Paul the Apostle, known in the western world and as Saint Paul born Saul, (Tarsus, Cilicia early 1st century (5-15 AD) – Rome 66-68 AD), was an Apostle and author of about half books of the New Testament. He was one of the most important figures of the early days of Christianity, a supporter of the universality of the Teaching of Jesus.
For this reason, he received the name “Apostle of the nations”. He embraced Christianity after the death and resurrection of Jesus and became one of its leaders, playing a key role in its spread beyond the borders of Judaism, so that it became a universal religion.
