Everyone knows the supposed life story of Paul the apostle, but
then again they may not. As it is generally drawn from the book of
Acts, Paul had a dramatic conversion on the "road to Damascus,"
undertook "three missionary journeys," and returned a final time to
Jerusalem. He was arrested for creating a riot, held prisoner in
Caesarea, and upon his appeal to Caesar was finally transported to
Rome as a prisoner. Dotted, dashed, or colored lines on countless
numbers of maps document Paul's "three missionary journeys" and his
journey to Rome, as these are commonly discerned in the book of
Acts. Paul's letters and the book of Acts itself, however, may tell
a different story than the one customarily perceived-perhaps a less
familiar story, but perhaps a more factual one. The Ministry of
Paul the Apostle represents a significant paradigm shift for
understanding Paul's ministry which involves two major campaigns,
an ordered awareness of Paul's ministry as far as Illyricum, a
revision of Paul's Corinthian ministry, an historical confirmation
of visits to Jerusalem, an appropriate ordering and reaffirmation
of Paul's letters, including Romans 16 as a letter to Ephesus. In
addition, the current study offers a new paradigm for correlation
between our sources of Paul's letters and the book of Acts, with
the development of an underlying source tradition behind Acts. The
reader is thus invited to participate in a significant
re-evaluation of Paul's ministry and a proposed solution to a
long-standing mystery of correlation between Paul's letters and
Acts. When one travels with Paul, one engages in a voyage of
discovery. This book makes sense of the mystery of Paul's ministry,
which when properly understood, becomes an illuminating
foundational window of clarity for sorting out a bewildering
multitude of theological formulations of the enigmas of Paul's
thought. It is through a thorough awareness of the ministry of Paul
that one comes to appreciate the contextual nature and depth of
Paul's theological thought. One comes to a new appreciation of
Paul's place in early Christianity, relevant even for those who
live in a post-modern age.
