...Galatia 5 bible study 1. Who is author Paul? 2. Who is Paul writing to? 3. what was the occasion purpose of Paul writing? Occasion found chapter 3 Purpose was to tell the Christian Paul's Occasion and Purpose For Writing Galatians From Acts 13-14 we have learned that Paul and Barnabas evangelized the southern part of Galatia[1] during their first missionary journey. Their practice was to first go to the synagogues and preach to Jews and God-fearing gentiles. Shortly after their arrival in each city, Jews raised opposition to Paul and Barnabas causing them to turn to the gentiles and make converts among them. Based on Paul’s previous persecution of Christians, it is not surprising to me that after Paul and Barnabas would move on, other Jewish Christians would come on the scene with a different message. These false teachers, called Judaizers[2], The problem Paul encountered with these Judaizers was with their teaching that those who embrace Christian salvation must also submit to Jewish law, known as “legalism”.[3] Paul’s purpose in writing Galatians was to express his anger and astonishment that not only were the new Galatian believers in the process of turning away (deserting, metatithesthe, as in a military desertion) from the truth but because it was happening so quickly after his last visit to them, or so soon after the false teachers began their work. The departure was not simply from a system of theology but from God Himself, the One who had called...

...Paul the Apostle (Greek: Παῦλος Paulos; c. 5 – c. 67), original name Saul of Tarsus (Greek: Σαῦλος Ταρσεύς Saulos Tarseus), was an apostle (though not one of the Twelve Apostles) who taught the gospel of Christ to the first-century world. He is generally considered one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age. In the mid-30s to the mid-50s, he founded several churches in Asia Minor and Europe. Paul used his status as both a Jew and aRoman citizen to advantage in his ministry to both Jewish and Roman audiences. Fourteen of the twenty-seven books in the New Testament have traditionally been attributed to Paul, and approximately half of the Acts of the Apostlesdeals with Paul's life and works. Seven of the epistles are undisputed by scholars as being authentic, with varying degrees of argument about the remainder. The Pauline authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews, already doubted in the 2nd and 3rd centuries but almost unquestioningly accepted from the 5th to the 16th centuries, is now almost universally rejected by scholars. The other six are believed by some scholars to have come from followers writing in his name, using material from Paul's surviving letters and letters written by him that no longer survive. Other scholars argue that the idea of a pseudonymous author for the disputed epistles raises many problems. Today, his epistles continue to be vital roots of the theology, worship, and pastoral life in the Roman and Protestant traditions of the West, as well...

...The Apostle Paul By: Karie Kauffman The apostle Paul, next to Jesus, is the most interesting and intellectual person in Christianity. There are many astonishing things that happened in his life. His adult life started out very rough, but he managed to move forward from his past and accomplish many things. He healed the sick, raised the dead, spread the gospel, and wrote over half of the New Testament. Paul, was born soon after the birth of Christ, somewhere around 3 AD, and was given the name Saul. He was born in Tarsus, a Roman province south east if the Asia Minor. Tarsus is known for its scholars and great thinkers. Being born in this city to Jewish parents, there is no doubt that Saul would have a good education. It was Jewish tradition to study the Jewish law and traditions. In Acts 22:3 Paul refers to his origin and education, “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia...I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors.” The rabbi that taught Saul, Gamaliel, is a very famous teacher in Jerusalem. There is no actual records of Saul's birth and childhood, and the first mention of Saul was in Acts 8:1 after the stoning of Stephen. It says, “And Saul was there, giving approval to his death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem.” Saul had turned into a very evil man, and was one of the most prominent leader in the persecution against the newly formed Christian church. One of the most important events...

