One of the most notable Early Christian missionaries, Paul the Apostle urged nonbelievers to follow the risen Lord; his timeless example beckons each Christian to faithfully witness for Jesus Christ.Did You Know? Unlike the Twelve Apostles, Paul did not know Jesus in life; he came to faith through a vision of the risen Jesus Thirteen New Testament letters (or epistles) are attributed to the apostle Paul Paul "received it [the Gospel] by revelation from Jesus Christ" (Gal 1:11-12), and according to the book of Acts, his conversion took place as he traveled the road to Damascus (on his way to persecute Jews)Main Characters:Paul, Silas, the Pharisee leaders, Marcus, Captain Lysias, Festus and King Agrippa Scriptural References:Acts, Chapter 13-28Overall Theme:Paul‰۪s ministry is an act of continuing faith andåÊåÊåÊåÊåÊåÊåÊ determination in the face of opposition from bothåÊ Jewish religious leaders and Roman civil authority.
