"Clues to Reading Paul:
Discernment and Judgement"
FOCUS OF THIS
STUDY:
The
writings of the Apostle Paul are a challenge to read and understand.
One important "Clue" to reading Paul is to understand Paul's
initial persecution of the church and his distinction between "judgement"
and "discernment of God's will." The result is a fresh understanding
of "justification by grace."
FEATURES OF THIS STUDY:
- To understand how Paul communicated to the churches
of his day.
- To understand the inappropriateness of a "literal"
reading of Paul.
- To gain some practical clues about how to read Paul's
writings & the Bible in today's world.
