Two fictionalized stories portray transformation in the lives of two biblical men named Saul. Saul, the first king of Israel, is transformed from a beloved youthful hero chosen by God into a murderous tyrant whom God rejects. His namesake, Saul, a millennium later, is transformed from being a zealous persecutor of Christians into Paul the Apostle.
