Part 4: The Social World of the Apostle Paul

Presented by Professor Mary Hinkle Shore 10/09/2011

What was it like to be a Christian in the midst of the Roman Empire? What were the philosophies and types of religion vying for the attention of the Christians to whom Paul wrote? What values governed the culture? How did the news of God's action in Christ intersect with those values? Luther Seminary Professor Mary Hinkle Shore will offer a quick overview of social history related to Paul's churches and discuss some of the ways our society is similar to and different from the communities to which Paul wrote.
