St. PAUL c.5 BC-A.D. 64 Christian Apostle |
|
Saint Paul was the Christian Church's apostle to the
Gentiles and the most influential teacher in the history of
Christianity.
Originally an enemy of the Christian church, he became converted through a vision on the road to Damascus. Paul visited Peter and James in Jerusalem, then went with Barnabas to Antioch, where the idea of a planned mission first arose. Paul began a series of missionary journeys through Asia Minor and Greece. He kept in contact with the churches he established through numerous letters. In 57 A.D. St. Paul was arrested in Jerusalem and eventually brought to Rome to await trial. It is said that he died a martyr's death in Rome under Nero. |
