EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative late 19th century illustration depicts the biblical scene of the shipwreck of Paul the Apostle on the shores of Malta, as recounted in the Book of Acts. In the story, Paul and his companions were on their way to Rome for Paul's appeal as a Roman citizen to Caesar, when their ship was caught in a violent storm. After being driven ashore on the island of Melita (Malta), the travelers were welcomed by the local inhabitants who showed them great kindness and hospitality. The illustration captures the moment of the ship's arrival on the rocky Maltese coastline, with the ship's masts and sails jutting out of the churning waves. Paul and his companions, clinging to the sides of the ship, look out at the unfamiliar land with a mixture of trepidation and relief. The local people, dressed in traditional Maltese garb, run towards them with outstretched hands, offering assistance and shelter. The illustration, from the Reuben Luke Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to this pivotal moment in Christian history, reminding us of the resilience and faith of Paul and his companions in the face of adversity, and the generosity and hospitality of the people of Malta. The image is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of the biblical story, and the continued relevance of its themes of perseverance, kindness, and the human spirit.
