Pre/co-requisite: NT302/502, LA004A/B
2019 Semester 2 Wednesday Evening Unit
The apostle Paul was one of the most zealous evangelists and clearest thinkers in the early church. What we know about him comes from the Acts of the Apostles and from the letters that make up a large part of our New Testament. Our world is fast becoming as pagan as it was in Paul’s time.
