First Thessalonians and the Corinthian Correspondence: A Bible Study Course

What can the letters of Paul, the earliest Christian writings, teach you about living virtuously today?

The virtues of faith, hope, and love, first articulated by St. Paul in 1 Thessalonians, have come to epitomize the Christian life. So often repeated, these words are frequently misunderstood. As you will come to discover, Paul actually intended them as a call to live out a radical spirituality in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

In this inspiring course from renowned Pauline expert Fr. Raymond Collins, S.T.D., you will focus on three of Paul’s epistles—First Thessalonians and his two letters to the Corinthians—to see how Paul leads you to follow Christ today. As you enjoy these lectures, available on audio and video, you will witness the development of the early Church, which has much to teach us in our own time.

From the perspective of twenty-first century believers, these letters are particularly fascinating, as they reveal churches filled with real people and real issues. Tackling issues such as sexual morality, death, and money, Paul’s letters are as relevant today as ever.

Along the way, Fr. Collins will provide you with an in-depth study of the lexicon and historical context of the letters. With such a masterful scholar as your guide, you will come to understand Scripture as never before.
