"GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The last days of Saint Paul are somewhat ambiguous as presented in the Acts of the Apostles. However, this essay takes the position that Paul was imprisoned twice in Rome, although it might be more accurate to say Paul's incarceration was in two separate stages. The accounts of these events in the New Testament are unclear and incomplete.
There are two basic traditions concerning Paul's final mission on this earth. One tradition holds that at his trial in Rome, Paul was acquitted. When Paul was released, he began his travels again, only to be re-arrested. This tradition claims Paul journeyed as far as Spain. Another tradition says Paul was condemned at his Roman trial and then executed by the swift stroke of a sword. The last version of Paul's later years and ..."

Abstract
This paper explains Paul's theory that Jesus's sacrifice on the cross rendered Mosaic Law invalid. It suggests that the formation of this idea was the fundamental break between Christianity and Judaism.
From the Paper
"This philosophic shift of thought both made the Jesus sect that emphasized Jesus' life rather than his words more important in the Early Christian tradition as well as heralded a radical break between Christianity and the world that provided the fertile religious soil of thought from which it sprung."

Introduction
His Life
Significance of Paul
Conclusion
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 .

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."

From the Paper
"The Pauline tradition begins with the man, Saul of Tarsus. His story is told to us in the Acts of the Apostles, with its dramatic conversion scene. Paul's story is of transformation from hater and persecutor of Christians to the foremost apostle of Christ in the new millennium.
Who is Paul in the New Testament? There continues to be controversy about his contribution to the New Testament canon. Luke Johnson (1986) noted that there are at least three major issues that relate to Paul. The first basic issue is the question of where is the real Paul located. In which of the letters is the voice that of Paul, in which instances is the voice that of his followers? This is the question of authenticity, which is fundamentally irresolvable. It requires almost a prior decision about who Paul is in order to determine..."

From the Paper
"Formerly Saul of Tarsus, a well-educated Pharisaic Jew who persecuted the early Christian churches, which he considered blasphemous, Paul the Apostle converted to Christianity after direct divine intervention. Having seen and heard the arisen Jesus, Paul rejected his former views to become among the most significant proselytizers of the early Christian church. Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, created several Christian communities in Asia Minor and Greece. Paul?s letters, canonical writings of the New Testament, demonstrate his commitment to permanently influencing the communities so that the new converts would adopt practices that Paul considered correct. Of course, Paul?s need to exert influence against competing Christian practices demonstrates that early Christian practice was neither well defined nor monolithic. Paul?s writings substantively influenced these early Christian communities, and his theology, which preaches Christ crucified, facilitated the growth of Christianity as a religion. Paul is best understood, therefore, as a missionary who advanced Christians? understanding of the significance of Jesus, and not as the founder of a new ?Paulist? version of Christianity."

From the Paper
"In the New Testament, Peter the Apostle is one of the most significant of Jesus' twelve apostles. Simon ben Jonah is Peter's original name but when Jesus encountered Simon and his brother fishing, he said Thou art Simon the son of Jona thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter. There are numerous mentions of Peter, later Saint Peter, during his apostolic life in the New Testament Gospels and Acts. It is in ... "

It discusses this aspect of Paul?s Christianity together with specific aspects of the apocalypse that Paul deals with in his writings.

Outline
The End of the World (1 Cor. 15)
The Resurrection (1 Cor 15 continued)
The Restoration of the World (Romans 8)
The Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4)
From the Paper
"First, the end of the world as depicted by Paul in his first epistle to the Corinthians (Chapter 15:20-28) is considered. This is a celebration of God, who will come and reign over everything and everyone. Secondly, and closely related to this is Paul?s view of the resurrection (1Cor15:20-28), during which the earth and human beings are made new to conform to the spiritual realm. Thirdly Paul?s description of the restoration of the world in Romans 8:18-25 is considered. Here the premise is the hope that every Christian lives in that the suffering experienced in the world will end in glory. Finally, the way in which Paul deals with the coming of Christ in his first epistle to the Thessalonians (Chapter 4:13-18) is considered. Here Paul continues the theme of hope in terms of being reunited with those who have passed away."

Character Sketch of Paul in Willa Cather's "Paul's Case", 2000.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Paul's character in Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" by focusing on three of his attributes: 1) his tendency to be very self-oriented and separated from the others around him 2) his over-concern for all things that glitter and 3) his damaged psyche.
From the Paper
"In Willa Cather?s story ?Paul?s Case?, the character Paul embodied the Calvinist household in which he was raised in. Paul is a very self-oriented and introverted boy whose every action is designed and calculated to prevent others from seeing the real him. Paul is also a person who is overly concerned with money, wealth, and glamour; all which he believes will take him to the top and get him off Cordelia Street, which he despises with a passion. Paul is also under all of his mental armor, is scared, scarred and mentally damaged by his father and by his teachers so much that he can no longer go on living."

Homosexuality in the Bible, 2004.
Examines how homosexuality is portrayed in the Bible and the views of Paul the Apostle on the subject.
1,136 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 39.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the origins of homosexuality in ancient Biblical texts, beginning with its original reference in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the book of Genesis. The paper discusses the comparison between the Old and New Testaments, showing how the rise of the Roman world affected the writings of the New Testament. It focuses, in particular, on the writings of the apostle, Paul, who held strong views on the subject.
From the Paper
"In contrast, Victor Paul Furnish provides another angle to this topic, for he propounds that Paul the Apostle, in relation to the traditions by which he was influenced during his life, "saw the wickedness of homosexual practice (as a) perversion of the natural order" and adds that Paul "doubtless regarded such behavior as a matter of deliberate choice born of an insatiable sexual appetite" (156). In any case, it is abundantly clear that Paul, like his fellow Christians, condemned the practice of homosexuality, due mostly to the fact that it went against current moral precepts and guaranteed that those who practiced this sexual act would never enter into the kingdom of God as a disciple of the teachings of Jesus Christ."

The Bible: Paul's Letter to the Philippians, 2008.
Looks at the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians, one of the most powerful and evocative addresses found in the New Testament.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians. In particular, the paper discusses the author, the circumstances and historical period surrounding the writing of the letter , the culture of the age, the main themes and characters mentioned by Paul in his epistle and why they are important. The paper also examines the "then and there" meaning of the text, the "here and now" meaning as it is read in the twenty-first century and its impact on the author. The paper suggests that Paul's letter captures the spirit of his time, the pressures under which he and the church labored, and the high expectations all Christians are expected to satisfy. The paper concludes that the letter is a didactic bit of prose defining true Christian leadership.
From the Paper
"Scanning over Paul's letter, it is manifest that the "then and there" meaning was to give praise to his followers while simultaneously admonishing them to not fall into the bad ways of others. In a related vein, Paul's sharp criticism of the Pharisees exposes his contempt for the non-believers and it would seem he uses them as an example of individuals who fail to value the word of God, preferring somehow to believe that they know better than the teachings of Christ."

Messages from James and Paul, 2006.
This paper examines the different messages from James and Paul and Paul's ideas of resurrection.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the relatively short chapter of James, when compared to the longer writings of Paul to the Romans, appears to illustrate many dividing messages from the early church. The more prolific author, Paul, conveys a much more political agenda, speaking decisively regarding Jews, Gentiles and the Law, while James instead focuses on the importance of actions in faith, writing for "all God's people scattered over the whole world." The paper explains that as these two authors are writing for different audiences, they write with particular purposes. The paper discusses how the letter of James looks closely at specific practices of the Christian beliefs, illustrating how faith is meant to properly be put into action.
