Paul's Background (Full Lecture) | N.T. Wright

Reorienting us to Paul's vision has been your great gift to the church today! Thank you.

The lecture is really brilliant and clear

Mr. Wright I really appreciate your service. Am blessed. May God continue to bless you and be more of a channel of blessings to many.

You have a roll-top desk on top of your roll-top desk. That is brilliant! ...also, the lecture was wonderful! Thank you! Currently delving into Paul's letters in seminary :)

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

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.

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.

None is as captivating to listen to as you are

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!

Thanks sir u have well explained in the lecture about Paul's background 😀 God bless!!!

Thanks very much sir...u explained in such a wonderful way abt...Paul's background....

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

Thank you. Learned a lot about Paul. God bless you!

thank you for your teaching! I'm learning a great deal about my faith

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.

Beautiful job!!! Thanks so much for such history of Paul's life...

Thank you Pastor.

Thankyou for giving a fresh perspective on our faith , and for explaining where this idea of going to heaven after death came from. K

Listen intently and watch history come alive... Context is extremely important.

Thanks a lot...very nice materials
