RBS Handouts

Paul, an energetic, first-century man, traveled from city to city throughout the Roman Empire talking about the One God and his “son” Jesus. He set up small communities of people who accepted what he said and then wrote them letters that are as explosive and fresh today as when they were first written. Paul’s teachings on Jesus, God, the world, and the essence of being genuinely human were creative, compelling, and controversial. What did he think he was doing, and why was he doing it? How did his background and upbringing lead him to speak, travel, and write in this manner? Join our rector Chris Girata in a year-long exploration of Paul through his epistles and the communities who heard them.

If you would like to do some preparation in advance of each class, you can read the companion book we selected: Paul: A Biography by N.T. Wright. You can find it on Amazon or any of your favorite bookstores.

As always, please send any questions pertaining to the study throughout the week to: [email protected]. You can also email Bhav during the study and in the chat features on Facebook and YouTube and she will share those questions with Chris who will answer live during the study.
