Describe your familiarity with the letters of Paul (Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon). What are some challenges you have faced when reading his letters? Maybe it’s his use of language, cultural context, his teachings on women and slaves, or something else.

We all approach the Bible from different backgrounds and experiences. As modern readers, Paul’s letters can sometimes be confusing and difficult to navigate. And for some of us, Paul’s words have become so over-familiar that the most challenging thing for us to do is allow them to become strange and new to us again.
