Detailed explanation-1: -St. Paul the Apostle, original name Saul of Tarsus, (born 4 bce?, Tarsus in Cilicia [now in Turkey]-died c. 62–64 ce, Rome [Italy]), one of the leaders of the first generation of Christians, often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Paul of Tarsus (d. c. 65), who called himself the Apostle to the Gentiles ( Romans 11:13, Galatians 2:8), together with Simon Peter was the most notable Early Christian missionaries. Unlike the Twelve Apostles, Paul did not know Jesus in life, though he claimed to have seen the resurrected Jesus ( 1 Cor 15:8-9).
Detailed explanation-3: -Self-appointed apostle of Jesus, whom he never met, Paul was born Saul in Tarsus and was probably a Roman citizen. He was definitely a devout Jew, and among those who persecuted the early followers of Jesus for breaking Jewish law.
Detailed explanation-4: -Book details 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.
