Synopsis

Our course seeks to understand better Paul’s missionary journeys so as to draw crucial lessons for our work and witness as the Christian Church. The current course is the second part of this endeavour, focusing on Paul’s Second and Third Missionary Journeys. This course will also be utilising archaeological data to illuminate our understanding of the settings and issues of his missionary work, and the pastoral and theological responses that he formulated. It is also hoped that those who are planning to visit, or lead groups to visit, biblical lands will find much benefit in this course.
