St Paul the Traveller and the Roman Citizen
William Mitchell Ramsay, one of the twentieth century’s foremost scholars on the early church, here uncovers the real story of St Paul. Although Paul was never one of the original Twelve Apostles he used his status as a Jew and a Roman to talk to wide audiences across the Mediterranean and brought Christianity to a larger number of people in the 1st century AD. Using archaeological evidence to further understand the writings of the New Testament allows Ramsay to gain a new layer of meaning behind Paul’s work.
