What a wonderful presentation. It feels like Professor Wright is speaking directly to me.

The Paul you describe, the exciting travelling intellectual, rhetorician. philosopher, crisp thinking and seeing the "big picture" was the Paul taught me in the 60s by Jesuits. Thank you.

Oh now I see you have met Paul. He is exciting to me as he is to you. How well you describe a fault in our ministry for Christ. Paul is that lynch-pin to me also. For years I was looking for him and Wow, when I read his letter to Ephesis I saw it. Keep up the work on Paul.

WOW!!!! INCREDIBLE! Thank you. What great context and depth for consideration!!!

Great and passionate exploration of Paul and his writing. The importance of sound doctrine and His exultation of Christ through the worst of circumstances, is so important. Well done matey!

What made Paul tick was that he was a winner concerning those things that really mattered. He had mastered the sophists' technique of being able to debate either side of a question and win. The only one who could defeat him WAS him. I find it interesting that the hall where he did most if his most important dialog was referred to as the hall of the tyrant. No one knows the source of that name. But I think Luke describing that hall sometime after the fact describes it in the way it had become known during Paul's stint there. That is "the hall of the tyrant" a reference to Paul himself. Check the context in Acts 19. The people as well as demons feared him.
