Message-ID: Date: 27 May 91 03:10:07 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (CFD) Lines: 6 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu It is my impression that Paul had a formidable knowledge of Roman law. For example, when he is taken to court near the end of Acts, he serves as his own legal counsel. What were Paul's educational and occupational backgrounds? Was Paul formally schooled in the law, or did his knowledge simply reflect that of an average Roman citizen of his day?
