Keith Dixon – Paul’s Journal

‘Author Keith Dixon spent years researching Paul’s life in the first-century Jewish world. He came to the conclusion that far from the untouchable images of heaven gazing saints, the apostle Paul ruthlessly focused on his earthly duty to build God’s church’. Brent talks with Keith Dixon about his new Liberty Hill book ‘Paul’s Journal’. Keith graduated from Hillsdale College with a degree in History before finishing law school and becoming in house counsel for a small engineering firm.  He never expected to write this book, so Paul’s Journal sat in a computer file for the better part of a decade before Keith finally finished the manuscript.  (0:55) Why Keith never expected to write the book; (2:15) The book ‘process’; (5:50) Extra biblical material; (6:15) How historical fiction can bring history alive; (7:35) Paul real but not always likeable? (11:45) Finding an ‘authentic’ voice for Paul; (14:45) Paul dealing with the Corinthians; (17:00) Some of the issues Paul was grappling with; (17:50) The end of Paul’s life.
