Overview

Paul of Tarsus, in ancient sources

Paul of Tarsus is mentioned only in Christian tradition, which has handed down a group of letters written by, or attributed to, him. He is also one of the major characters, if not the protagonist, of the Acts of Apostles.

Paul is briefly referred to also in 1 Clement, Ignatius of Antioch's letter, Polycarp's letter to the Philippians (early 2nd century).

In Martyrdom of Polycarp (12:2), the same words uttered by the people to Paul: "This one is the teacher of Asia, the father of the Christians, the destroyer of our gods, who teaches many not to sacrifice nor to worship." (Acts 16:20-21) are repeated by "the entire crowd of heathen and Jews who lived in Smyrna" in reference to Polycarp.
