Bible+ Overview

+Unpacking Paul The Apostle : 24-26 Feb

Paul is arguably the most important figure in the New Testament, after Jesus himself. This course will track Paul’s dramatic and fascinating life, from his moment of transformation on the road to Damascus, to his imprisonments, to his missionary work and public speeches on an international scale. Attributed with writing about a third of the New Testament scriptures, Paul’s theology was a huge influence on the early church. His letters shaped and fashioned the culture of the early church, just as they still do today.

Key Components
+ Explore Paul’s early life, Jewish roots, and his encounter with Christ.
+ Follow Paul on his missionary journeys across the ancient world.
+ Look at Paul’s encounters in Rome.
+ Engage with key Pauline texts and theology.
+ Examine alternate views on Paul’s ministry.
