It really did give some depth to the story and let me see the characters more clearly. I believe the author stayed true to scripture also which is vital.

I read a book once about women’s role in church. It said that because women were uneducated in Paul’s time, they had lots of questions and were disturbing the service. That’s why Paul told them to be quiet and ask their husbands at home. I don’t know what reasearch the author used but it made sense to me.Cotwani wrote: ↑18 Oct 2018, 04:43 Though I had heard about repeaters, the use of water vessels as amplifiers was an intriguing surprise. I also liked that women had leadership roles and were treated with respect making me curious about Paul's message that women stay quiet in church. The assertion that Paul divorced his wife and was in love with Lydia is a put-off, however. Great review!

Thanks, I appreciate the comment.Cardinalsparrow wrote: ↑24 Oct 2018, 12:36 You review killed it. Even with my Christian background, the first thing that draws me to this book is the portrayal of Paul's character as a man capable of human feelings and not an "untouchable holy man"

I also enjoy historical fiction based on the Bible.
Ahh, so that's how they spoke to crowds. I wonder what other interesting facts are hides within the pages this books' pages...
Even if I didn't enjoy this kind of genre, your review would have intrigued me enough to want to read about Paul.
