Wednesday Night Studies

"The Letters of Paul" with Dr. Laura Nasrallah of Yale School of Divinity

Picture
In May we continued the course started as a Sunday morning forum, "The Letters of Paul." Dr. David Moseley started us opening Paul's mail and then we were privileged to sit in on a Yale Divinity course with Dr. Laura Nasrallah. In this series we watch her in-depth exploration of the historical and cultural context of Paul’s letters and the ancient world in which the New Testament was written based on the letters themselves, archaeology, and other historical resources. Read more about Dr. Nasrallah HERE.
​
Each week of May we posted Dr. Nasrallah's lectures here and on Wednesday evenings joined Mo. Rebeccah in a Zoom meeting to discuss them.  A blog post is available for comments you would like to make after seeing the lectures. ​ The whole class schedule is posted below.

Dr. Nasrallah has many other videos in this series on Paul's Letters.  You can access her whole playlist HERE.
