From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul of Tarsus or Saint Paul the Apostle is considered by many Christians to be the most important disciple of Jesus, and next to Jesus the most important figure in the development of Christianity. The Apostle Paul himself was a Jew from Greece of that time (Tarsus of present-day Turkey), and it was he who first made great efforts in his epistles to the Romans in showing that God is for all the people, not only for Jews. Originally a man who sought to stamp out the followers of Christ, he became one of the greatest echoes of Christ's message of hope to all people following his transformation on the road to Damascus.
