In this lesson, we take A Closer Look at Paul. Paul was the second most noteworthy figure in the history of Christianity next to Jesus. He is acclaimed as the greatest missionary of all times. He wrote one quarter of the New Testament. Nearly two-thirds of the Book of Acts tells his story. Paul allowed the Holy Spirit to refine his natural abilities. He did not put his confidence in his personal history, abilities, social class, education or whom he knew. He placed his confidence in his God.
