NOTE

From Saul to Paul: A Journey of Transformation

Saul of Tarsus, later known as Paul the Apostle, exemplifies a transition from a devout Pharisee to an influential international missionary in the narrative of the Book of Acts. His dual names—Saul being his Hebrew name and Paul his Greek name—highlight the cultural adaptability often required in cross-cultural interactions. This change is not indicative of a conversion in identity but rather a shift in his role following his encounter with Jesus. Paul’s self-description in his letters illustrates his past adherence to the laws of the Torah, emphasizing his dedication and blamelessness in Jewish law prior to his transformative experience. This narrative transition serves as a device to showcase his evolution while maintaining his core beliefs.
