Synopsis

Although there are numerous books on St. Paul and his letters, none "knock over" the average person. In Understanding St. Paul, Deacon Bob Evans breaks open the wealth of St. Paul's wisdom in brief, understandable chapters through the lens of fascinating findings. You will learn about St. Paul's tempestuous times and heroic life which reveal the mystery of his message.

St. Paul's letters, revered throughout the ages, construct much of the foundation for Christian theology. Next to Christ, St. Paul had the mightiest effect in winning souls for God and summoning all to evangelize. In page after page, St. Paul will help you answer the "why" questions about the meaning of life and stir and arm you with valor to defend your faith.

Evans lays out how St. Paul's letters are organized and his view about important topics including grace, the struggle against evil, and the resurrection of the dead.

By imitating St. Paul in opening your heart and trusting God with ardent faith, you begin to experience His Kingdom on earth. St. Paul's letters embolden those undergoing persecutions and hardships to fight the good fight. Through the theology of the Cross, his writings prepare you for heavenly glory.
