Paul the apostle

In brief: Paul (originally Saul) was a critical figure in the early Christian church. He was a Jew who was a Roman citizen from the city of Tarsus. He was involved in the persecution of the early Church until his encounter with the resurrected Jesus on the road to the city of Damascus. After this he worked tireless at preaching the gospel to the non-Jewish (gentile) communities throughout the Roman empire. He wrote many letters to churches in different cities; these letters are included in the New Testament of the Bible.
