Frequently Asked Questions

How many epistles (letters) did Paul write that are included in the New Testament?+

Thirteen epistles are traditionally attributed to Paul: Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. However, scholars debate the authorship of some (Ephesians, Colossians, and the Pastoral Epistles), with some viewing them as written by Paul's disciples in his tradition. All thirteen are included in the biblical canon.

What was Paul's relationship to the stoning of Stephen, and how did this affect his early life?+

Paul (then called Saul) was present at and approved of Stephen's execution, holding the coats of those who stoned him (Acts 7:58-8:1). This was part of his early persecution of the church before his dramatic conversion on the Damascus Road. This radical transformation from persecutor to apostle remains one of the most significant conversions in Christian history.

Why did Paul and Barnabas separate before Paul's second missionary journey?+

Paul and Barnabas had a sharp disagreement over whether to take John Mark with them on the second journey (Acts 15:36-40). Barnabas wanted to include Mark, but Paul refused because Mark had abandoned them during the first journey. Their disagreement was so serious that they parted ways, with Barnabas taking Mark to Cyprus and Paul traveling with Silas through Syria and Cilicia.
