Feel, live, and breathe the letters that Paul wrote from prison as you study them in the context of his life and work with this excellent guide by Christopher R. Smith.
This guide will lead you through Paul's final seven letters (Colossians, Ephesians, Philemon, Philippians, 1 Timothy, Titus, 2 Timothy), explaining where, when, and why they were written. It will give you a deeper and more personal understanding of what God was doing among the early communities of Jesus' followers and how their experiences can impact you today. You'll witness the dramatic story unfold of how--despite his imprisonments--Paul continued to be active in spreading the gospel, guiding and directing the work of local churches, and explaining to the wider world who Jesus is and what he has done.
