Why was Paul so effective in bringing the Gospel to the Gentiles is the second question of Paul's apostleship, and my answer or answers will be my half of my thesis statement.
One of the reasons Paul was so effective is he had a pretty good formula whenever he traveled to evanglize the Gentile by learning to engage his surroundings by accepting its culture without compromising the Gospel. Another possible reason was he new where to start whenever he went to a new town, and that was the synagogue. Paul was like a chameleon that knew how to blend around its surrounding. Paul was able to observe people for who they really our to allow him later to present the gospel effectively.

"Paul's Uniqueness."
I am currently working on Paul presentation for one of my seminary classes, and in the research stages to get to create my thesis statement. The subject of my paper will Paul The Apostle, and the debate of this subject is could Paul be consider an apostle. Reading the Bible, and other books related to this subject allows me to see Paul's uniqueness when comparing him to the other apostles.
The 12 apostles that Christ appointed to build his church were mostly from Galilee, and that part of Palestine was consider low class people with a low level of illiteracy. Paul was brought as a Roman citizen that was raised in a home of a pharisee, and Paul was going to follow in his fathers footsteps in becoming a pharisee. Paul's uniqueness from the other 12 was his level of education.
