"St. Paul the Hero" by Rufus M. Jones is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and journey of the Apostle Paul, detailing his early years, education, and transformation from a persecutor of Christians to one of the most influential figures in early Christianity. Through the narrative, readers get to know key moments from Paul's life, his struggles, triumphs, and the significant relationships he formed along the way. At the start of the narrative, we meet a young Saul, a curious and thoughtful boy from Tarsus, who learns about his Jewish heritage and the law from his father. As he grows, Saul imagines himself as one of the great heroes of his faith. He is eventually taken to Jerusalem to study under the renowned Rabbi Gamaliel, where his thirst for knowledge flourishes. Soon, news of a revolutionary teacher from Galilee reaches Saul, which stirs both confusion and contempt within him. This internal conflict intensifies when he witnesses the execution of Stephen, a follower of the Teacher, and later embarks on a mission to persecute Christians. However, a pivotal encounter on the road to Damascus alters the course of his life forever, setting him on the path to become Paul, the apostle who would spread the message of Christianity far and wide.
