11/04/08: Acts 7
Acts 7:2-53 is an excellent summary, by Stephen, of the history of the Israelites from Abraham to Jesus (the Righteous One). At the stoning of Stephen, Saul was present (7:58).
Saul's name later was changed to Paul, when he had a supernatural encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus and a radical conversion to Christianity (Acts 9:3-19). This same Paul, originally a fervent hater and persecutor of Christians, later wrote most of the New Testament.
