Fresh insight into Christianity s earliest teachings can be
a
guide for your own spiritual journey.
The Apostle Paul, who wrote many of the books in the New
Testament, was a fearless and revolutionary religious innovator. In
a society where slaveholding was commonplace and women were little
more than servants, he preached a groundbreaking equality founded
on a new spiritual identity. In an imperial political system that
demanded unquestioning allegiance, Paul told his readers they were
citizens of heaven. Yet Paul diverged from many of Jesus s own
teachings about the world and God s kingdom, and his writings have
been used to justify slavery, defend violence toward women, and
vilify followers of other religious paths.
With fresh translations from the original Greek and insightful
yet unobtrusive commentary, Ron Miller guides you through the
complexities of Paul s writings. He explores Paul s limitations and
sometimes harmful legacy, but also highlights Paul s deep
connection with God s Spirit. This connection led to Paul s
penetrating insights on how to live a life filled with spiritual
vigor, experience profound joy even in the face of trouble, and
understand the fundamental power of love to overcome any
obstacle.
Whether you are familiar with Paul s writings or have no
previous knowledge of them, this SkyLight Illuminations volume will
open a door to let you experience the power of Paul s words for
yourself.
