About this title

Synopsis

"In 'Saint Paul', we discern the heart and soul behind much of Adolphe Monod's ministry. Yes, he wanted to lead his listeners and especially his own parishioners to the foot of the cross so that they would commit their lives to Christ, but that was just the beginning. He also wanted to raise up a generation of young people who would, through their faith and action, bring renewal to the church. Beyond that, even, his ultimate goal was to see the renewed church transform society and change the world. That was the need in nineteenth century France, and it is still the need today." -from the Translator's Preface

About the Author

Adolphe Monod (1802--1856) was the best-know and best-loved Evangelical preacher in French-speaking Europe of his day, and he was a significant figure internationally.  His own faith came alive through the Awakening that stirred French-speaking Europe in his early years, and his preaching sought to pass on that new spiritual life to others.  He has been called "the voice of the Awakening."  In addition to decades of pastoral work, mostly in the Reformed Church of France, he spent a decade teaching at the denomination's seminary in Montauban, laboring to train pastors who would, in turn, carry on the work of the Awakening, bringing new life to the broader church.
