Romans: The Apostle Paul

Welcome to Season 4 of Not So Secret Bible, where we'll be studying the context and content of the book of Romans. As the Gospel narratives bleed into the Acts narrative, we're introduced to an individual named Saul of Tarsus. Saul enters the story as a Pharisee, a Jew, a Roman citizen, and a man zealous for the God of Israel's will to be done in the tradition of his people. He's portrayed as a persecutor of the Jesus-movement, approving of the killing of Christians, and planning to arrest more in Damascus. On his way though, he has an encounter that forces him to reconsider in every way the God of Israel and his own place in the world. So what causes a man like this to reverse his course? Saul would later--at least in the New Testament story--come to be known as Paul, a leader in the growing Jesus-movement he previously persecuted, and perhaps the most important person to Christianity--outside of Jesus--that has ever lived. His presence, voice, and writings would shake up the known world like it had never been before. Join us in exploring the life, message, and mission of this fascinating character as we attempt to peek into the mind and motivations of the author of the letter to the Romans.
