Paul's Life and His World

Wright’s Paul: A fresh perspective whereby Paul is defined as an occupant in three realms; Greek, Roman and Jewish (Wright 3-20). Apparently, Paul stays both a multifarious person, with respect to the prehistoric world, as well as among the few individuals of the ancient world who demonstrated such complexity. Besides, as a native of two cities, numerous issues regarding the Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures resonate all through Paul’s letters that greatly influenced His life through varied cultures, ethnicities and religious dimensions. Traditionally, Paul was brought up in diaspora Judaism such that His birth right is from a Jewish family but never lived in his homeland, rather in Greek city. Among the many factors that influenced his life was the prophetic ministry in both the Jewish and the Greco-Roman cultures.
