Paul, who was formerly known as Saul of Tarsus until being called by Jesus, is the one of the most famous figures of the early church. His exploits and deeds have lasted through the ages so much so, that even some non believers know who he is.
Without Paul modern Christianity wouldn’t be the same at all. He is the most influential saint of the church because he wrote many of the most famous books in the bible, spread Christianity like no one had ever before, and inspired many leaders in the church to come after him.
Paul’s contribution to the bible has been known to be very important in the history of Christianity. Of the new testament 27 books, Paul (debatably) wrote 13 of them. His works and letters have essentially laid the foundations of what it means …show more content…
While the actual number of churches he started is disputed some sources estimate it was roughly 14 churches throughout his life. Without these churches being formed all over, it is possible Christianity wouldn’t be as widespread as it is today.
Paul inspired or directly appointed many people in power who would later do great things. In the churches paul started he would often appoint a leader. These leaders would often do many great things, and without Paul’s judgement on who to appoint, early churches would have most certainly failed. An example of someone who
Paul appointed to lead a church would be Titus. Paul does this in the letter of Titus in which he says,”The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you” (Titus 1:5.)
Everywhere Paul went, he attempted to leave the churches in good shape, which sometimes meant appointing people. Without Paul’s individual care for each church, they very possibly could have failed.
Paul really was an amazing man with many great traits of leadership. Without his nobel deeds, the influence of gospel might not have made it to Rome before it
