  In the early 1930s, H.V. Morton retraced the steps of St Paul from his birthplace at Tarsus to the scene of his martyrdom at Rome. 'The modern traveller who takes the Acts of the Apostles as his guide-book, as I have done,' writes Morton in the Introduction to this remarkable book, 'journeys into a part of the world which once enjoyed the unity of the Roman Empire and is now divided among many nations.' But, as this remarkable book reveals, the essential nature of the sites he visited has not altered. Alive with discovery, anecdote and humour this is at once travelogue and history of the highest order. From Syria through Turkey, Macedonia, Greece, Rhodes, Malta and Italy, In the Steps of St Paul is an outstanding guide for any traveller, and the vivid, resonant account of a very personal pilgrimage.
