An opportunity to experience first-hand the journey of christianity
St. Paul is the most important person of the New Testament, apart from Jesus. Thirteen of the 27 books of the New Testament are in his name and all of them are letters.
Much of what we know about Paul comes from these remarkable written sources, added by stories from Acts of the Apostles, in which Paul figures highly in the second half (chapters 9–28). |
Paul, also known by his Jewish name Saul (see Acts 13:9) was born in Tarsus, the capital city in the Roman province of Cilicia, probably between 1 and 10 A.D.
Paul was a Jew who was living outside of Palestine. He was well-educated and was a student of the great rabbi Gamaliel I in Jerusalem (Acts 22:3). |
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.” |
