| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Paul |
 | | According to them Paul was the creator of theology, the founder of the Church, the preacher of asceticism, the defender of the sacraments and of the ecclesiastical system, the opponent of the religion of love and liberty which Christ came to announce to the world. | | | Paul says to the neophytes: "Thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered. | | | Paul, doubtless concluding that Cyprus, the natural dependency of Syria and Cilicia, would embrace the faith of Christ when these two countries should be Christian, chose Asia Minor as the field of his apostolate and sailed for Perge in Pamphylia, eighth miles above the mouth of the Cestrus. |

| | Apostle Paul |
| | Paul explained that the time of Christ's coming (Parousia) for judgment was unknown, but both living and dead who had faith in him would be claimed by him as his own and saved for the everlasting kingdom. | | | Paul himself, in referring to this event, never uses the term conversion, which implies shifting allegiance from one religion to another; he clearly perceived the revelation of Jesus Christ to mark the end of all religions, and thus of all religious distinctions (see Galatians 3:38). | | | Paul, however, was urged to bear in mind the precarious position of the Jerusalem church. |

| | APOSTLE SAUL (PAUL) |
| | Paul's great abilities and earnest enthusiasm in spreading the gospel of Christ have made his name revered wherever the Christian religion is known. | | | After his recovery, he was converted and became an apostle and, lastly, suffered as a martyr for the religion which he had formerly persecuted. | | | Much can be read about the life and missionary journeys of Paul in the New Testament of the Bible. |

| | Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. | | | It is clear from Paul's letters that to him, the supreme significance of Jesus was found in his death and resurrection. | | | Paul established many church communities throughout the empire based on his interpretation of the gospel message |

| | Apostle Paul Founder of Christianity |
| | Paul uses the term in an identical manner: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. | | | Paul was first Christians to expound the doctrine of Christ's divinity. | | | Paul's new doctrine, however, met with disapproval from the Jewish-Christians of the Jerusalem Church, who regarded the substitution of Jesus' atoning death for the observance of the Torah as a lapse into paganism. |

| | The soldiers who kept guard over Paul were of course changed at frequent intervals, and thus he had the opportunity of preaching the gospel to many of them during these "two whole years," and with the blessed result of spreading among the imperial guards, and even in Caesar's household, an interest in the truth (Phil. | | | Paul took with him Silas, instead of Barnabas, and began his second missionary journey about A.D. This time he went by land, revisiting the churches he had already founded in Asia. | | | His rooms were resorted to by many anxious inquirers, both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 28:23, 30,31), and thus his imprisonment "turned rather to the furtherance of the gospel," and his "hired house" became the center of a gracious influence which spread over the whole city. |

| | According to Donaldson, Paul as a believer in Jesus Christ did not abandon his Jewish frame of reference but reconfigured it, especially by the stimulus of his mission to the Gentiles. | | | One effect of Wenham's thesis is reconsideration of the dating and interrelationship of gospel material; he sides with those who favor an early date for Matthew and with those who are skeptical of the traditional two- source hypothesis. | | | In the first major analysis of Paul's understanding of Gentile salvation in several years, Bible scholar Terence Donaldson offers a creative approach to the apostle's theological convictions. |

| | Reassessing Apostle Paul |
| | Paul now believed that God had indeed begun to inaugurate a new age for Israel–just as the followers of Jesus whom he had persecuted had so passionately claimed. | | | Richard Horsley and historian Neil Asher Silberman, Paul became convinced that Jesus's earlier incarnation as a poor Galilean peasant was "merely a prelude to his revelation as Israel's messianic redeemer," spoken of in the Hebrew scriptures. | | | Christ was for Paul "not so much the man [the disciples] remembered (though of course he was that) but a presence of divine love in the hearts of believers." There was no quoting of Jesus's parables or aphorisms in Paul's writings, adds Gregory C. Jenks, rector at St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Drayton, Australia. |

| | The communities of Christ in Judea had no idea what I looked like; they had only heard that "he who was formerly persecuting us is now preaching the faith he treid to destroy," and they gave glory to God on my account. | | | The experience had a profound spiritual effect on him, causing his conversion to Christianity. | | | So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord, nor of me, a prisoner for his sake; but bear your share of the hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God. |

| | Epistles of Apostle Paul |
| | After his conversion, he became an Apostle of Christ, totally committed to the task of spreading the gospel, fortunate in his calling, yet recognizing his own impotence for fulfilling this eminent ministry and attributing all of his deeds and merits to the grace of God. | | | That's why Saint Paul needed to continually underline in his Epistles that Christ was the Savior of all humanity - for Jews just as well as for gentiles - and that a person was not saved by fulfilling the ceremonial deeds of the law, but only through faith in Christ. | | | These Epistles are outstanding in their remarkably elevated religious thoughts, reflecting the Apostle Paul's extensive knowledge and scholarship of the Old Testament, which were equal to his profound understanding of Christ's New Testament teachings. |
