In the provinces of the Roman Empire in the first century AD, a fiery, passionate, busy man dictated some letters. These letters, which we know as the Epistles of Saint Paul, are the most famous ever written. What kind of people did Paul write to? Why did he write so many letters, and such long ones? Why do people today still read them? This book takes you into the cities of Corinth and Ephesus, along the Roman roads of Asia Minor, across the seas where Paul journeyed. The people he knew, the things that excited and troubled them, are real and interesting, and not so very different from the people and problems of today.
