I really enjoy these lectures, like to learn about the ethos of Paul and thinking of his letters in terms of pathos and logos (miss this in today's world of speeches!!) I have also noted before that Paul does not write about his own "story" in his letters but now it is more clear to me and it is nice to see the many different ways he expressed how is he an apostle to Christ.

Ildiko, I too miss the ethos, pathos and logos in today's speeches. I think it would improve things quite a bit if people grew up today learning good rhetoric instead of "empty" expression.
