中英对照，精致全彩

是什么力量可以教一个迫害基督徒的狂热分子，摇身一变成为传扬基督教义的旗手？是什么样的召唤可以教奔波于途的传教先锋，毅然决然地交出自己的性命？圣保禄宗徒的一生，不仅高潮起伏，也充满着惊人的热火和勇气；他用行动为基督宣扬真理，用文字为信仰阐述真谛，用生命为基督血泪见证。

本书透过鲍博先生情境生动的图像，以及参照圣经而写就的中、英文圣保禄的故事，活泼地勾勒出圣保禄宗徒伟大而不朽的一生；也教人领悟到圣保禄所活出以及所说的：“在基督内生活”的真实意涵！

Thanks to its vivid, colorful and meaningful illustrations accompanied by a moving narration, this Chinese-English presentation of St. Paul's Heroic Life Journey recreates from St. Paul's point of view the epic birth and astonishing expansion of the early Church all over the Roman Empire. From Paul's conversion to his martyrdom, through imprisonments, beatings, stoning, shipwreck, persecutions, we can feel the truth of what he used to say, "It is no longer I who lives, but it is Christ who lives in me." Here is a book to read, meditate on and contemplate.

2.圣神降临
参阅 宗二1-4

The Holy Spirit Descends on the Apostles
Acts 2:1-4

耶稣升天后，宗徒们从橄榄山回到耶路撒冷。五旬节那天，他们和一些妇女聚集在一所房屋里，圣母玛利亚也在那里。忽然，巨声从天降下，好似风暴，充满了整座房屋，有舌状的火焰分散在各人头上。每人都充满了圣神，会说各地方言。

The apostles returned from the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem. On the day of Pentecost, the disciples were gathered together in a room. Mary was with them. Suddenly, a violent thunder and wind came from heaven. It filled the room. Flames shaped like tongues appeared over each one's head. Everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit and could speak foreign languages.

44.保禄在厄弗所为门徒覆手
参阅 宗十九1-7

Paul in Ephesus Places Hands on the Disciples
Acts 19:1-7

当阿颇罗在格林多时，保禄行遍省内高原地区后，来到厄弗所。在这里他遇见几位门徒，他们都受了若翰的洗礼，但从未听过有圣神。保禄向他们解释说：“若翰授的是悔改的洗礼。”他们一共十二人，听了便因耶稣的名受了洗。保禄给他们覆手，圣神便降临到他们各人身上，他们就说起各种语言和预言。

While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul arrived to Ephesus, after traveling through the high interior land of the province. In Ephesus, he met some disciples who did not know the Holy Spirit and had received only the baptism of John.

Paul explained to them that the baptism of John was a baptism of repentance. Therefore, they were baptized in the name of Jesus. Paul placed his hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit and began to speak languages and to prophesy. There were about twelve of them.
