A firsthand account of the apostle to the Gentiles... but not as you know it. Rome, AD 62. Confined in a rented house, the fire of his mission banked to embers, the apostle Paul awaits a trial that will decide his fate. At his side is Luke, his friend and physician, who fears a greater threat than Nero's courts: that the story of a revolution of grace will be lost to the silence of history. Haunted by this, Luke takes up his pen. But to capture the epic of the early church-the shipwrecks, the mobs, the mystical revelations-he must first untangle the memories locked within the complex and compelling man at its heart: Paul. As Luke probes the aged apostle, their conversations become a journey in themselves. A story of a stoning triggers a confession of guilt. An encounter on the Damascus road leads to a hard-won moment of reconciliation. Through late-night dialogues and the rustle of parchment, the zealous Pharisee, the blinded convert, and the battle-hardened apostle collide in the same room. Told through the dual lens of Luke's vivid, real-time journals and the poignant reflections of the present, SAULPAUL unveils the man behind the epistles. A sweeping historical novel about the birth of a faith, and an intimate portrait of a friendship forged in peril, tested by conflict, and tasked with giving a voice to the gospel for all time.
