Paul's Third Journey
In the above picture, I drew several symbols representing Paul’s third journey. The map shows his path during it, the burning scroll symbolize the converts in Ephesus burning their scrolls, the ship shows the way Paul traveled for some of his journey, and the crowd represents the riots in Ephesus.

It is clear that Paul’s third journey was a success. He converted countless people into People of the Way, spreading Jesus’ good news far and wide across the Eastern area of the Roman Empire. He started in Corinth, then he sailed to Ephesus (stopping on the way in Cenchreae to get his hair cut in accordance with one of his vows), then he sailed to Syria, arriving in Caesarea, then traveling to Jerusalem and Antioch, and then traveling by land through the region of Galatia and Phrygia (modern day Turkey) followed by his returned back to Ephesus(Acts 18:18-19:1), and after …show more content…
During this journey, Paul was trying his hardest to convert the people who lived in Asia Minor, preaching and debating at the lecture hall of Tyrannus (in Ephesus) every day for two years, making sure Jesus’ message could be heard by as many people as possible. Paul’s third journey was a resounding success. First of all, no one got murdered or beaten up for once, in fact the only person who gets beaten up is a Jewish Chief Priest (and his companions) who attempts to use Jesus’ name to banish a demon who then attacks him (and his companions). The other (more significant) aspects of the journey that made it a success were that “all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord” (Acts 19:10) and “the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor” (Acts 19:17). It is

    The Homosexual Motif In Paul's Case

    “Paul’s Case” written by Willa Cather not only offers an entertaining read with content which at first glance can come off as merely a story, but when read closely it becomes evident that there are substantial themes being explored through Cather’s protagonist, Paul, along with his predicament. Paul, a young boy living on Cordelia Street, a place that quite inordinately contradicts his frequent exotic fantasies, sets course toward tragedy when he begins to realize he can no longer remain within the rigid dimensions set by his community’s perception of social norms. Set in a Pittsburg town made up of cookie cutter homes, and where the children attend Sabbath school on a regular basis, Paul stands out with great conspicuity. One cannot help but…

    Methuselah Character Analysis

    This changed when Paul was walking down a road one day and was struck by a bolt of lighting and left with an image of Christ seared into his mind. Left blind by the ordeal for three days, he soon had his vision restored. Paul began preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ after the event, turning from his dogmatic Judaism to reaffirming claims about Jesus being the true son of God. Paul goes on to preach to the non-jewish Gentiles who would spread his Gospels later on. Best described as a “Hebrew born of Hebrews” turned devout Christian, Paul is depicted as transforming from intolerant to open-minded and venerated by…

    Paul's Case

    Several examples of symbolism are represented in Cather’s story. For example, Paul often wears a red carnation on his shirt. These flowers represent Paul himself. Early in the story Paul wears a red carnation when he talks with his teachers. They see this as him being rebellious, and they would be correct in their assumption. We see the flowers again at the end of the story. By this time the weather is cold and Paul’s flowers have died. Also, Paul buries the flower in the ground before he jumps in front of the train. This is meant to briefly foreshadow that he is going to kill himself. Cather’s use of color is probably the strongest symbol in the story. Its affect on the mood of the characters is evident as well. We connect the color yellow with the fact that Paul cannot stand his home. He doesn’t like to think of returning to his room and staring at the yellow wallpaper. Later in the story, when Paul is at the hotel, he associates the color red to the man at the desk. He has a red face and a red mouth which are meant to give us a window into his former life. As in many stories, rich and wealthy people are often found wearing the color purple. He also orders purple flowers for his room at the hotel to feed his lie about being rich himself. Paul is represented by the colors blue and white. He obviously has some emotional issues and these show in his pale face. On the opposite end of the spectrum, white can be a positive color for him. Snow is often present when he is happy. Blue is much more popular than white in the story. The veins on Paul’s face are blue. Paul obsesses over the blue Venetian and the blue Rico, and listens to the Blue Danube. He also mentions a blue sea that he wants to be carried into. Paul talks about the theater being a “bit of blue-and-white Mediterranean shore,” and we’re also told he pictures the sea before he gets hit by the train. Food is also a popular symbol throughout “Paul’s Case.” The…

    Paul's Life: A Choice Made By Paul

    A choice made by Paul was when he told the police about when Arthur hit Louis with a black jack and killed him. It affected Paul that he felt more confident. The choice was made because Paul wanted Arthur to go to jail for killing his friend. Paul’s reaction felt weird because he never told the police about a murder before. Paul's effect was that he felt good about himself that he helped solve a murder case.…

