Апостол Павел
Книга рассказывает об апостоле Павле, современнике Иисуса Христа, посвятившем свою жизнь распространению христианского учения. Многие исследователи считают, что именно Павел является основателем христианской религии, и ни у кого не вызывает сомнения, что "самозваный" апостол - апостол всеобщности христианства. История не сохранила подробностей жизни Павла, но многое можно почерпнуть из текстов, дошедших до наших дней и принадлежащих перу как самого апостола, так и его сподвижников и учеников.

Если вы хотите чисто научного подхода к биографии Павла, вы его тут не найдете. Наверно, и невозможно говорить об одном из основателей христианства беспристрастно: веришь или не веришь, все равно не избежать восхищения его деяниями.
Для того, чтобы прочувствовать своего героя, Ален Деко предпринял путешествия по тем же местам, где когда-то шагал апостол, и время в 2000 лет сжалось, превратившись в несколько слов и впечатлений. И еще, что поразительно в книге и в христианстве в целом: несмотря на исторические объяснения, когда, кем, под влиянием чего были написаны части Библии, тайна ее вдохновения все равно остается непознанной, выходящей за рамки работы разума и заставляющей сердце биться в унисон.
Книга будет интересна, скорее,тем, кто как и я, почти ничего не знает об апостоле Павле. Она не дает нового материала, но берет старый и смотрит на него другими глазами.

Documentaire qui traite des début de la chrétienté.
On y découvre Saint Paul qui n'était pas un apôtre de Jésus, sa conversion est venue plus tard. Il a côtoyé Pierre et Luc qui eux étaient des apôtres.
On visite Israël, la Palestine et Rome au début du christianisme.
Je recommande cette biographie bien documentée et très intéressante.

4 stele doar pentru ca nu imi place non-fictiunea, dar nu pot sa ii reprosez ceva autorului asta, macar. Ar fi putut fi mai putine presupuneri emotionale - mai ales dat fiind cat de pragmatic si indarjit era apostolul Pavel.

Amazing history about the genesis of christianity from the eyes of Paul during his travels.

La primera parte es un poco difícil de leer. Después adquiere más ritmo. Grandioso San Pablo!!

Une formidable biographie. Offert par ma mère l'année dernière après ma déception à la lecture du "Royaume" d'Emmanuel Carrère, j'ai dévoré cette biographie, très bien écrite, précise et documentée. Elle m'a permis de remettre en ordre les informations que j'avais grapillé sur Saint Paul au catéchisme et ensuite. Seul passage un peu faible du livre : la défense de la misogynie de Paul (Paul est misogyne, assumons-le) mais sinon un très bon livre, éclairant, érudit mais pas trop, qui permet de bien visualiser les lieux et l'époque.

This earns five stars because of its clarity and method of explaining St Paul in a way that can be easily followed and understood. I enjoyed the author's return to present-day as he reminds us that he has visited many of the sites that figure prominently in Paul's life and travels.
Reading Karen Armstrong's book alongside helped me recognize and accept the liberty this author took with his interpretation of the story of Paul.
My goal in reading this was to put a rational picture together of St Paul. The author was hugely successful in providing that. A book to be read again

This book was good, but it was so hard! I am glad I learned about the writer of many books of the bible but it took all my attention to focus on what the author said.
It helped pique my interest again in classical history as well.

Recommended by Marie-Hélène Walsh au Bernardins...she lent it to me. After studying Saint Paul with Père Eric Morin...Paul becomes a guiding light and treasure for life and faith. At the Bernardins the treasure hunt is unending and the communion deep and satisfying.

I loved the way the author puts the life of Saint Paul, not from a religious but a most historic point of view.
