St. Paul
Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, is more commonly known as St. Paul and is potentially the most important missionary of early Christendom. He was born around 5 AD or perhaps as early as 10 BCE and lived until approximately 67 AD. He is also known as Saul of Tarsus because this was his name before his conversion to Christianity (Acts 9:11). Paul was born in Cilicia in what is now Turkey and eventually became a great follower of Christianity and would spread the word of Jesus Christ far and wide. At that time, Cilicia was part of the Roman Empire and thus Paul was born a Roman citizen (Borg 2012,-page 67).

Very little information is known about Paul's early life or his family. His father is referenced briefly when he is called "a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee" (Acts 23:6). Later in the book of Acts, a reference is made to Paul's "sister's son" which indicates both that he had a sister at some point and that she bore a boy which was Paul's nephew (Acts 23:16). His conversions of non-Christians led to the spread of the religion throughout the world.

Paul the Apostle's Second Missionary Journey The Apostle Paul was an extremely important figure in the growth and expansion of Christianity. However, before Paul's acceptance of Christ, he was an avid persecutor of the early teachings and disciples of Jesus. From his birth all the way through this period of his young life, Paul the Apostle was known as Saul. Even during his time as a non-believer, Saul was very adamant
Paul's personal transformation was so intense that through his travels throughout the Mediterranean, he preached the gospel of Christ to Roman Gentiles and Jews.
