Was the Apostle Paul bald or hairy?

It's a serious question.

Right now the Jita team is preparing to print 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, and Titus as a single booklet. On the front cover we thought it would be nice to have an illustration of Paul writing his letters (for now let's put aside the issue of co-authorship or Paul dictating his letters to a scribe).

Suddenly we were faced with a huge decision...was Paul bald or hairy? And then we realized the weight of this decision. Our choice will shape the perspective of the Jita people for years to come. No pressure!

And then we also had to choose the best illustration of oxen treading grain for 1 Tim 5:18 and the pieces of a soldier's armor for 1 Thess 5:8, among other things.

So for Paul, the Jita team immediately declared, "definitely the bald guy." Ok, let's go with it. After all, we do have support from a few artists through the centuries.

Andrea Vanni - Saint Paul - 1400

Bartolomeo Montagna - Saint Paul - 1482

Geminiano Benzoni - San Paolo - 1500

Dionysius - The Apostle Paul - 1502

So I guess Paul was bald :)

Please pray that we can finish the rest of the many steps to get this book ready for publication so that the Jita people can read God's Word in their own language!!!
