He lived in the second half of the first century A.D. and wrote many of the letters that became books in the New Testament. His story is told in the book of Acts. He was a devout Jew (a Pharisee) who was ferocious in persecuting Christians in the first years of the early church. After his conversion, he became a fearless witness of the power of Christ and an intelligent apologist for the Gospel. He was beaten, stoned, flogged, arrested, and thrown in prison for his faith, but he was not deterred. At the end of his life he was imprisoned in Rome, where, according to tradition, he was martyred under Nero.
