WAS St. PAUL THE FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY?
Saul of Tarsus, later Paul the Apostle, was the inventor and founder of Christianity. St. Paul's passionate letters had already told the history of the Christian community, as well as his own belief and convictions, long before the four evangelists. These letters form today the basis of Christianity. Despite the fact that he had not seen Jesus he had been the sole man to be recognized as an Apostle. The life and doings of St. Paul have been grouped under 10 headings: Cruelty inflicted by Saul of Tarsus to Christians Baptism of Saul of Tarsus St. Paul and the Nazarenes The Letter of James (Jacob), brother of Jesus Controversy between Paul and the Nazarenes St. Paul renders null and void the Law St. Paul's definition of Jesus Messiah Conflict between St. Paul and the Nazarenes Endearment to Roman Administration St. Paul's struggle to spread Christianity |
