This two-semester course includes an in-depth, verse-by-verse examination of all 14 epistles attributed to the apostle Paul. Beginning with an examination of the role of epistles in the first-century world, the course seeks to integrate the outline of Paul’s life as given in the book of Acts. This course explores the specific meaning of Paul’s epistles and emphasizes the unity between Paul and the teachings of Jesus Christ and the other apostles. Much emphasis is also placed upon examining the commonly misunderstood passages in Paul’s writings. Finally, the course seeks to show the practical applicability and importance of Paul’s teachings for Christians today.
