Paul, The Apostle, was bcrn at Tarsus
cf Cilicia. His father was a Jew, who had
received the Roman citizenship, so that the
son was 'freeborn/ On his way to Damascus
he had the vision cf Jesus which changed his
career. After his meeting with Ananias in
Damascus and his baptism, Paul went down
o Arabia for three years. He went to Jeru-
alem, and proclaimed his new faith where
he had most bitterly opposed it. His con-
ception of Christianity, and not circumstan-
ces, determined his career. Forthwith he re-
.urned to Tarsus, worked for seme years in
Syria and Cilicia, and, after another year of
work in Antioch of Syria, was sent up with
Barnabas to Jerusalem as the bearer of con-
tributions to the mother church, which was
suffering from the famine cf 44 aj>. Crossing
:o Perga, they made their way through the
Taurus Mts. to Antioch of Pisidia, evangel-
ized and founded churches in Iconium, Ly-
stra, and Derbe. -
The conversion of Luke, a Macedonian
physician, was followed by a vision in a
dream which summoned Paul to Europe. He
accordingly made his way to NeapoHs, and
thence through Philippi, Thessalonica, Beroea,
and Athens to Corinth. In Macedonia and
Greece" he met with considerable success,
though the culture of Athens mocked the
apostle's enthusiasm. The Epistles to the
Thessalonians, which were probably written
about this period, show the gospel that Paul
preached. From Corinth Paul returned to
Jerusalem by way of Ephesus, and thence
made his way to Antioch. About this period
he wrote his three great doctrinal epistles. In
those to the Galatians and the Corinthians
he works out his fearless confidence that
Christianity is a new creation of God in faith
and morals; that it needs no completion, and
can brook no rivals. The Epistle to the
Romans is a calmer statement of his position.
From Corinth he set out to keep the feast
of Pentecost at Jerusalem. But no sooner was
the apostle recognized in the court of the
women *ba.p a popular tumult arose against
this contemner of the traditions of the fath-
ers. When the apostle, however, was brought
before Festus, he appealed to the imperial
court at Rome. In charge of a centurion,
Julius, the prisoner was sent to Myra, and
thence conveyed in an Alexandrian wheat-
