#53 - Paul the Zealot? - Sea of Galilee (pt. 16) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

We know from Paul's statements that he acted 'zealously' regarding the Torah and resorted to violence against the early Christians.

But what about Paul's upbringing? What are the factors in his upbringing that would have led to this type of behavior?In this video, we explore some of the factors in Paul's background. In particular, we look at his parents and a comment about Paul's parents from the early Church scholar Jerome.

Join us as we take this ever so brief look at Paul through the lens of 'Zealot.'
