Saul of Tarsus, known as Paul
after his conversion, referring to him
self (II Cor. 10:11), says “his bodily
presence Is weak and his speech con j
temptlble.” Ernest Renan, the French :
writer, after consulting Jewish and}
Roman writings, says of him: “Paul j
was small In size, and his personal ap
pearance did not correspond with the
! greatness of his soul. He was ugly
short, stout and stooping, and his
broad shoulders awkwardly sustained
a little bald hend. His sallow counte
nance was half hidden in a thick j
beard; his nose was aquiline, his eyes j
piercing, and his eyebrows heavy and i'
