Biographical Text

Paul of Taurus, also referred to by his Hebrew name of Saul, was an important religious figure in the early days of Christianity. Born to a devoutly Jewish family in the Roman Empire, he was involved in persecutions of the early Church. After experiencing a conversion, however, he became one of the strongest proponents of Christianity. He is credited with writing 14 of the 27 books in the New Testament. Paul was martyred in 67.