    Romans Epistle Analysis

    Paul uses Romans to teach about what faith truly is, and he does this in a way that is unlike any other book in the New Testament. Each word Paul wrote is of the truth and brings understanding of what God did and still continues to do in and through Jesus Christ. Paul in Romans explains that God created man to have fellowship with Him, but sin had ruined this fellowship between God and man, causing there to be a separation, a rift of some sorts. So he goes onto further explain that God set out to fix this rift between God and man, by sending Christ to make things right. Allowing for Romans to be message that would not only pertain to the Gentiles, but for every generation…

    Paul's Case: The Struggle Is Real

    Throughout this story it is apparent Paul does not wish to slowly progress into perfection instead, Paul wants to experience instant gratification and while doing so Paul wants to move his way to the top and remain at the top. One down fall for Paul is that his method of personal achievement is attempted by being deceitful, telling lies to everyone that surrounds him including his teachers, his elders, and his father. Paul had the struggle of being successful yet, because of his hast, Paul was about to fail. In doing so, “he stood watching the approaching locomotive, his teeth chattering, his lips drawn away from them in a frightened smile; once or twice he glanced nervously sidewise, as though he were being watched.” (65). Paul appeared to think this was a time when he would be remember, that he would finally achieve what he was looking for, stardom, people would remember him and Paul ended his own life.…

    Wyne A. Meeks: Letters And The Book Of Acts

    At first, when they arrived at a city, they went to the synagogue because of Paul’s condition as a Jewish person. Sometimes they were invited to speak at the synagogue by somebody who already knew them and who was a prominent figure in the city. A second place where they gathered people were the households. People who had converted to Christianity and who had a place for meetings, invited Paul and his companions along with locals to gather together at their households where they listened to the Word of God and share a meal. When Paul and his companions preached in a city, everybody got to know they were around because of the huge density of population that the city had.…

    religious studies aqa a level

    Often conversions involve some internal battle and self-surrendering, whilst for others there is no resistance. Paul didn’t deliberately seek out the religious experience; it seems to have come upon him unexpectedly. For others, they might actively seek it e.g. going to an evangelistic meeting. One common characteristic is the transforming aspect. Usually the result of a conversion is that the person may have transformed and become a new person.…

    Life is different than what everybody thinks, they all think that life is beautiful and can give you a lot of good stuff, well it might but sometimes not. It’s actually so tough for some people. In the novel Tangerine by Edward Bloor, the choices that were made by the characters had major impacts on them. Paul struggled with himself that he did not believe in what he can do. His fear from Erik was the biggest impact that changed his life and the choices he might need to take. The choices that the characters made did not help others a lot. Paul’s choices made him gain friends that helped him be more confident in what he does.…

    Paul's Journey On The Mississippi River

    Another reason that people like Paul Schneider would like to take a journey on the Mississippi River is because of its rich history. As stated by Paul, “We put in a few miles south of St. Louis but we didn’t know precisely how far we were going to go down the Father of Water”. Paul refers to the Mississippi River as the “Father of Rivers”. The Mississippi River is the largest river in the United States, the three greatest tributaries are the Missouri, the Upper Mississippi and the Ohio River. These three rivers make up the Mississippi and support the civilizations built beside the coast. One of such civilizations is the Mississippian Culture. As Paul states, the Mississippian Culture is a city of mounds built a thousand years ago. The Mississippi…

    Theology- Church and Sacraments

    The converts grew and not too long after had others been convince to widen their horizons and soon began preaching to Gentiles as well. Peter, a disciple of Jesus began teaching to the Jews, while Paul (Saul), though untimely born, taught to the Gentiles. The spread and development of the Christian community grew yet as I have stated a while back, it was not readily accepted to communicate with the Gentiles as Jews became more tapped with the Gospel. And amongst these, Paul took on the stubbornness of the Jewish Christians by preaching radical liberations to temples and synagogues. To Paul, the encounter he had with Jesus at the Road of Damascus had sent the message that it is time to break the boundaries that separated these two. Paul, who participated in the Council of Jerusalem with other apostles, had defended the Gospel of freedom from the Law and among the discussed issues was that of Circumcision and keeping the law. The conflict between Paul and the Judaizers, people who believe that he Jewish Law is a must to attain…
