Set Apart: The Life and Legacy of the Apostle Paul

The life of the Apostle Paul stands as one of history’s most dramatic transformation stories. What started as a journey to persecute Christians became a mission to plant churches across the Roman Empire. When the Apostles in Jerusalem first heard that their former persecutor had become a preacher of the Gospel, they hardly believed it. Yet Paul’s conversion and subsequent ministry would shape Christianity for two millennia.

This book began not as a scholarly project, but as a series of sermons preached from the pulpit of a local church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday Evenings, where we walked through the remarkable life of Paul. As I studied his story, traced his journeys, and meditated on his writings, I was struck by how God sovereignly prepared this man through three distinct cultural worlds, how He broke him on the Damascus Road, and how He rebuilt him into the most influential missionary the world has ever known.
