Dr John Pilch, professor at Georgetown University, utilizing his lifetime of research and years of teaching experience examines the impact of Paul as a world-class agent of change. Paul, convinced of his call coming directly from God stepped onto the world stage and became an instrument for change in the religious perspectives of humanity. He proclaimed with absolute conviction that Jesus was risen from the dead and therefore must be the Messiah. He then organized and developed faith communities around this notion. These loving communities in turn spread this new faith even farther. Change agents need a variety of skills and talents to move families, organizations or cultures in new directions. Paul had all of these plus t he unique graces given to him to spread this Good News to lost sheep of Israel. His preaching, teaching, travel and most of all his writings that are a key element in the New Testament have in truth changed the world for the better. This presentation will give the listener new insights into Paul’s role in his time and will help the listener understand the role that change agents play today in the development of humanity and culture.
