About the author

Harry Emerson Fosdick was an American clergyman. He was born in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from Colgate University in 1900, and Union Theological Seminary in 1904. While attending Colgate University he joined the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. He was ordained a Baptist minister in 1903. Fosdick was the most prominent liberal Baptist minister of the early 20th Century. Although a Baptist, he was Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church on West Twelfth Street and then at the historic, interdenominational Riverside Church (the congregation moved from the then-named Park Avenue Baptist Church, now the Central Presbyterian Church) in New York City.

great book

[Kelly Hohenstern · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another landmark book. I admit it is well written and thorough but I did not enjoy the story line as much as in others. I wanted to learn some personal information about Paul, yet I don’t think I learned anything new that I didn’t already know from reading the New Testament. A little disappointing.

Enjoyed reading this book for youth. Refreshed my memory about Paul and his travels. I liked the maps as they made it easier to understand where Paul traveled.

The Acts of the Apostles, you know, for the kids.

What if you tire before it's done?
Does it have rules?
Can more than one play?
What makes you think it's a game?

Well done for adults along with intended younger audience. Factual and readable although last part seems more like a listing of the travels of Paul.
