Editing Saint Paul (section)

== Why Paul? ==
Jesus called Paul "a chosen instrument of mine" ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/9?15 Acts 9:15]).  

Paul was the perfect vehicle for the Lord's purposes:

* Affirm the New Covenant ("Testament")
* Clarify the New Covenant for the Jews, Gentiles and Christians
* Spread the Gospel across the Roman Empire and beyond
* Establish and guide the new Churches and communities

And, Paul was beyond smart. His logic is impeccable, his arguments deep, and his faith is unimpeachable.
