Operation Messiah St Paul, Roman Intelligence

Most people are taught the same cluster of 'historical facts' about Saul of Tarsus, the Jew with Roman citizenship who was a Pharisee and a tent-maker. On his way to Damascus to continue his persecution of the followers of Jesus, he experienced a vision of Jesus. From then on he became a missionary named Paul, spreading the message of Christianity. He was sent to Jerusalem for trial by the Romans, but asked to be tried in Rome. He spent two years in the capital under arrest until he was executed under Nero around AD 67.
