In what year was Saint Paul born?
The Apostle Paul was born a Jew in Tarsus, as Saul, a Roman citizen, about the same time of Christ’s birth. He was met on the Road to Damascus c. 34 AD, in a blinding light, by the risen Christ, who asked Saul why He was persecuting Him. Saul had sought to destroy Christianity, but was converted by Christ, whom He served the remainder of his life to c. 67 AD. Christ ultimately named him Paul after he was called as a missionary to the Gentiles.
