No other figure in the New Testament has elicited more controversy than Saint Paul. Was he a traitor to the Jewish faith? Did he malign the simpler message of Jesus? Or was he a brilliant theologian, a wise thinker, the man who created the Christian faith?
Paul of Tarsus
Paul was born into privileged circumstances, as he was both a Roman citizen and highly educated. He was a devout Jew, raised in Tarsus, a cosmopolitan city in what is now Turkey. An eloquent writer of Greek, he was trained to be a Pharisee, a rabbi and scholar of the Torah. He moved to Jerusalem as a young man, and later wrote he took pride in his strict adherence to Jewish law. For its sake, he persecuted and killed many of the first followers of Jesus.
Influences of the Cults of Mythra and Herakles
A.N. Wilson asserts in his book The Mind of the Apostle that Paul (named Saul at this time) having grown up a city dominated by pagan rituals, would have been exposed to practices that influenced his interpretation of Jesus’ death.
