And might I add that the Greco-Roman world rightly regarded circumcision as a perverse barbarity. If nothing else, it was Paul's steadfast rejection of circumcision that made it possible for Christianity to spread amongst the Gentiles. It was not until the Victorians went nuts that circumcision was reinflicted on the Christian world.
But, there was a whole lot of "else" to Paul's mission as well. From a historical standpoint, St Paul is absolutely indispensable to the emergence and triumph of Christendom.
