  • Paul: Understanding his Complicated Ministry

    The Apostle Paul has been one of the more controversial figures in the New Testament since the day that God blinded him with light on the road to Damascus. Unlike the other disciples, he was not from Galilee but was instead raised a strict Jew in a multi-cultural, Roman city called Tarsus. He was exposed to many languages, religions, Greek philosophies, and cultures. He wrote half of the books of the New Testament, but many are afraid to read his works because they don’t understand this complicated man.
