mary | 2 comments Hi everyone,

I recently finished a thought-provoking Christian historical novel titled My Name Is Saul by Lin Wilder. It’s a fictionalized account of Apostle Paul’s final night in the Mamertine prison, told through powerful flashbacks of his transformation from Saul to Paul.

The writing blends rich biblical detail with emotional depth, and it really made me reflect on the cost of conviction and grace. If you’re drawn to faith-driven stories grounded in real history like The Robe or Ben-Hur this one might resonate.

Has anyone else here read it or come across other novels set in the New Testament era?

Would love your thoughts!

Elisabeth (Bets) (livingforjesus) | 1194 comments Hi, Mary, thank you for sharing this! To keep stuff more organized would you mine just copying and pasting this stuff over into the Biblical Fiction thread that I just made?

We prefer if members don't make their own threads so if you comment about this book in that other thread then I would just delete this one.

Thanks in advance for understanding!


mary | 2 comments Hi Elisabeth,
Thanks so much for the heads-up and for creating that dedicated thread I completely understand! I’ll go ahead and move my post over there now. Appreciate all the work you do to keep the group running smoothly.

Blessings,
Mary
