Ministermay, It's actually a misconception that Saul changed his name completely to Paul. We can note in Acts 13:9 that Luke records that Saul is also known as Paul, but not that Saul completely dropped his Hebrew name. Paul was most likely still known as Saul among the Jews. According to Zondervan's Bible Dictionary, having a Jewish and non Jewish name was a common practice among Jews of the dispersion. Our information on Paul comes from Luke who wrote mostly to Gentiles it seems, and to Paul who almost preached exclusively to Gentiles. So in turn, Paul is the name that is used in more frequency. |
