Saint Paul (c.3 A.D.-c.67 A.D.) Apostle of Christianity, born at Tarsus, in Cilicia. "According to tradition he suffered martyrdom along with other Christians, who were charged unjustly with aiding to burn Rome in the time of Nero. He is regarded by all Christian sects as the most eminent advocate of early Christianity." (The Teachers' and Pupils' Cyclopædia, Vol. III, Kansas City: Bufton Book Co., 1909, 1380-1381.)
