Historical
The iconic Saint Paul – in his lifetime a scholar,
prosecutor for the high court of the Jews, accomplice in
murder, adventurer, traveler, orator, writer, advocate, and
organizer of a new faith – was in fact a Jewish-Hellenistic
citizen of the Roman Empire, a man who by the force of his
intellect and indomitable will changed the course of
history. Eventually he became the leader of the movement
that delivered the social and moral authority of
Christianity to a pagan world.
Given a message – that man and woman had a purpose in
earthly life and a future beyond the grave – he carried it
first and unsuccessfully to his fellow Jews, then
successfully to the gentiles and all mankind. His quality
of mind and ability to exhort and persuade, his personal
commitment to ethical conduct and values, and his courage
and indefatigability made Paul one of the continuing forces
in the progress of Western civilization.
