Originally written as a handbook for Bible Class teachers, this little book on the Apostle Paul is a real gem. Stalker manages to compress a great deal into its pages, examining not only Paul’s life but also his teachings. Modern research has expanded our knowledge of New Testament times since this book was first written, but Stalker remains unsurpassed for capturing the essence of Paul’s life as revealed in the Scriptures in a book of such modest size.

James Stalker (1848-1927) was Professor of Church History at the United Free Church College in Aberdeen. Alongside this volume, Stalker also wrote the companion volumes, The Life of Jesus Christ and The Trial and Death of Jesus Christ.
