The Pauline Epistles
The gospel of grace for the life of the Church
Thirteen letters of the New Testament bear Paul’s name. They were born in the heart of mission: answers to questions, corrections, encouragements, prayers. That is why they are so relevant: the churches of Corinth, Philippi or Colossae look a lot like ours.
In the first module you will get to know Paul and the gospel he preached, with the letter to the Romans as your guide: the righteousness of God, faith, the law, grace and life in the Spirit. In the second module you will step into the churches Paul wrote to: the divided community of Corinth, the joy of the Philippians, the supremacy of Christ in Colossians, God’s great plan for the Church in Ephesians, and the personal note to Philemon. In the third module you will read the letters to Timothy and Titus, written to train faithful co-workers and to protect the church from false teaching.
With the BereaWay Method you will receive each letter in its historical setting, examine its argument and connect it to your life and your church.

- Know the life and mission of Paul as apostle to the Gentiles
- Understand the gospel of grace set out in Romans
- Face with Paul the concrete problems of the churches (divisions, morals, worship, gifts)
