The Letters of Paul: Persuasion, Truth, and the Early Church | Episode 33

What can the letters of Paul teach us about communicating truth, growing in discernment, and gathering together as the church?Lenny and Melissa step back before beginning Romans to explore the world in which Paul’s letters were written. They look at ancient communication, rhetoric and persuasive argumentation, why Paul could describe himself as unskilled in speaking while still communicating the gospel with conviction, and why learning to explain what we believe can deepen our own understanding.The conversation also turns toward the early church and what its gatherings reveal about participation, encouragement, leadership, and the life of the body of Christ.Read the companion Bible study and join the conversation:https://wakinguptograce.com/033-pauls-letters-and-early-church-practices-romans/
