{"product_id":"9780692903995","title":"The Apostle","description":"Theologians have debated for centuries whether there really was a historical Jesus. A consistent minority has argued that even if Jesus did exist, he must have survived his execution. Saul, a Pharisaic student in Jerusalem, is initially enraged at the tattered believers who accept Jesus as the Messiah, risen from the dead. He has been burdened all his life with hallucinations -- when Jesus appears to him on the Damascus Road, a new and terrifying abyss opens beneath his feet. The Apostle follows Saul - renamed Paul -- through decades of contentious preaching, extraordinary visions and an eventual tragic discovery. He recounts his story in the voice of an embittered centenarian, living as a hermit far from the centers of civilization.","brand":"Martin Otchevnik LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49878341746928,"sku":"9780692903995","price":8.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692903995","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
