Paul's travel route, but the lack of more content is forgivable when it is realized that it is difficult to uncover new information after 2000 years. I respect the fact that Macartney did not speculate or invent information to spice up some of the more bland points in the book.

While we are unable to determine Paul's waning years with great certainty, I found the book to be otherwise thorough. I would recommend the book to the those wanting to learn about Paul and the true path of growth of Christianity.
