Apostle Paul’s Ministry to the Gentiles
The Apostle Paul’s ministry to the Gentiles carried the gospel from Jerusalem to Rome, across the Mediterranean, into cities and cultures that had never heard of Christ. Where Peter and the other apostles focused on Israel, Paul planted churches among the nations.
This study series walks through four dimensions of that work:
Introducing Paul — Before Damascus, Paul was Saul of Tarsus: a Pharisee, a Roman citizen, a persecutor of the church. His background makes the transformation — and the mission that followed — all the more powerful.
Chronological Order of the Writing of Paul — The New Testament letters aren’t arranged in the order Paul wrote them. Reading them chronologically reveals the development of his theology and the situations behind each letter.
Cities Paul Visits — Paul’s three missionary journeys took him through roughly 40 cities across modern-day Turkey and Greece. Mapping the journeys puts the geography behind the letters.
Paul’s Friends — Paul didn’t work alone. Barnabas, Silas, Timothy, Luke, and others were not just co-workers but family. Their stories are woven into every letter.
