Paul of Tarsus

A few years after Christ, Paul was born to a family of Jews in the City of Tarsus. His parents were both of Jewish lineage, resulting in his practicing of Judaism in his adolescence. During his schooling, Gamaliel, a Pharisee in Jerusalem, was Paul’s teacher. Paul spent his childhood learning to convert all followers of other faiths to Judaism using any means necessary. The occasional quotes from Greek poets in Paul’s writings allude that Paul also learned Greek and other languages from Gamaliel…

One of the major philosophers from late antiquity is St. Paul, an apostle of Jesus and leader of the early Christian church.

He takes the two questions; did Jesus die on the cross? And did he appear to people three days later? Through the accounts of the Bible, we can answer yes to both of those questions—which Habermas says, makes your case (Strobel 64). Paul was an apostle of Jesus, and in his letter to Corinth, he says that he personally saw the resurrected Jesus two separate times. 1 Corinthians 9:1, “Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?” (New King James Version). And in 1 Corinthians…

Saul was out of the picture as recorded chapter 9. There was a plot to kill Saul, as a result, the Jewish brethren took him to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus. From Gal 1–2 we gather that Saul was away for approximately ten years until Barnabas found him. Luke indicates the challenge Barnabas had finding Saul because of the verb he used, “look” (anazēteō) (a na za tay o) means to (seek out, search through…

Augustine is more concerned with the ideal state achieving those ends. The means of achieving those ends are not as important. A monarchy would be the preferable style of government. Augustine does not disapprove of democracy or aristocracy. A monarchy most resembles the relationship people have with God. A monarch is single ruler with great prestige and importance, that similar to how the church teaches about God. It would help with state legitimacy and reinforce the idea of God's role in…

don’t find that one will for their life? Does God’s will include the various decisions a person might make, however, and is it bigger than just one perfect will? How does a person know what God wants them to do? Men like Abraham, Moses, David, and Paul have faced this sincere and heartfelt pursuit, and this search to discern the will of God continues in the church today. The Importance of the Study The importance…
