Course Description

The contribution of the Apostle Paul to the understanding and practice of the Christian faith cannot be overestimated. His thirteen letters provide some of the most important material for Christians, who have wrestled with such texts throughout history in hopes of formulating a biblical understanding of what it means to be Christian. Yet, how to read Paul rightly is as strongly contested now as it has ever been. Our goal is to help students understand the issues in interpreting Paul and to draw conclusions about the significance of Paul’s teaching for our time.
