06.Saint Paul


 Saint Paul,Paul of Tarsus, also called Paul the Apostle, or the Apostle Paul, was a Hellenistic Jew (who later accepted Christianity). He was born in Tersus. He called himself the "Apostle to the Gentiles" and was, together with Saint Peter and James the Just, the most notable of early Christian missionaries.
           According to the Acts of the Apostles, his conversion took place on the road to Damascus. Thirteen epistles in the New Testament are attributed to Paul, though authorship of six of the thirteen has been questioned. Paul's influence on Christian thinking arguably has been more significant than that of any other New Testament author.
      He died in c 64-65 AD in Rome and was buried there.
