What is it about?
A Disciple in Damascus focusses on the pastoral call by Ananias on his enemy Saul of Tarsus, according to Acts ch. 9, and the phronesis, or mind-set, or true Torah thinking, that gave Ananias the courage to call on his enemy--and then effected in Saul a transformation moment that led to his becoming a follower of the Jesus sect and led to his sharing his correspondence about it with readers for millenia to come.

Why is it important?

Perspectives
The article is a witness to the power of the monotheizing process.
