Publisher's Synopsis
This bold and provocative essay proposes a radical reinterpretation of the conversion of St. Paul as a political rather than a religious event. The author argues that Paul's conversion was not a mystical experience but a calculated move to gain power and influence in the early Christian community, and that his subsequent teachings and actions were motivated by political ambition rather than religious fervor. With its controversial thesis and close analysis of the biblical text, this book is sure to spark lively debate and challenge conventional wisdom.
