Summary: "The Epic of Saul" by William Cleaver Wilkinson is a narrative poem written in the late 19th century. The work explores the dramatic transformation of Saul of Tarsus from an ardent persecutor of Christians to a devoted follower of Christ, ultimately documenting his spiritual journey and internal conflicts. Central to the narrative is the character of Saul, who is shown grappling with his zeal for the Jewish faith and his encounters with early Christian figures, including Stephen. The opening of the text sets the stage for Saul's character and his relationship with Gamaliel, his mentor. As Saul expresses his desire to confront the Christian preachers, he is filled with a nationalistic fervor and deep-rooted convictions about the Jewish faith. Gamaliel advises restraint, highlighting the tension between Saul's youthful zeal and the cautious wisdom of his mentor amidst the backdrop of Roman occupation. The scene captures the beginnings of a conflict that raises questions about faith, authority, and identity, foreshadowing Saul's destined transformation into Paul, the apostle.
