Season 13 is all about Paul, the persecutor who became the persecuted. An entire season on Paul requires a warm-up stretch, so in this episode we take a departure from our traditional episode to set the scene for the rest of the season. Join us as we as dust off our Bible Drill skills, explore Paul’s rabbinical upbringing, and get to the bottom of just how many names this man actually had.
