Meeting Paul: An introduction to Paul and his theology

Paul, a sophisticated Pharisee from Asia Minor and a persecutor of Jesus’ followers, was visited by the risen Christ and given a new vocation. Paul was to take the Good News to the non-Jewish world. This mission would shape the rest of Paul’s life, as he traveled through the Roman Empire proclaiming the Gospel, starting and nurturing communities of believers. In this lecture-oriented class, we’ll learn about Paul -- his world, his life, his travels, his work, and his ideas. And we’ll seek to discover what Paul really said!
