Shortly after Jesus' death, a pharisee named Saul was hired to persecute the Christians. However, on one of his journies, he was struck blind, and God spoke to him. He told him to stop persecuting his people. After that, Saul changed his name to Paul and went on to write more than half of the New Testament. He became one of the most influential people in the formation of the Christian Church.
