THE 522 The Letters of Paul: Conversation across the Centuries

This course studies the writings of the Apostle Paul and the questions that the earliest churches grappled with in the Greco-Roman world of the first century. It also considers corresponding issues in the twenty-first century church and world. Questions concerning community membership and life, ministry, interactions with the world, expectations for the future, and relations with other religions, especially Judaism, will be seen in their original Pauline contexts and then engaged in the light of present experience.
