Who was St Paul and why was he crucial to the early spread of the gospel? We explore the Man and the Mission, the power of his Letters to the churches he founded throughout the Roman Empire, and his relevance today.
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38
In this section devoted to St. Paul, his life and letters, Fr John Deehan and Professor Susan Docherty help us to understand who Paul was and the context in which he lived. They shed light on how his conversion shaped his faith, his extensive mission and the letters he wrote. Paul was crucial to the early spread of the gospel.
