Hope theory (Snyder, 1994) has provided a sound understanding of hope that can be analyzed in multiple disciplines as a way of learning how their academic field can be improved. This dissertation sought to use a narrative analysis with hope theory as a theoretical lens to analyze the historical biography of the Apostle Paul to learn his early use of hope theory in his field of work as a way of using the concepts of hope theory to analyze Paul's meaning of hope. The biographical novel The Apostle by John Pollock was used as a research sample because of its multidisciplinary integration accuracy of geography, culture, weather, and historical detail. The initial steps of the analysis identified the different stories, verified historical details, and then coded the stories with a theoretical framework about hope theory and leadership developed earlier. The initial combination of the stories was simplified using narrative smoothing to produce a narrative summary. The data from this summary were deductively selected for their appropriate detail, and an objective statement about the selection was created as a finding(s) to allow further analysis. These findings were used to provide the answers to the four research questions as the means to consolidate the findings. The findings and the answers to the research questions identified the five prominent significant themes; life without hope provides a new understanding of how despair and hope conflicted. The study of Paul's lived experiences added a new understanding of prehope and despair. These issues led to new experiences that precede hope's Point A, which led to a more systematic process in developing hope in Paul's life. His life was seen as cyclical in living hope and a need to resolve unique barriers in his future. The emergence of the barriers and supernatural themes added new knowledge about applying hope theory in real life. The conclusions from this narrative analysis looking at Paul retrospectively provide a more informed view of how hope theory works in real life and how modern-day life can benefit from this enhanced outline of his life.
