Five Biblical Characters
With Richard Baker.
5: Paul. He was a tent-maker from
Tarsus who became a major force in the spread of the early church. His letters are still read aloud in churches around the world, yet his early life was spent persecuting the very institutions that he later championed. The turning point was an encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus. Music includes excerpts from:
