In the Footsteps of St. Paul

As the chief persecutor of believers in Jesus as the Messiah, Saul of Tarsus seemed the most unlikely candidate to become the lynchpin in establishing and shaping the early days of Christianity. But as the apostle Paul, he and his associates both spread and shaped the emerging theology and began to attract gentiles, or pagans, as well.

Ori Z. Soltes, a professor of Jewish civilization at Georgetown University, focuses on the largely urban shape of Paul of Tarsus’ missionary activity and his evolving theology and examines this remarkable transformation against the backdrop of the pagan, Greek, Roman, and Judaean worlds in which he lived and worked.
