Saint Paul: Understanding His Life, Faith and Epistles

Can you imagine what it would be like to meet Paul the Apostle? You are invited to encounter Paul and his remarkable legacy as never before. Your guide is world-renowned Pauline expert Fr. Ronald Witherup, Superior General of the Sulpician Order. Arguably, Paul's influence on Christianity has been greater than that of any other writer. The 13 epistles attributed to Paul have influenced great figures of Christian history from St. Augustine to Martin Luther to contemporary theologians, as well as an untold number of believers. And yet, St. Paul has posed problems for many people. He has been misunderstood as distorting the message of Jesus, leading true Christianity astray, promoting misogyny, and encouraging negative attitudes toward human sexuality. Still, many find his letters sublime and encouraging. Through these thoughtful lectures, you will enter Paul's world, understand his life, see his conversion unfold, examine his theology, and explore his letters. You simply cannot understand Christianity without understanding this remarkable Apostle and his works, which remain life-changing and controversial two millennia after they were written. Now you can take a fascinating 24-lecture audio course on Paul by one of the Catholic Church's leading experts, whenever and wherever you want. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.
