Description
This course will study many of the epistles of St. Paul in their historical contexts, seeking to understand both the life of the Saint who wrote these letters and what they espouse for the life of the Church then and now. The student will become much better acquainted with the Pauline corpus as a result of close reading, exegesis, and group discussion of the legacy St. Paul gave us in his epistles, and preserved as Holy Scripture by the Church. We will endeavor to keep the image of Paul the saint in our mind?s eye throughout the semester, and will give a privileged position to the preaching about Paul by our Father of the Church, St. John Chrysostom, by reading the seven sermons he preached ?On Praise of St. Paul.?
