Paul was originaly called Saul of Tarsus. Prior to his conversion on the road to "Damascus" (Acts 9) Saul was "a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless." (Philippeans 3:5b-6) He hated Christians and was terribly persecuting them. (Saul was "in hearty agreement" with the stoning of Stephen.) After his conversion Paul became one of the leading evangelists, going on missonary Journeys to the gentiles. Paul wrote 13 books of the Bible: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon.
