"This was my first Caldwell book and I loved it. Caldwell is poetic and elequent. She teaches the reader about The Greeks, Romans, Jews and Paul and how he was received by the early church and why. I recomend this book to anyone who is interested in the Roman Empire, the origin of the church or Christ."

Great Lion of God

Taylor Caldwell

Read an excerpt (opens in a new tab)

For he was a veritable lion, a red lion, the great lion of God
~St. Augustine

Saul of Tarshish, or, as the Romans called him, Paul of Tarsus, was a Pharisee, lawyer, theologian, and a dedicated Apostle of early Christianity. In this prodigious historical novel the author takes advantage of the richly varied and conflicting doctrine, revelation and history of the Bible to create her very own St. Paul.

Although the story unfolds through quoted scripture, portentous dialogue, familiar tenets and pulpit certitudes, a detailed and panoramic portrait of Paul slowly unfolds. Reared in love of humanity by his father and seized by a longing to know God, but plagued by the severity of spiritual rigidity, Paul is driven to persecute his own people to protect them from blasphemy until a vision on the Road to Damascus transforms his understanding of God and realigns his life's purpose.

Taylor Caldwell's vast novel, replete with details of the peoples and civilizations of the time, will be of great interest to those of like mind and persuasions.
