Lesson
      1: The
      Apostle Paul


      
Paul
      saw himself as straddling the past and the future, the Jews and
      the Gentiles, the old covenant and the new. How did Paul, a Pharisaic
      Jew, become the champion of Christianity?

      
 Lesson
      2: God’s New Creation


      
Paul
      believed that in Jesus, God had brought the future redemption
      into the present. In Jesus, the new Exodus from slavery to freedom
      had arrived. What did Paul mean by this?

      
Lesson
      3: God’s New People

      Paul
      tells his readers in Galatia and in Rome that God had declared
      those “in Christ” to be justified and declared righteous.
      How were God’s “redeemed” to live and act? What
      instructions does Paul give to his churches and followers?

      
 Lesson
      4: Paul’s Understanding of Jesus

      Paul
      believed that in Jesus, God’s future for Israel had arrived.
      In Jesus, the God of Israel was personally present. In Jesus,
      God had come to defeat the powers of the world. How did Paul,
      a monotheistic Jew, come to believe that Jesus was divine?

      
  Lesson
      5:
      Paul’s View of Resurrection


      
Jesus’
      followers were to be, in the midst of the Roman Empire, a colony
      for God’s kingdom on earth. At the end of the age, all they
      would be changed. But changed into what?

      
 Lesson
      6:
      Paul
      For Today


      
According
      to Paul, in the person of Jesus, the new eschatological age had
      arrived. Then why is God’s creation still groaning and suffering?
      What is Paul’s word for today?
