He began as Saul of Tarsus, breathing threats against the church, and was stopped on the Damascus road by the grace of the risen Christ. This twelve-lesson study follows Paul from that conversion through his missionary labors, his defense before kings, and his final charge from a Roman prison — an apostle who could say at the end, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race." Each lesson stands alone, while the whole study works well for a one-quarter adult Bible class.

Teachers: Each lesson has a matching Leader's Guide with discussion notes, suggested answers, and supplementary cross-references.
