Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -St. Paul is often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. His epistles (letters) have had enormous influence on Christian theology, especially on the relationship between God the Father and Jesus, and on the mystical human relationship with the divine.

Detailed explanation-2: -The apostle Paul was, arguably, the most successful proselytizer in history. As part of his missionary activities, he began a large number of Christian communities during the period 40–60 C.E. Undoubtedly, Paul was a leader.

Detailed explanation-3: -Paul had a strong influence on early Christianity, transmuting Jesus the Jewish messiah into the universal savior. This thesis is founded on differences between the views of Paul and the earliest Jewish Christianity, and also between the picture of Paul in the Acts of the Apostles and his own writings.
