12 - What's Your Verdict?

Have you ever heard of Paul? I am talking about Paul the
apostle, the man – Saul of Tarsus – who was converted on
the Damascus Road. You've got him now? If not, you can
read about him in the New Testament, Acts 9.
Well, anyway, I want to take up his life story some
years later than Acts 9; Acts 28, in fact. Paul is now a
prisoner of the Roman Empire, under house-arrest. He has
just arrived in Rome after being transported in a series of
hazardous sea voyages crossing the Mediterranean,
including a shipwreck close to Malta. A proper Robinson
Crusoe story! But, exciting though that was, it's not what I
want to talk to you about at this time
