New Testament

Fourteen days driven before a storm, 276 people saved, and a snake on Malta. Then two years under guard in Rome, where Acts stops mid-sentence on purpose.

A false rumour started a riot, Roman soldiers pulled him out of a lynching, and two years of custody followed. The arrest that carried him to Caesar in Rome.

His longest stay anywhere, in the occult capital of Asia, ending in a riot by silversmiths whose trade was collapsing. Plus the letters written along the way.

A quarrel, a vision, and the gospel crossing into Europe. Philippi, Athens, Corinth, and the inscription that anchors the whole chronology of Paul's life.

Cyprus, Galatia, a stoning, and then the meeting that decided whether Gentile converts had to become Jews. The journey that forced the Jerusalem Council.

Acts tells the Damascus story three times, then skips roughly a decade in a verse. What happened on the road, and what happened during the years nobody records.

A Hebrew of Hebrews, a Greek-speaking citizen of a university city, and a Roman citizen from birth. Three worlds in one man, and he used all three later.
