Religion – We learned all about St. Paul. He was a Jew and a Roman citizen. He studied under a famous rabbi and became an expert in the law. He worked with Jewish authorities and persecuted people that confessed Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the Messiah until he encountered the risen Christ on the road to Damascus and was converted to Christianity himself. Though he was not a disciple of Jesus, he is one of the greatest writers and teachers of God’s Word in the history of Christianity.
