N2  - "Saul of Tarsus: A Tale of the Early Christians" by Elizabeth Miller is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the tumultuous life of Saul of Tarsus, later known as Paul the Apostle, amidst the backdrop of early Christianity. It explores themes of faith, identity, and the conflicts faced during the formative years of the church.  The opening of the novel introduces the character of Saul as a Levite and rabbi amidst a setting in Jerusalem during March of 36 A.D. The chapter details Saul's interactions with other rabbis and a Levite named Joel, who brings troubling news about the growing influence of those following the teachings of Jesus, specifically a follower named Stephen. As Saul grapples with the implications of this burgeoning movement and the charge of blasphemy it brings, he reveals his steadfast commitment to the Law and the gravity of the decisions that lie before him. The narrative sets the stage for a conflict that intertwines faith with personal relationships, illuminating Saul's complex character and the societal tensions of the time.
