Here’s an interesting article from the BBC about the discovery of what are believed to be the remains of the Apostle Paul. They were found, amazingly enough, under the altar of the Basilica of St. Paul in Rome. Whether or not these are actually Paul’s remains is questionable but what’s interesting to me about the article is the way the BBC, The British Broadcasting Corporation describes the Apostle Paul:
St Paul was an influential early Christian who travelled widely in the Mediterranean area in the 1st Century.
and
His letters to the early churches, found in the Bible’s New Testament, are arguably some of the most influential on Christian thinking
Here’s the most important Christian figure other than Jesus and the BBC has to explain to his readers who he is? England really is a post-Christian nation.
