Thesis Statement: The Apostle Paul shaped the mold of an Apostle. Introduction: This paper is on the Apostle Paul, who has an incredible story, and happens to be one of my favorite people from the Bible ( which is why I chose him ). This Apostle did some cruel things to God 's people. He did these things out of religiousness, and the fact that he didn 't have a true relationship with Jesus. I have 3 main points in this research paper, and the first one will be titled ' ' life before Christ ' '. This will discuss/ inform the reader on the Apostle Paul 's life before Christ.

All in Acts chapter 7 we see the death of Stephen. In Acts 7:57- 8:2, it speaks of Saul watching over as Stephen was executed. Many other times, situations happened just like this one. Many more were executed under the authority of Saul. I don’t say what I am saying to bash Paul or make less of him, but only to show you his life before Christ.

He caused problems for every church, drug people out of their houses, and imprisoned them. All of that was done because of those people spreading the Gospel. If Saul could have seen his future he would have had to kill himself for the same thing. Funny how

As a man who used to be a Jesus hater, not a follower, Paul spent most of his life following Christianity. “He spent the next 30 years traveling the eastern Mediterranean world, spreading Jesus’s teachings” (Doc F). The dedication of Paul’s teaching spread all over the Roman Empire. Traveling from Siden to Myra, all the way to Rome, Paul’s dedication greatly affected the way Christianity spread. Other early Christians also showed commitment and loyalty, even if their life was at stake.

Paul indicates that after becoming a soldier, “they” took everything from him, such as his friends and the life he once had. He has nothing else to give and feels all alone, the life sucked out of him. The book comes to an end with a semi-epilogue, in which Paul has been shot dead. “[Paul’s] face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end has come” (Remarque 296). Paul has gone through many hardships and although his ending wasn’t particularly merry, it seemed as if he was content with dying.

Paul, unlike many other, was calm. You can never feel the sense of fear or irritation about him throughout the book; his writing was always beautiful and compelling although he was suffering from the pain due to the lung cancer.
