Apostle Paul

Apostle Paul or Paul the Apostle was a Jewish tentmaker from the city of Tarsus. Once Apostle Paul was converted to Christianity, he devoted himself completely to spreading the word of Christ to as a vast an area as possible, and especially to Gentiles. Apostle Paul was sometimes known as St. Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles.

If not for the tireless work of St. Paul the Apostle, Christianity might have remained primarily a sect of unorthodox Jews. But St. Paul the Apostle set himself to broaden its membership, by extending the teachings of Christ and His church to everyone.

Apostle Paul was a man of passionate eloquence and unwavering love for his Master. He preached the new gospel in the cities of Asia Minor and Greece and finally in Rome itself. Behind him he left a line of devoted communities that stretched from Palestine to Italy. Everywhere he went, Apostle Paul founded churches. Some of the letters Paul the Apostle sent to these churches were widely circulated, eagerly read and passed around from follower to follower - some of these letters later became part of the New Testament.

The man who dedicated his life to bringing the teachings of Christ to the Greek and Roman world, was a man who never met Jesus during Jesus' earthly ministry.
