IF you took all the books written about St Pawl placed them end,to end,you could walk directlyto the new Jerusalem.


Six interesting statements about  San Pawl .
  1. Paul's writings occupy less than 90 pages in most translation of the Bible, yet they have per page, generated sermons, books, monographs, further journal articles than any other writings from  ancient world....maybe Not however
  2. The ancient writer Strabo writes first century AD Tarsus surpassed Athens and Alexandria as seat of learning known for its schools of philosophy plus rhetoric.
  3. Paul's 'zeal' is not simply 'enthusiasm'. 'Zeal' recalls the efforts of Phineas who killed an Israelite and his Midianite mistress in their flagrant disobedience (Num 25:11).
  4. Paul downplayed his oratorical abilities. 2 Corinthians 10:10, addresses people who think that he didn't have much charisma and was a second-rate speaker.
  5. Paul spent three years in Arabia between his conversion and the launching of his ministry. little is known about what he did during that time, remaining a mystery, visiting Mount Sinai he recalled,ministry of Elijah who went to Mount Sinai to 'do business' with Israel's God.
Paul's family shows up in the book of Acts. In fact, his nephew saved him from an assassination attempt (Acts 23:16-17)!I did not know that takes a bit of research plus perhaps some expert knowledge.
some people make a living investigating and writing great deal of boring reflections about San Pawl.
They are so gifted they write under two names ...one name for the pleds...that you and me...one name for the academics.
They believe that this behaviour is not stupid but intelligent.
Having met odd writer they are not very good at communicating one to one.
IF
 you took all the books written about St Pawl you could walk directly to the new Jerusalem.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
