In this episode, we begin our deep dive into how Acts of the Apostles presents St. Paul. From his early role in the persecution of Christians to his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, Luke traces Paul's transformation into a passionate preacher of Christ. We explore the early missionary journeys of Paul, his complex relationship with Jewish law, his tensions with Barnabas, and his initial struggles in cities like Athens and Corinth. Along the way, we examine how Acts sometimes smooths over conflicts recorded in Paul's own letters, offering a theological portrait of a man willing to become "all things to all people" for the sake of the Gospel.

Join us as we follow Paul's bold steps across the ancient world—and stay tuned for Part B, where we continue with his ministry in Ephesus and beyond.
