Great Novel for our Time! Deserves a reprint...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I read Great Lion of God in High School over 10 years ago and reread it recently because I could not forget the bright, powerful and adventurous world that Taylor Caldwell described so vividly. I wasn't disappointed. However, I will warn you... This book is heavy. If you can make yourself get through the first 50 pages (she sets up her characters well), you won't be able to put it down.
It earned every star!!!

This was my first Caldwell book and I loved it. Caldwell is poetic and elequent. She teaches the reader about The Greeks, Romans, Jews and Paul and how he was received by the early church and why. I recomend this book to anyone who is interested in the Roman Empire, the origin of the church or Christ.
excellent historical novel of St. Paul

I remember reading this about 23 years ago and it was possibly one of the finest books I ever read. It is so fascinating that you cannot put it down----and that has rarely been the case for me. Joe Jagiell
The best book I'v read about the life of apostle Paul.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
The author does an excellent job in transporting the reader into the midst of the very life and events of the first century Middle East. You can hear, feel, smell, taste and witness the food, the people, the climate, the nature and the interactions between the Romans, the Greeks, the Jews and the sects and hear the religious and philosophical arguments of many sides.You can really feel and experience the pain and joys of Paul. The portrayal of Christ is also very real, down to earth and at the same time glorious and divine. The book is superb
