"The Tiber, on entering Rome," writes an ancient poet, "salutes the Basilica of Saint Peter and, on leaving it, that of Saint Paul. The Heavenly Door-Keeper has built his Sacred abode at the Gates of The Eternal City, which is an image of Heaven. On the opposite side, the ramparts of the City are protected by Paul's Portico: Rome is between the two."
With Peter, the new Moses, leader of the new Israel, is associated Paul, the new Aaron, more eloquent than the first, chosen in his mother's womb to announce to the Gentiles the riches of the Grace of Christ (Collect, Gradual, Epistle).

Paul the Apostle, commonly known as Saint Paul, and also known by his Hebrew name, Saul of Tarsus (Hebrew: שאול התרסי), was an Apostle (although not one of The Twelve Apostles) who taught The Gospel of Christ to The First-Century A.D. World.
Paul is generally considered to be one of the most important figures of The Apostolic Age and, from The Mid-30s A.D. to The Mid-50s A.D., he founded several Christian Communities in Asia Minor and Europe. He took advantage of his status as both a Jew and a Roman citizen, to minister to both Jewish and Roman audiences.
According to The New Testament Book “Acts of The Apostles” (often simply called “Acts”), Paul persecuted some of the Early Disciples of Jesus, possibly Hellenised Diaspora Jews converted to Christianity, in the area of Jerusalem prior to his conversion [Note 1].
According to The New Testament Book “Acts of The Apostles” (often simply called “Acts”), Paul persecuted some of the Early Disciples of Jesus, possibly Hellenised Diaspora Jews converted to Christianity, in the area of Jerusalem prior to his conversion [Note 1].
In the narrative of Acts, Paul was travelling on the road from Jerusalem to Damascus on a Mission to “arrest them and bring them back to Jerusalem”, when The Resurrected Jesus appeared to him in a great light. He was struck blind, but, after three days, his sight was restored by Ananias of Damascus, and Paul began to Preach that Jesus of Nazareth is The Jewish Messiah and The Son of God [Acts 9:20–21]. Approximately half of “Acts of The Apostles” deals with Paul's Life and Works.
Thirteen of the twenty-seven Books in The New Testament have Traditionally been attributed to Paul. Seven of The Pauline Epistles are undisputed by scholars as being authentic, with varying degrees of argument about the remainder.
Pauline authorship of The Epistle to The Hebrews is not asserted in The Epistle, itself, and was already doubted in the 2nd- and 3rd-Centuries A.D. [Note 2]. It was almost unquestioningly accepted from the 5th- to the 16th-Centuries that Paul was the author of Hebrews, but that view is now almost universally rejected by scholars.
The other six of The Pauline Epistles are believed by some scholars to have come from followers of Paul, writing in his name, using material from Paul's surviving Letters and Letters written by him that no longer survive [Note 3]. Other scholars argue that the idea of a pseudonymous author for the disputed Epistles raises many problems.
Today, Paul's Epistles continue to be vital roots of the Theology, Worship, and Pastoral Life, in the Latin and Protestant Traditions of The West, as well as the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Traditions of The East.
Paul’s influence on Christian Thought and Practice has been characterised as being as “profound, as it is pervasive”, among that of many other Apostles and Missionaries involved in the spread of The Christian Faith.
