Paul’s Far-reaching Impact
Starting as Christianity’s fiercest opponent, Paul became its most influential missionary after a dramatic conversion near Damascus. His intellectual background and Roman citizenship opened doors throughout the empire, while his letters shaped Christian theology for centuries. He established churches across Asia Minor and Greece, tackling complex theological issues along the way. According to Eusebius, Nero’s persecution finally caught up with him, leading to his beheading in Rome around 64-67 AD.
