Synopsis

St Paul has always been a controversial figure. He spent the first half of his life learning about and vigorously promoting Mosaic Law as the means of salvation. After his conversion, he realised that salvation was only possible by honouring God and following his express wish we respect our neighbours. My story is about the second half of his life and his extraordinary achievement in helping make a little-known Jewish Sect the most widely recognised religion in the world. After Jesus Christ, Paul is one world’s most prominent historical personalities. However, his achievements were only possible because of the extraordinary cast of characters who worked alongside him.This story reveals how these wonderful people responded to his leadership in taking the good news to the Gentiles in extremely difficult circumstances.About the author David Copp trained to join the UK Wine and Spirit Trade. He also studied French Civilisation at the Sorbonne and took a BA in European Humanities. His interest in St Paul was stimulated by reading the novels of Grahame Greene. Many of the principal characters in Greene’s novels are ordinary people who often don’t do the good they would like to do, because there is another law in their bones, ‘warring’ as Paul puts it, ‘with the law of their minds.’ Paul’s missionary work reveals how this all too human predicament can be overcome by the grace of God.He has travelled extensively in Israel, Asia Minor (now Turkey) and Greece and is deeply indebted to the scholars and writers who have lit up the Pauline path for him. David Copp has written four wine books including ‘Hungary: It’s Fine Wines and Winemakers’ shortlisted for the Louis Roederer international wine book of the year award.The front cover drawing of Paul in the prime of his life is by Judy Copp
