Apostle Paul

The Apostle Paul, also called Saint Paul or Paul of Tarsus, was a first-century Jewish convert to Christianity who became its most influential early missionary and theologian.

Originally named Saul, he famously persecuted Christians before his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus.

His letters to early Christian communities—Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, and others—form a substantial portion of the New Testament and remain foundational to Christian doctrine.

Paul's epistles address everything from salvation by faith to practical church governance.
