Paul Pavao has two main interests: obedience-based Christianity and early Christianity. The emphasis on obedience in the New Testament is far too overlooked, and modern confidence in the traditions of men means modern Bible interpretation is suspect at best. This is proven by the myriad divisions in modern Christianity. Paul focuses on "the faith once for all delivered to the saints," not based on his own interpretation of the Bible, but as it was taught by the saints who first received it. If is from those writings that he came to realize just how obedience-based that faith was. As Psalm 111 says, "A good understanding have all they who do his commands." Paul loves making scholarly subjects exciting and readable for the masses. He studies scholarly subjects, ensuring his works are evidence-based, but writes like he's your best friend. _Decoding Nicea_ is his 460-page true account of the much-maligned Council of Nicea and has been consistently reviewed as "always interesting." Paul's favorite claim to fame is the support of effective missionaries and missionary leaders. "Men of God that are effectively expanding the Kingdom of God, planting churches, and making disciples, nonetheless take time to read almost everything I write. A couple have encouraged me to start a Bible school. No book review could match that commendation." J.T. Tancock, "The Welsh Apologist," church planter and defender of the faith, wrote: I have come to know Paul Pavao as a trustworthy and honest voice in a field where hype, imagination, wishful thinking and downright lies are commonplace. He is not in the 'classic' sense an Academic. He is, though, an expert in his field of Church History. He has a grasp of the conflicting ancient voices and the ability to summarise and draw out the essentials. Paul bluntly 'knows his stuff'. Reviews from Christians who are not scholars or pastors emphasize: 1. Paul's books give people access to information they never had before. 2. They had no idea history could be so interesting. His second book, _The Apostles' Gospel_, is short and simple. It compares the preaching done by the apostles in Acts with the preaching we do today. There is a lot to learn from this little gem. He has also written a booklet on grace, also available on Amazon. His second full-length book, _Rome's Audacious Claim_, which rebuts the pope's claim to "full, supreme, and universal power over all churches," (Catholic Catechism, par. 881) tells the story of the rise of the papacy in detail. He does not stop there, but also exposes the misquotes, misrepresentations, and omissions of leading Roman Catholic apologists. Paul is most excited, though, about _Rebuilding the Foundations_, which he regards as the central purpose of his teaching ministry. His 40 years as a disciple, teacher, writer, and pastor are brought together in a Scriptural defense and argument for the Christian faith as it was believed and taught when the Church was young and united. Paul and his wife, Lorie, live in Springdale, AR.
