Saint Paul Born in Tarsus, Cilicia, to Jewish parents, with a Roman citizen's father and perhaps prescient as to religion, Apostolos Paul was taught the Greek language and came into with the thought and culture of Hellenism. He became a student of Gamaliel by learning in depth Jewish Theology. He is referred to as a cruel persecutor of Christianity until Christ himself appeared before him on his way to Damascus, where he was convinced that Christ was resurrected and taken up as Lord in the heavens. He became a writer of the haters from the books of the New Testament and became an advocate and supporter of the universality of Jesus ’ teaching. According to tradition, Paul was beheaded (66 or 68 C.E.) without suffering, for the law prohibited the torture of Roman citizens. He is regarded as the first Christian theologian, the first after One.
