Overview
On the road to Damascus Saul the Persecutor became Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ. He went on to take the gospel to the Gentile world against considerable opposition. This course traces the progress of his mission, studying each of his letters in historical context; sections from at least one Pauline letter will be studied in detail (in Greek). Paul was the first and most influential Christian theologian. We will also attempt a synthesis and integration of his thought.
