Joseph Callewaert's engaging work on St. Paul reads like a novel. With inviting, even dramatic, prose, it recounts the story of the great Apostle to the Nations. This is no dry tome or ponderous biography. Nor is its subject a "safe" historical figure, irrelevant to the issues of today: St. Paul remains controversial.
Some scholars claim he "invented" Christianity. They believe his message radically departed from what Jesus taught. The Christian faith, so the claim runs, is the creation of Paul's religious experience, not the doctrine of Jesus. Callewaert rejects this theory, as do many other scholars. His interpretation rests on the Bible and the abiding tradition of the ages, rather than tendentious theories or ideologically-motivated revisions.
Yet
Callewaert's work is no anti-scholarly screed. The World of Saint Paul provides
a popular, yet expert account of the Apostle and his age. For those who know
little about St. Paul-which includes many Christians-it is a superb introduction.
"In my presentation of St. Paul, I have tried to absorb the spirit of his
epoch as far as I could, and put less trust in the present-day judgments than
in the abiding traditions of the ages. If I have perhaps evoked a little too
much history and pursued rather too long a road in regions so rich with a past,
I have always made sure to trace a path which brings us back to this intrepid
and tenacious Jew who will steadily
appear in stark relief."
From
the Preface
Joseph M. Callewaert, Knight Commander of the French Order of Merit, was born
in Belgium and educated in France. Now a US citizen, he lives in Gulf Breeze,
Florida, where he enjoys life as an ardent historian of St. Paul the Apostle.
He has written delightful travelogues about undiscovered France as well as Lights
out for Freedom, a retelling of his youthful experiences of living in Belgium
during 52 months of Nazi occupation.
