Paul used his status as both a Jew and a Roman citizen to advantage in his ministry to both Jewish and Roman audiences. According to writings in the New Testament Paul, who was known as Saul early on, was dedicated to the persecution of the early disciples of Jesus in the area of Jerusalem.[10] In the narrative of the book of Acts, while Paul was traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus on a mission to "bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem", the resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light. He was struck blind, but after three days his sight was restored by Ananias of Damascus, and Paul began to preach that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah and the Son of God.[11] Approximately half of the book of Acts deals with Paul's life and works. Fourteen of the twenty-seven books in the New Testament have traditionally been attributed to Paul. Seven of the epistles are undisputed by scholars as being authentic, with varying degrees of argument about the remainder. The authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews, already doubted as Pauline in the 2nd and 3rd centuries[12] but almost unquestioningly accepted from the 5th to the 16th centuries,[13] is now almost universally rejected by scholars.[14] The other six are believed by some scholars to have come from followers writing in his name, using material from Paul's surviving letters and letters written by him that no longer survive.[7][8][15] Other scholars argue that the idea of a pseudonymous author for the disputed epistles raises many problems.[16] Today, Paul's epistles continue to be vital roots of the theology, worship, and pastoral life in the Roman and Protestant traditions of the West, and the Orthodox traditions of the East.[17] Among that of many other apostles and missionaries involved in the spread of the Christian faith,[7] Paul's influence on Christian thought and practice has been characterized as being as "profound as it is pervasive". Augustine of Hippo developed Paul's idea that salvation is based on faith and not "works of the law". Martin Luther's interpretation of Paul's writings influenced Luther's doctrine of sola fide.more info visit:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle Watch more video for Ancient Discoveries: - Civilisation (1969) Full Part 1 to 13 : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZY8vtVCE4KT51KTBsU1UGAb2Ex8AHW7 - The Ancient Greeks: Crucible of Civilization Full Episode : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZY8vtVCE4IT290Z73Ru1sE2DV_41PsQ - The Roman Empire Full Episode : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZY8vtVCE4ITanUwoRbwQwtAmkRyEwpX - Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire full Episode: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZY8vtVCE4JnTTBcTrFth9HPGWXswpjT More Documentary Links: http://www.documentarytv168.weebly.com/ http://www.ancienthistory007.wordpress.com http://www.thebesthistory168.blogspot.com/ http://www.historytv168.blogspot.com/ http://www.dt1681.blogspot.com/ http://www.ngm168.blogspot.com/ http://www.history168.blogspot.com/
