St. Paul, previously named Saul, originally was a Jew and did all he could to persecute the early Christians. After his conversion, he became the Apostle of the Gentiles(non-Jews). He preached the gospel to them and fought for their rights. Other apostles felt that gentiles could not become Christians unless they first became Jews. He got that rule changed. He is responsible for writing the larger part of the New Testament. He was eventually arrested for being a Christian and taken to Rome where he was put on trial and beheaded.
