Sixteen centuries of Christian art and history are covered by the 40 images of St Paul that Sister Wendy has chosen to lead us into the minds of the artists and into the very heart of St Paul. The images and commentaries are divided into two groups - the first showing illustrations of St Paul's life and the second concentrating on his personality. With the critical insight of an artist, Sr Wendy brings alive these pictures of St Paul. Through her deep knowledge of scripture she helps us to use the pictures to bring out key themes in his life and writings. Inspired by her contemplative life spent close to God, she is able to bring these two things together and thus enrich our lives as we strive, like St Paul, to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. "Here is a selection of what seems to me the finest and most insightful pictures of St Paul, chosen so that we can enjoy the art as art, and as a signifier of some spiritual truth." (Sr Wendy) Among the pictures included in the book are: St Paul by Andrea Vanni The Stoning of Stephen by Adam Elsheimer The Conversion of Saint Paul by Caravaggio Saul Before the Proconsul by Raphael St Paul Preaching at Ephesus by Eustache Le Sueur St Paul in Prison by Rembrandt The Ecstasy of St Paul by Nicolas Poussin St Paul Enthroned by Domenico Beccafumi St Paul by El Greco Icon of St Paul by Andrei Rublev St Paul Writing by Pier Francesco Sacchi
