Most of what we know about the Apostle Paul (also known as Saint Paul or Saul of Tarsus) comes from the writings attributed to him and the Book of Acts. However, there are also a couple of writings from the late first and early second centuries that refer to him, including Clement of Rome’s letter to the Corinthians.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Paul’s life is that as a young man, he was well-known for persecuting Christians, but by the end of his life, he’d endured significant persecution asa Christian. The Book of Acts and Paul’s own letters provide an account of how this dramatic change happened. This famous encounter is referred to as the road to D...
Scholars believe Paul was born sometime between 5 BC and 5 AD, and that he died around 64 or 67 AD. While he was a contemporary of Jesus, they never crossed paths—at least, not before Jesus died. The first century was a tumultuous time for Christianity. The new religion was vulnerable, and it faced opposition everywhere from the Jews who believed i...
It’s a common misconception that Paul “used to be Saul,” and that when Jesus called him, he renamed him Paul. You may have heard something like “Saul the persecutor became Paul the persecuted.” But there’s no verse that says that. And Paul and Saul are actually two versions of the same name. Shortly after Saul converts to Christianity, Luke tells u...
Of all the ways Paul affected Christianity, the biggest was arguably his role in spreading the gospel to non-Jewish communities. He certainly wasn’t the only apostle to do so, but he is known as the “apostle to the Gentiles” because that’s who Jesus specifically called him to minister to (Acts 9:15), he and the other apostles agreed that was his ro...
Acts records three missionary journeys that took Paul throughout Asia Minor, Cyprus, Greece, Macedonia, and Syria. Some scholars argue there was a fourth missionary journey as well. In each of these, Paul and his companions set out to bring the gospel to Gentiles, and they establish the churches Paul wrote to in his epistles (as well as many others...
On many of Paul’s journeys, he travelled by boat. As you can imagine, boats weren’t nearly as safe in the first century—especially on long voyages. In his second letter to the Corinthians, which was likely written before his final trip to Jerusalem, Paul claims he was shipwrecked three times: There’s no other record of these wrecks in the epistles ...
During his ministry, Paul made a lot of people mad. On six occasions in Acts, Jews and Gentiles alike made plans to murder him—and one of those times, they stoned him and left him for dead. Only counting the times the Bible explicitly says they planned to kill him, not just attack or harm him, here they in sequential order.
When Paul was first imprisoned in Caesarea, he made his appeal to Governor Felix, then waited two years in prison with no progress. (Governor Felix strung him along because he wanted the Jews to like him, and he hoped Paul would bribe him.) Porcius Festus succeeded Felix and after hearing Paul defend himself, he asked Paul if would be willing to st...
By appealing to Caesar, Paul forced Festus to send him to Rome to await trial. When he finally arrived, “Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him” (Acts 28:16). Here, Paul preached freely to the Jews in Rome for two years. Scholars believe this is likely when he wrote his letter to the Philippians, because he references bein...

11 de dic. de 2013 · Pablo el Apóstol. RomanZ (CC BY-NC-SA) Pablo fue un seguidor de Jesucristo que se convirtió al cristianismo en el camino de Damasco tras perseguir a los propios seguidores de la comunidad a la que se unió. Sin embargo, como veremos, es mejor describir a Pablo como uno de los fundadores de la religión más que como un converso a ella.
