Apostle Paul: Church History, Ministry, and Timeline

The Apostle to the Gentiles — Journeys, Letters, and Doctrinal Legacy

A comprehensive chronological study of the life, ministry, and theological legacy of the Apostle Paul. This course follows Paul from his dramatic conversion on the Damascus Road through his four missionary journeys, his prison epistles, and his martyrdom in Rome. Students will examine the geographical, cultural, and political context of the first-century Greco-Roman world, trace the founding of key churches across Asia Minor and Europe, and study how Paul's apostolic grace shaped the doctrinal foundations of the New Testament church. Special attention is given to how Paul's revelation of the mystery of Christ, justification by faith, and the indwelling Spirit continue to shape the church today.