...BOOK CRITIQUE: WHY FOUR GOSPELS? Tiago Souza NBST 515 September 24, 2013 INTRODUCTION This work will analyze the book “Why Four Gospels” by David Alan Black. The main objective will be compare the Fourfold-Gospel Hypothesis opposed to the Markan Priority. In order to do that, this work will first analyze the historical background and reality context of the composition of each gospel. The author David Black has published over 100 scholarly articles and book reviews in such journals as Novum Testamentum, New Testament Studies, Bible Translator, Journal of Biblical Literature, and many others. He also serves as Professor of New Testament and Greek and the Dr. M. O. Owens Jr. Chair in New Testament Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. SUMMARY The book starts by bringing up a description of the development of the gospels, and a not very known basic historical fact is that the Gospels were written through a not so brief period of time. The “Gospel according to Mathew” was published in 42 AD, and there was a 20-25 years gap between its publication and the publication of “Luke’s Gospel” and “The gospel according to Mark”. And than, another huge gap between the publication of those and finally “The Gospel of John” being published in 96 AD, so there was a 54 years interval between the publication of the 4 Gospels, and that fact shows that sometimes God likes to act in a way that takes time, seems unusual to human eyes, but in...

...The Acts of the Apostles Following the wonderful story of the coming of God through man in Christ, the task of spreading the word and the good news fell on the hands of the apostles. It was their duty to expand the church and proclaim their message, exalting Christ and his kingdom. When it was time for Jesus to leave the earth he tells his disciples to continue his work and prepare for his second coming, a day only The Father knows. As the disciples leave Mount Olivet, the point of ascension, they congregate and try to figure out how to carry about God’s mission to the rest of the world, and wonder if the spirit of the Lord is still with them. Their answer came on the Day of Pentecost. On this day, as the disciples were praying and praising the Lord, the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they began to praise the Lord in foreign languages, languages familiar to the foreign onlookers – essentially speaking in tongues. The leaders of this movement were Peter and John, who took the initiative to fill in the vacuum that Judas had created when he betrayed Jesus by anointing and inducting Matthias into the group of eleven, thus making it twelve, just like how Jesus intended. As Peter and John begin their mission to illuminate the world on the good news, they come across a middle-aged man who has been lame since the day he was born. As they see him Peter looks at John and in a quick “let’s go” nudge to each other (as I would imagine) Peter heals the man in the name of Jesus...

Bibliography 25 Introduction Students of Church history are often puzzled by the sharp contrast between the Jewishness of the writers and events of the New Testament on one hand and the definitively non-Jewish character of the Early Church after the apostolic period on the other hand. An appreciation of the Jewish background of the Early Church and knowledge of the development of Jewish-Christian relations in the first three centuries of the Christian era is therefore crucial if one desires to understand the parting of ways between Judaism and Christianity. These two sister faiths would become bitter enemies within a few centuries after the emergence of the Christian faith. This paper, while heavily relying and interacting with primary sources of the time, will endeavor to highlight the Jewish origin of Christianity, trace its development within Judaism, and chronicle its inexorable divorce from its Jewish roots and sister faith. Setting the stage: the expansion of the Jewish Diaspora During the Persian occupation of Palestine (538-332 BC), many Jews decided to pass on the magnanimous offer of Cyrus allowing them to return to Palestine and chose to remain in Babylonia where subsequently, the Jewish population grew in influence over the centuries.1 Already during the Babylonian invasion and in the lifetime...

...readings in Codex Vaticanus, Fuldensis and Ms. 88, which can be observed in some sigla left by the copyists of these texts. Chapter three examines the identity of the author(s) and the date of composition for both the interpolation in Corinthians and the Pastoral Epistles. Chapter three provides a survey on the role of women in the churches under Paul’s personal supervision. It also examines the ancient view of the role of women in the Greco-Roman society and how it impacted the deutero-Pauline understanding. Next, I present the most important issues behind the debate concerning the role of women between the deutero-Pauline school (represented especially by the Pastoral Epistles) and the Pauline tradition represented by the Acts of Paul. Finally, I investigate the canonization of the Taceat Mulier dogma. Chapter ONE The Origin of 1...
