The Least of the Apostles--which is how Paul described himself in First Corinthians 15:9--places a carefully condensed version of Paul's letters chronologically into the historical story of Paul's ministry as recorded in the Book of Acts.

Brief introductions to each letter and footnotes on historical background help the reader better understand Paul's ministry in the broader context of Roman History. The book also includes short appendices on Paul's letters and the New Testament canon, and on the relation of Paul's teaching to that of Jesus.

The Least of the Apostles was written for new believers, or for unbelievers who are "seeking" and who want a quick overview of what the gospel and Christianity is all about.

The book would be ideal for home Bible studies or for discipling new Christians. It would also be good for non-Christians who would like to know more about genuine Christianity from the source, rather than from Hollywood or the news media. At only 178 pages (not small print) the book could easily be read from cover to cover in a weekend.
