Pauline Literature (VI Legacy)

With Don Williams

In this module, we will firstly cover the fascinating background, content, and theology of Paul's letters to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Thessalonians as well as to Timothy, Titus and Philemon. Secondly, we will briefly consider a number of areas within Paul’s theological framework that are critical to our understanding of his writings. These include the nature of Conversion, various aspects about the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit’s relationship to: a) the flesh, b) prayer, c) worship, and d) warfare. 

Thirdly, we will study the nature of the “presence of God,” first in the Old Testament, and then within the writings of Paul. Lastly, we will consider the study and nature of key categories of extra-biblical works and how they impacted the determination of the cannon Epistles.
