If you were to follow this blog, you would know that I am rather fond of the Apostle to the Gentiles, and endlessly sympathetic towards him, in his boundless energy and enthusiasm. A strict Pharisee before and after his conversion to Christianity, Paul was also a kind man, as the letters of his that survive in our New Testament demonstrate. Today is an especially good day to read the second letter to Timonthy, which I shall shortly do. Then I should watch my favourite film about Paul, the last few minutes of which are in this video below. Here, he is martyred at the Trefontane, outside Rome, and arrives in a land of eternal sunrise, finding that the Christians he once arrested and killed are waiting to welcome him. And then he sees Christ and the film ends.
