Detailed explanation-1: -After Jesus, the two most significant figures in Christianity are the apostles Peter and Paul/Saul. Paul, in particular, takes a leading role in spreading the teachings of Jesus to Gentiles (non Jews) in the Roman Empire.
Detailed explanation-2: -This was helped by energetic apostles, such as Paul and by the modern communications of the Roman Empire. Over 30 years, Paul clocked up around 10, 000 miles, traveling across the Roman Empire. He preached in some of the empire’s most important cities.
Detailed explanation-3: -Paul himself said, when speaking of his conversion, that God had revealed his son to him so that he could preach the gospel to the Gentiles. Paul believed that’s why he got converted. God had chosen him to bring about salvation to the Gentiles; in other words, to the world.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the subtitle of the present work makes clear, Lüdemann comes to the conclusion that Paul should be considered not only Christianity’s most influential proselytizer but in truth deserves the title of founder of the religion that ostensibly originated with Jesus of Nazareth.
