A hundred years before it happened, Rome was an immense power, defended by an all-conquering army. But the power and the army vanished. Michael Grant, who has produced more than two-dozen popular histories of the ancient world, here identifies and discusses thirteen defects of internal conflict he sees a ..."

Paul's own authentic voice can still be heard in his surviving letters and epistles, and it comes across here, along with his four evangelical journeys and the reasons for his spectacular conversion on the road to Damascus.
