Religion and Theology

This dissertation is about the life and works of Saint Paul the Apostle, especially focused on his holy journeys, based chiefly from the holy book, the Bible. His character as a person and as an Apostle was first introduced. The controversial beginnings of St. Paul until the time that he was baptized were also given light during the first part.

The researcher examined the first, second and third journey of St. Paul his itinerary and his teachings and discourses. The first was more of an assessment of how an Apostle could spread the Holy Gospel of God, and spread also the faith for Jesus Christ. His companions, Barnabas and Timothy, and St. Paul himself faced numerous trials and hardships in their journey to spread the Word of God. But God himself will never leave His collaborators for hardships. After all, they were able to complete the voyage and finish the first of several journeys. Subsequently, Paul would continue on the second voyage within a short period of time. Again, trials and hardships will be faced by Paul and his coworkers, but still be able to spread the faith to the brethren garnering warmest welcome from the new brethren. Still, it would not be enough for Paul, and thus would set for another journey to further spread the faith and the Gospel. This would translate to the third voyage which as usual, would be full of the tests and difficulties for the poor Apostle. Nevertheless, the Apostle amidst of the trials would succeed and finish this journey.

This dissertation clearly speaks of the wonders that Paul had made on his stay on earth. He had converted numerous Christians whom all showed great acceptance and faith to God. The sacrifices and burdens of the Apostle were also presented throughout until his days of persecution. The Apostle had showed grace and faithfulness to God the moment he had embraced the Gospel. His last days on earth as well as the works that he had done throughout the different territories on earth mostly on Europe and Asia were given accounts as well. All his journeys would take years to reach conclusion and would obviously take toll on the ageing Apostle, however, St. Paul would still find the power and guidance from the God himself and would be able to face even the most impossible hindrances coupled with the corruption of evils.
