Description

What was God’s purpose in choosing Israel? Why did the light of salvation seem to pass from the Jews to the Gentiles? And how did one man, Saul of Tarsus, later known as St Paul, change the course of Christian history?

This book offers a fresh and deeply biblical look at God’s unfolding plan of salvation, tracing it from the Garden of Eden to the ministry of Jesus Christ, and into the missionary journeys of St Paul. It uncovers the rich, often overlooked truth that Israel was never chosen merely for privilege, but for purpose: to be a light to the nations, to prepare the world for the Messiah, and to proclaim Him to the ends of the earth.

When that mission was rejected by many in Israel, God’s grace extended to the Gentiles, who embraced it with faith. This shift, far from being a detour, was part of the divine strategy from the beginning. At the heart of that mission stood St Paul, a devout Jew and Roman citizen uniquely positioned to preach the Gospel across cultures. Through his story, we see how God works through history, identity, and even conflict to bring about His plan for the salvation of all.

Far more than a historical survey, this book challenges the reader to see evangelism not as a modern invention, but as a deeply rooted calling embedded in the very fabric of God’s covenant with His people. It also invites us to imitate St Paul’s courage, wisdom, and adaptability in sharing the Gospel today.

Whether you’re a student of Scripture, a lover of Church history, or simply seeking to understand the Jewish and Gentile dynamic in the New Testament, St Paul’s Revelation offers clarity, depth, and a renewed sense of God’s unshakable mission.
