Saint Paul: A Historical Novel of His Life

Saint Paul: A Historical Novel of His Life

Léon Poirier
0/5 ( ratings)

Without departing from the traditional and Orthodox interpretations of the Gospels, Henry Penneel has written a book which portrays the life of Christ in an original and vital fashion. The principal episodes in the life of Jesus, from Bethlehem to Calvary, are narrated by persons who participated in these events. By supplying details which were not recorded in the Gospels, the author breathes such vitality into the various witnesses that their testimony achieves a startling realism.
Each chapter presents a particular episode in the life of Christ as seen and experienced by some person who was actually there. Not only is the actual event recorded, but the witness describes his own personal reaction to it. As a result, the book as a whole is not only a life of Christ, but a study of religious psychology, showing the impact of Christ on the persons who listened to his doctrine and witness the events of his life.
The authors style is alert and concise. With unusual insight and great delicacy a feeling he adapt himself to the character of each witness, ranging from simplicity and delightful humor to lyricism and pathos. He captivates the reader with his profound realism and edifies him with his brief reflections.
