Paul was Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee. When he was born, his parents gave him the name Saul (a strong Jewish name) and he was also know by his Roman name Paul. When Paul grew up, he was a tentmaker by profession. The letter, or epistles, of St. Paul make up one-third of the New Testament. Fourteen letters are attributed to Paul: Romans 1 and 2, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon. Paul was beheaded between A.D. 65 and 67, outside the walls of Rome during the reign of Nero. Tradition has always maintained that Paul was buried where the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls now stands. Current archaeological evidence confirms this tradition; the chapel of relics in the basilica contains a set of chains said to be those which bound Paul in the last days before his execution.

As a Roman citizen, Paul could not be crucified no stoned, the two most common means of execution, but rather was accorded the “honor” of being beheading by sword. The book represents his epistles.
