Paul and His Letters - Unlocking The Bible

Part 89 of the David Pawson 'Unlocking the Bible' Podcast series David Pawson looks at Paul and how he came to write his letters. Over a third of the New Testament focusses on him. “He’s had greater influence on… Europe than any other man.” He had 3 major influences on his life – his Jewish parentage, the Greek language because he came from Tarsus, and his Roman citizenship which gave him certain privileges. He was a missionary before his conversion – but on the wrong side. He had a personal encounter with Jesus (after his ascension) which began his conversion and was his call to evangelize the Gentiles. It was 13 years of preparation before he set off on that mission and he travelled first with Barnabas as his work partner. Most of Paul’s letters are written to churches around the Aegean Sea. His strategy was to plant a community of the Kingdom in every key city and then move on, leaving the church to evangelize their district. In the course of his travels he suffered much – shipwreck, flogging, jail, stoning, hunger as well as the care of the churches. He revisited churches as well as writing to them to encourage, teach and rebuke. A man of dedication and zeal, prayer, compassion and tears who was overwhelmed by God’s grace. These letters have become the Word of God.
