Who Was Paul the Apostle?
Paul was one of the most influential figures in Christianity. Though he was not one of the original twelve disciples, he became a major missionary to the Gentiles and wrote a large portion of the New Testament. Before his conversion, Paul was a Pharisee trained in Jewish law and was known for persecuting early Christians. His life changed dramatically when he encountered the risen Christ.
After that moment, Paul devoted his life to spreading the gospel throughout the Roman world.
