Meet Paul: An Encounter with the Apostle
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Coggan invites us to meet the man who has significantly influenced the development of Christianity over the last two millennia. This introduction, however, is not to the grim and pedantic figure of popular stereotype, but to a complex person, passionate, affectionate, and very human. The author reveals the crucial significance of the apostle’s favorite phrase—“in Christ”—and illuminates the many facets of his personality and teaching.
This work makes Paul alive, in Christ, and supremely relevant for both the world and the Church of today.
—David Hope, from the Foreword
