Through his spiritual and mental vigor, his effort, and his justice, he created a new society and fostered the cause of freedom, which has spread widely over the past two thousand years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Taylor Caldwell exposes more of who Saint Paul was—an ordinary man, with his own despairs, anguish, doubts, anger, and intolerance—and emphasizes less what he did.
