Jew Among Jews

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Paul remains an important religious figure. However, Rabbi Saul, student of the renowned Rabbi Gamaliel, has faded into the mists of history. Forgotten is the 'Pharisee of the Pharisees' who was 'more zealous for the Torah than they all.' Fortunately, Dr. Ambrose has not forgotten. Hence, her title: Jew among Jews: Rehabilitating Paul. Well said, and very well articulated throughout. I have already placed her book on my various syllabi as a required text.”

Rich Mullins

History & Biography

“Rich Mullins was a pilgrim. He passed through here, sank into his own humanity, and rose to heights of sacredness through grace. His irreverent spirituality touched many, confused some, and gave hope to many more. In this book one can reach into the inside of this man. This is not the spiritual climb of an ascetic but the dusty road of a pilgrim. Rich did not rise to meet God; God came and got him—and much too soon for the rest of us. Thanks to Jim Smith for helping us be guided by Rich's sensitivities between these pages.”
