Dr. David Capes continues to explain the history behind some of Paul’s letters to the various churches.

Why did he use a secretary to write his letters when he could write them himself?

There were only two ways to send a letter in Paul’s day. Listen as Dr. Capes describes the two methods.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Paul had a very specific message and purpose to accompany that message. Yesterday, Dr. Capes began his explanation of Paul’s missionary message. Listen as he offers more details today.

Paul often revisited the churches he had established. If he could not visit, he sent others to check on them. Why was this important to Paul’s missionary journey?

Paul also wrote many letters to the churches he established, which are included in the Bible. In fact, most of the New Testament contains letters from Paul or information related to him.

Was Paul conflicted about his “popularity”?

Listen as Dr. Capes discusses a famous painting by Rembrandt which depicts three specific points of light…But, is the painting accurate in its description?

Do you recognize the name Sosthenes? If you don’t, look up 1 Corinthians! It is Dr. David Capes’ favorite letter from Paul.

Day 2

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Paul had the audacity to tell others “Imitate me, because then you’ll be imitating God.” Why was this wrong, yet accurate at the same time?

What was Paul’s missionary strategy?
Two heads are better than one.
Urban strategy.
Go to the Jew first, then the Gentiles.
Stay healthy.
Find common ground.

Listen as Dr. David Capes reminds us of the Six Spiritual Laws.

After Paul had established a church in a certain region, who took over the responsibilities? Did Paul ever return to those churches? Tune in tomorrow for more!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Paul didn’t have the convenience of a Bible like we do. He did, however, have information from what we now call the Old Testament. Listen as Dr. Capes explains why this is important.

Did Saul change his name to Paul when he became a Christian? Mark Lanier briefly reviewed this a few weeks ago, but Dr. Capes offers more information about this Jewish custom.

Why did Paul consider Christians such a danger? Note: This will be discussed in more detail later in the week…

What was Paul’s missionary strategy? Tune in tomorrow for more on this question.
