WHO WAS S. PAUL?

WHAT KIND OF A MAN, AND HOW GREAT?

Eight gifts and extraordinary prerogatives should be considered and admired in S. Paul. First, his honorable descent and talent; second, his marvelous vocation and grace; third, his uncommon wisdom; fourth, his heroic virtues; fifth, his efficacious, fruitful evangelization; sixth, his illustrious martyrdom; seventh, his miracles, and eighth, his fame and glory.

CHAPTER ONE

Paul’s descent and talent

With regard to the first, Paul was born of noble Jewish stock, of the tribe of Benjamin. S. Jerome (De Scripturis Ecclesiasticis 15) seems to relate that Paul was born in Gischala, a town in Judaea; when it was captured by the Romans, he emigrated with his parents to Tarsus in Cilicia. But the same S. Jerome, in his Epistle to Philemon, calls this tradition a fable, and truly it is a fable. For it is certain that Paul was born, not in Gischala, but in Tarsus. He himself declares it: “I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia” (Acts 22:3).
