Corpus-Paul

["Stevan Davies" <miser17 AT epix.net>]

Paul reports on his persecution of the Church of God in 
Gal 1:13, 1 Cor 15:9 and Acts is replete with mentions of
Paul the Persecutor. I suppose, then, we can rest assured 
that Paul did in fact persecute the Church of God roughly
33-37 AD. 

I would appreciate it if y'all could tell me what is generally
thought to have motivated this persecution?
