The Converted Pharisee

Paul has been described, rightfully, as a Pharisee's Pharisee. Struck down by a bolt of lightning when he was hunting down Christians to execute them, he was gloriously converted and became the leading evangelist for this new faith called "The Way." He wrote over half the New Testament and personally started 20 churches whose offshoots would rapidly number in the hundreds and, eventually, in the thousands. He made believers in frontier towns, highland villages and farming settlements. He gave most of his time, though, to preaching in the big cities like Corinth, Ephesus and Phillipi. That's where the crowds were. CMA has a tract declaring, about Jesus, "He would have ridden a Harley."
If motorcycles and on-the-spot media had been available to the Apostle Paul, he would have covered the known world at that time and, in his clashes with traditional religion, would have made the evening news every day. Limited to work with what he had, however, he didn't do too bad.
