Religion is a major part of the majority of people 's lives which contributes in both negative and positive ways such as contributing to courses or war and answering the enduring questions of mankind. “All major religions begin with the experience of a particular historical individual” is a significant quote which applies to Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. For Christianity Paul is known as the second founder and got Christianity the kick start it needed after Jesus’ death. Through his letters (Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews) he addressed and advised the corrected ways in God’s eyes. He addressed the problems in the early Christian communities such as ethics like homosexuality and women 's rules in the church. Beliefs like salvation and the trinity. As well as practices such as baptism, Eucharist and the stopping of the Jewish practise circumcision. The life of Paul had a significant impact on the expression of modern Christianity.
Paul is one of the most important figures of Christianity, he is known as the second founder of Christianity. He challenged early Christian communities by preaching to Romans and Gentiles with a new view to the Followers of Jesus. He had no physical contact with Jesus
Paul of Tarsus (originally Saul of Tarsus) is widely considered to be central to the early development and adoption of Christianity. Many Christians view him as an important interpreter of the teachings of Jesus. Little is known of the birth and early childhood of Paul, then known as Saul. It is known in the scriptures that he was born in the city of Tarsus (Acts 22:3) located in the Roman province of Cilicia around the year 5 A.D. Saul left his home during his early adolescence and was taken to Jerusalem for his formal education in the most prominent rabbinical schools of that day. Young Saul had the privilege to be trained by Gamaliel, the most outstanding
With the ability to assimilate to various aspects of the universal Roman society, the apostle is able to relate to and address many different types of people. This aspect of his life makes Paul able to apply the collective ‘we’ when instructing believers of opposing backgrounds. Likewise, after his conversion

Paul was “a Hebrew born of Hebrews,” who lived from 5 C.E. to 67 C.E. and became seen as a Jewish apostle for the gentiles or non-Jews. Paul created a new subtype of Judaism known as Jesus following Jews. Even though Paul strongly self identified as Jewish, he took it upon himself to spread the ways of Jesus to non Jews in attempt to save everyone when the world ended. He went on missionary trips to and from Jerusalem, Cyprus, Galatia, and Ephesus. Paul wrote that “There is no longer Jew or Greek… for all of you are one in Jesus Christ.
However, without Paul, who improvised his message, there would be no church or perhaps Jesus. History and spread Christianity began in the 1st century AD as a small Jewish religious group but quickly spread throughout the Roman world. It became a state religion in the end, despite early persecutions of Christians under the Roman empire. During the middle ages, it
This was due to the fact that he called himself, “The Son of God”. Just before Jesus was condemned to death, he commanded his to disciples to continue spreading his teachings. At first they only preached in Jewish communities throughout the Roman world, but Paul played the most influential role in spreading Christianity throughout the world. He set out on missionaries on the road to spread Christianity worldwide. He traveled through the Mediterranean and set up churches in Asia Minor and Greece. He proclaimed that those who believed that Jesus was the son of God and followed his teaching would obtain eternal
Christianity first began with the Jews before the birth of Jesus, the Jews held a prophecy that Jesus, the “messiah” would one day come to earth and die on the cross to clear all humanity’s sins, the past, the present, and the future sins (History). Eventually, that Messiah was born and his name was Jesus Christ, he would assign 12 disciples who were his “helpers”. These disciples went around preaching about Jesus and how God is the real God; all the idols and false gods the people around Israel worshiped were fake. One Disciple out of the 12 was named Paul (History).
Paul made a very big impact on his society. "He was active as a missionary in the 40s and 50s

Because Paul was the first to describe and teach about the role of Jesus in the salvation of humanity from sin, he’s known to be the second founder of Christianity. It was due in part to his influence that
Christianity over the course of history has a vast influence on individuals, society and the way believers conduct themselves. It provides morals, practices and ethics that every Christian attempts to live by. Throughout the many denominations in the Christian church, Paul of Tarsus had a significant influence on the faith. His contribution to the development and expression of Christianity is immense and can be seen to stem from his writing and missionary journeys which have implemented his ideas and interpretations onto the development of Christianity. After Jesus, Paul was arguably the most significant figure in Christianity as his teachings form a significant part of the New Testament. Like may other Pharisees of that time in history, Paul sought to suppress the early Christian movement. He accused early Christians of blaspheming against God and breaking Mosaic Law. However, Paul had a life-changing experience when he had a vision of Jesus, and he spent the remainder of his life as a missionary for the early church. Centuries after his ministry, his teachings still influence Christian theology.
The Apostle Paul (formerly Saul) is responsible for the spread of Christianity throughout the areas of Asia Minor and Greece. Through his 3 mission trips to the region Paul created a base of support for the Christian faith and implemented a support strategy for future growth. The time period for his journeys was 45 AD – 58 AD. The story of Paul is interesting from the perspective that the man best known as the author of most of the New Testament started out as a devout Jew and despised the Christian faith. After his conversion he made it his life’s work to spread the Christian message throughout the world. To this end, Paul made several mission trips to the area of Asia Minor and Greece.
Christianity is one of the most influential religions on both ancient and modern Western society, with the religion based on the teachings of the prophet Jesus Christ who lived approximately between the years of 5 BC and 33 AD. It is claimed that Christ was the son of God whose spirit was embodied and sent to Earth as a human being to bring peace and prosperity to the less fortunate, and absolve the world of its sin. Jesus preached a doctrine of a supreme monotheistic god who ruled over the universe, as well as ethics and morals especially centred on the concept of faith and forgiveness. If one was to live their life in accordance to the Will of God and the teachings of Christ found in the written word of the Holy Bible, one would be absolved of their sin and ascend to the spiritual realm of God, known as Heaven, after their physical death.
Saint Paul, originally named Saul, was a crucial part in the development of Christianity. Paul, who was born in Tarsus, Cilicia, grew up Jewish and was trained as a rabbi (Adcock). Paul eventually converted to Christianity, but before he did, the future of the religion was looking very slim. Rome had made it illegal to practice Christianity. Paul was a pious Jew, so his conversion to Christianity surprised many of his followers. They viewed him with much suspicion and treated him with hostility. Paul was dedicated to his new life and made it his mission to spread Christianity throughout the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire and eventually to Rome itself. Paul made two separate journeys throughout the Mediterranean. He preached about the message of Jesus to many and sent his letters to the people he had not visited. Paul saw that his new faith had a message for everything and everyone. By converting to Christianity, St. Paul has saved Christianity from extinction, has written crucial letters about his faith, has preached to hundreds of people, has spread Christianity throughout the Roman Empire, has caused
St Paul made an impact upon Christianity as an Apostle, a theologian and as a letter-writer. Out of the 27 books contained in the bible, Paul wrote a total of 13. Paul’s writings made a significant
