as Keith touches base again with his adventures through learning about church history, will return to a familiar resource. See the credits that follow the show notes. Today we take a look at Paul’s early life, training, ministry and milestones of his life. Will have to return to the chapter at a future point to have a look at the impact his writings had on the early church. Here are a few of the points that we focus on today.
Paul and Gentile Christianity
- The Beginning of the Movement
- the results of early PERSECUTION
- what in the world is the Seleucid monarchy?
- Paul’s Background
- his training as a Pharisee
- his presence at the stoning of Stephen
- his persecution of Hellenistic Jewish Christians
- Paul’s Conversion
- Paul’s Early Ministry
- Three years after his conversion, he made a two-week visit to Jerusalem
- his ministry for nearly a decade is unrecorded.
- He travels with Barnabas for a counsel in Jerusalem
- In Early Church Crisis
- the matter of circumcising Gentile believers needed to be settled
- there would also be the matter of table fellowship, maintaining dietary restrictions
- Paul’s First Missionary Journey
- after a split with Barnabas, Paul’s Second and Greater Missionary Journey
- Keith recounts his travels and timeline during this trip
- finally, it was his journey to Jerusalem, where he was arrested
