The apostle Paul makes clear the central truths of Christianity. But sometimes he leaves us puzzled. As Peter said so long ago, Paul's "letters contain some things that are hard to understand." Is the law good? Is it better to be single or married? Is God really just? What wil happen to the Jews? Should women be allowed to teach? Seldom have the questions become easier over time. Manfred Brauch, drawing on years of pastoral experience and biblical study, takes on forty-eight hard sayings of Paul and offers the kind of help we need. By supplying background and putting these sayings in the context of the whole of Paul's teaching, he helps us not only to understand them but to see their importance for Christian living today.

A well-ordered compilation of the apostle's tough words.,
By lifesigns@hotmail.com (South Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hard Sayings of Paul (Hard Sayings Series the Hard Sayings) (Paperback)
This is a good resource by a fine Bible teacher, touching on those quite difficult statements of the Apostle Paul. Each of the 48 chapters feature a different statement, such as "Handing Over to Satan" and "No Women Teachers." I found the author to be insightful and helpful. It serves as a good resource for the pastor's library.
