Paul s spiritual journey is driven by a transforming encounter with the risen Lord. In "A Window into the Spirituality of Paul, " Patrick J. Hartin focuses on the spiritual vision that emerges in Paul s own personal response to Christ, found within his letters in the New Testament. Not only were early followers shaped by Paul s example, but throughout history many saints and sinners have given flesh to this rich spiritual tradition. Their witness is an integral part of how Hartin helps us explore key aspects of Paul s spirituality."
