Paulo: trajetória e aspectos teológicos

Abstract

Paul is a person of great relevance for Christianity, with a life story that has enriched Christians and non-Christians for two thousand years. However, to speak of Paul in the Christian churches has become routine and sometimes boring and repetitive. Therefore, it is important to redefine Paul, study his life and his letters. And, despite the vast literature which deals with aspects of the life and theology of Paul, this is a fascinating and almost inexhaustible subject. In this way, the goal of this paper is to outline a historical line about some points of Paul’s trajectory, from his family origins, education, infancy and adolescence passing through his conversion and missionary travels, up to his imprisonments and death, as well as dealing with his theology. In the conclusion of this paper one must highlight Paul’s dedication to propagating the Gospel to distant peoples, being considered by many authors as the Gospel trailblazer.
