| Summary | "The Epic of Paul" by William Cleaver Wilkinson is a historical fiction work written in the late 19th century. The narrative presents the life and trials of the apostle Paul, focusing on significant events such as his arrest in Jerusalem, his imprisonment in Cæsarea, and his ultimate journey towards martyrdom. Central to the story are Paul himself, once known as Saul, and a variety of characters including Shimei, who conspires against him, and Stephen, Paul's young nephew who plays a crucial role in his defense. The opening of the book sets the stage for a tumultuous period in Paul’s life, beginning with his arrest and the conspiracy against him by a group of Jewish leaders. The narrative explores the tension between Paul and his former peers, illustrating his transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a prominent advocate of the faith. It introduces significant figures like Gamaliel, Paul's former teacher who remains loyal to him, and establishes the urgent atmosphere of danger surrounding Paul as he is caught between religious zealotry and Roman authority. The emotional layers of familial bonds, loyalty, and the weight of divine purpose are woven throughout this compelling introduction. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
