Paul the Traveller Book

This is a biased dramatization of the life of Paul, the writer of many books in the Christian New Testament. It starts out in media res with the final recorded shipwreck Paul is supposed to have experienced before he made his final stop in Rome.

Look, there was oodles of supposition in this book. I know the author was simply trying to put a human spin on the character of Paul, but there is nowhere recorded the information to create such a characterization. It was interesting the ideas advanced about Paul's nature. From what is written in the New Testament I have always thought Paul a mean-spirited weirdo with woman issues. The books attempts apology to those ideas but I am not dissuaded.

This was another free Kindle Prime Book and unless I had found a paper copy at a Goodwill for a $1 I would never have spent money for this. I can't really recommend it to anyone. There was a bit of insight to some aspects of 1st century life and I was reminded that The ruins of Pompeii date to that era. But there is not enough here for neither a theologian nor a student of history.
