Preaching Grace on the Square 
It is very encouraging to see that your blog is attracting a growing readership. Having missed the original posting re: St. Paul, I went back to see what you had to say about the Caravaggio painting and how, exactly it related to the various accounts of St. Paul’s epiphany. The scene is certainly disturbing; an older man stands barefooted holding the bridle of a what appears to be a war-horse. He seems to be directing the horse to stomp a young soldier who has fallen to the ground and lost his weapon. Or perhaps the soldier has been thrown from the horse and the peasant has caught it and is holding it until he remount?
So my question is, what does that have to do with St. Paul? Is it an indirect reference to Saul’s presence at the stoning of St. Stephen? Is the older man an image of Paul and the horse a symbol of the Church trampling out the Roman tyrant? I suspect you had something else in mind. and I remain curious to know what. Thanks for another fascinating post.
