Describing the environment into which Saul was born, his education,
his conversion before Damascus and his subsequent journeys, Bock's
study gives a spiritual dimension to Paul's background, providing a
deeper understanding of this great Christian figure and his
teaching. Above all he shows that Paul was the apostle who carried
Christianity beyond the Jewish communities to humanity at large. As
a zealous Jew, Paul was convinced he was serving the coming Messiah
in his persecution of the followers of Jesus. When the light
suddenly came to him before Damascus, his innermost being was
opened. Paul shows that the time of the Law of Moses had run its
course and conscience as 'inner jurisdiction' was now to replace
the rules and laws imposed from without.
