使徒圣保罗(10年～67?年)
Paul, St.，原名Saul。
基督教早期的传教士和神学家，非犹太人称之为使徒。出生於小亚细亚的塔尔苏斯，为犹太人，原被训练为拉比，但後来以制作帐篷维生。他是热诚的法利赛派，曾迫害第一批基督教徒，直到他有一次在大马士革途中见到耶稣的幻影，才转而皈依基督教。三年後他遇见圣彼得和耶稣的兄弟雅各，此後被认为是第十三使徒。他从基地安条克出发，开始四处旅行，向非犹太人传教。藉着主张基督的非犹太规定不必遵守犹太法律，有助於让基督教成为一个独立的宗教，而非犹太教的支派。在前往耶路撒冷途中，他引起犹太人的敌意，致使暴民聚集起来将他逮捕并囚禁了两年。他的死亡情况不明。保罗的职务和观点大致见於《新约》中所收集的书信或使徒书信，这本书是基督教第一部神学着作，也是基督教许多教条的出处。基督教成为世界性宗教，最要归功於保罗。

10年～67?年
Paul, St.
Early Christian missionary and theologian, known as the Apostle to the gentiles. Born a Jew in Tarsus, Asia Minor, he was trained as a rabbi but earned his living as a tentmaker. A zealous Pharisee, he persecuted the first Christians until a vision of Jesus, experienced while on the road to Damascus, converted him to Christianity. Three years later he met St. Peter and Jesus' brother James, and was henceforth recognized as the 13th Apostle. From his base in Antioch, he traveled widely preaching to the gentiles. By asserting that non-Jewish disciples of Christ did not have to observe Jewish law, he helped to establish Christianity as a separate religion rather than a Jewish sect. On a journey to Jerusalem, he aroused such hostility among the Jews that a mob gathered, and he was arrested and imprisoned for two years. The circumstances of his death are unknown. Paul's ministry and religious views are known largely from his letters, or epistles, collected in the New Testament, which are the first Christian theological writing and the source of much Christian doctrine. It was due to Paul more than anyone else that Christianity became a world religion.
