If Paul the Apostle had worked in web3, he'd have been a Sufficiently Decentralized™ and Web 2.5™ guy. Not enough is explained about how Paul helped reframe Christianity for the wider world.

Paul had a bunch of advantages over the other Apostles. 1. he got an elite education — which helped him in successful rhetorical arguments 2. he was a Roman citizen — making travel easier for him 3. he was a prolific creator — out-writing all the other Apostles

The OG Apostles had wanted non-Jewish converts to Christianity to adhere to Jewish law AS WELL AS Christian doctrine, including asking adult males to get circumcised. Paul knew that would be a death knell for their fledging movement. He fought to have joining requirements reduced to 3 simple rules.
