Bible Question: How did Paul die? A recent tv documentary said something about him never being martyred (which I thought he had been), and possibly living to be an older an. Could you provide this information, i.e. scripture verse, documentaries or whatever can help to know this? Thanks much. |
Bible Answer: Marj, Secular TV documentaries are not my favored source for information about Christianity or Church history. Tradition based on the early Church Fathers indicate that St Paul was martyred at Rome at about the same time as St Peter. It also holds that the conclusion of Acts with Paul in Rome ended in his aquital and it was during a second later period of captivity that he was executed during the reign of Nero. Here is a link with a rather entensive article about St Paul that covers his whole life and the sources of information. You may wish to scroll down to the heading about the end of his life. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11567b.htm Emmaus |
