About Paul the Apostle
Paul of Tarsus was a Jewish tentmaker and Pharisee who, by his own account, persecuted the first followers of Jesus before a vision on the road to Damascus turned him into Christianity’s most energetic missionary. His letters to early churches make up a large part of the New Testament.
Scholars agree that Paul wrote at least seven of the letters credited to him, including Romans and 1 Corinthians. Others, including the letters to Timothy, are traditionally credited to him, but many modern scholars think they were written later by his followers.
