Finally, the paper gives many examples of Paul's devotion to Jesus Christ and details the many times that he was imprisoned for his refusal to stop preaching the Gospel.

From the Paper
"If I had to rate all of the Apostles of the Bible on a scale from one to ten, I would give the Apostle Paul a fifteen. He was an Apostle among Apostles, a Christian among Christian, a powerful and influential man of God whose witness and message pierced the hearts of people everywhere to the core. When I think of the Apostle Paul and hear about his Holy Spirit filled power, I see in my mind a tall, handsome, and strong man, but interestingly enough, Paul was not much to look at. Paul was said to be a small and feeble man, near sighted, partially bald, eyes set close together, and his nose was somewhat crooked (All the Apostles 204). His unappealing looks aside, he mesmerized the hearers of his message with his fire of faith and zeal that flashed and flared in his eyes, this is why he is known as the greatest of Christians and profoundest of teachers (All the Apostles 205).

Abstract
This paper examines who the apostle Paul was, from his beginnings as the Jewish Pharisee, Saul of Tarsus, to his dramatic Damascus road conversion experience, to his profound spiritual insight as a man who walked in the spirit realm. Paul's mysticism is discussed.

From the Paper
"The apostle Paul was a man who embodied the Christian experience before Christ had even been crucified. Starting out life as Saul the Pharisee, a self-confessed enemy of Christians, Paul had a life-changing experience on the road to Damascus and converted to Christianity, becoming the very picture of how even the most contrary sinner can be changed through an encounter with the Lord. Once converted, Paul became one of the most committed Christians in Jesus' time, preaching the Gospel and enduring imprisonment at Rome..."

From the Paper
"As a messenger of the gospel, Paul viewed his mission as a great privilege. He also thought that the Jews had missed the rights and opportunities to be a messenger. Israel was to be God's messenger of good news for the world. The good news of God's grace was to be proclaimed among the Gentiles, by the Jews. This did not happen. Not only did the Jews reject the message and the Messenger, they rejected their calling to be a messenger as well. In the text of Isaiah, it is God who speaks saying, "Here I am." In Isaiah 52:7, the messenger is singular, "the feet of him." In Paul's citation, the messengers are plural. When Paul speaks of the messengers being sent, he wants the people to understand that God Himself, not the church, is sending the messengers of the gospel."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the various aspects of lighting, form, movement, texture, and volumetric in this formal analysis of the "Apostle" and "Madonna and Child". The paper discusses how by understanding the means in which limestone makes such detail possible in sculpture, the highly detailed relief of the chisel work reflects a divinity of lighting and movement for these religious icons. The paper looks at how the textural application of these sculptures identifies them as decorative embellishments for greater architectural form.

From the Paper
"In the New Testament, Peter the Apostle is one of the most significant of Jesus' twelve apostles.

From the Paper
"Paul has often been credited with making sure that the Christian faith became a universal faith. While there were many important names in the bible who helped to create the foundational universal nature of the Christian faith, Paul traveled the world to do it and the fact that he had been a rabbi gave his word a significant amount of creditability during the process. "
"Another contributor to the great significance that Apostle Paul had when it came to the Christian faith was his writing ability. While many of the Lord's followers were able to produce speeches and talks that were guided by the Lord, Paul had an extremely talented writing ability. This was during a time in which educated people who could write well were highly regarded, respected and revered. Paul was one of those people so much so that even from his house arrest status and his time in jail he was able to write down the things that he wanted the world to know about the Christian faith and have it spread in that manner .

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth exploration of the role of the Apostles after Christ's resurrection. The author details 'The Acts' and its teachings, which marked the beginning of Christianity. The Apostles' goals in the aftermath of Christ's death and resurrection and the roles they played in shaping the development of Christianity is examined in detail. Some of the topics discussed include the sins of the people, the life of Saul, who became Paul, and many of the issues surrounding Baptism and the occurrence of miracles.

From the Paper
"As well the apostles are required to help the world understand the teachings of Christ and to encourage them to carry forward the word of the Lord themselves, that is, in order to be converted and Saved. To that end, Peter performs a miracle, and both he and John preach the word of God to the people; as a result, the people begin to sell their possessions and give their lives over to Christ. An enraged Jewish authority then arrest the apostles for their heresies about resurrection and their apparent threat to what the authorities would have felt was their own just and rightful leadership. The apostles proclaimed Christ to be the one true power, and though the authorities were swayed by their "notable miracle" (4:16), they chose to contain their voices by commanding them not to speak, nor teach, the Word of the Lord. Of course, the apostles would return to their teachings in the temple, performing miracles, and would again face conflict with the authorities."
