While he was on a journey approaching Damascus, Paul was "grasped, clasped, conquered" by Christ. From that moment, a few days after the death of Jesus, Paul became the most passionate Christian missionary.
The gospel he proclaims is not just a theory, it is also a way of being. That's what his Epistles are: an interwaving of words and life. The theological dissertation is always receptive to the ethical pastoral, existential implication. This journey through the personal and ideal world of the "Apostle par excellence" is an invitation to bring Paul out of its hagiographic pages and into out secularized world.
