Chip Polk and the Ragtown Gospel Vocal Band provide inspirational gospel music. After Paul was saved on the road to Damascus, the Bible tells us only that he “went to Arabia,” but mysteriously names no city or destination. It was there that Jesus himself revealed the gospel of the New Covenant in all its fullness to Paul, making him an apostle, charged with the mission of offering salvation through faith in Christ to the Gentiles. This play presents the intriguing conjecture that there was one place in Arabia God might well have chosen…the same place where He delivered the Old Covenant to Moses…Mount Sinai. This is the story of two messengers of the two covenants side by side in the same place.
