The Life of St. Paul:
A Study of I and II Thessalonians

by FR MITCH PACWA

St. Paul is considered a fascinating and controversial figure among Bible scholars of all Christian denominations-the subject of much study and argument. Did Paul hesitate to call Jesus the Son of God? Does Paul's teaching support Protestant doctrines like Sola Fides? What do we really know about this most prolific of New Testament authors? Here's your opportunity to discover the absorbing true story behind the great Apostle to the Gentiles with well-known Scripture scholar, Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J.

With his breathtaking knowledge of ancient history, language, archaeology, and of course, Scripture, Fr. Pacwa will expand your understanding of the life and times of the former Saul of Tarsus. Using all the lable historical sources, Father fills in the blanks on St. Paul's life: painting a vivid picture of the land and cities he lived in, his background as a Pharisee, the probable origin of his Roman citizenship and his trade as a tentmaker. Then you'll experience anew his dramatic conversion to Christianity and subsequent missionary travels that ultimately led to his imprisonment and death.

With this comprehensive background on his life, you'll also deepen your understanding and appreciation of St. Paul's often misunderstood writing style; the way he uses certain terms, stresses particular points of doctrine, and alters his tone for various audiences. Perhaps more than ever before the Pauline epistles will truly come alive with meaning for your life!

Armed with insights from the story of Paul's life, Fr. Pacwa proceeds to thoroughly unpack Paul's two letters to the Thessalonians. With an impressive knowledge of the subject and a delightful sense of humor, Father will take you line by line through these epistles, bringing them to light as never before. Not only will he explain the motivation and meaning behind Paul's words to the Thessalonians, but he'll relate them to your life today. Father will show you how the issues that faced the new Christians of Thessalonica are still of vital importance today as we confront the false doctrines of the New Age movement, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, as well as the errors of evangelical Protestantism.

In your study of I and II Thessalonians, Father Pacwa will give you a firm grasp of the doctrinal issues involved in the Parousia, or Second Coming, even offering a comprehensive refutation of the various erroneous beliefs regarding the "Rapture." He explains in detail how our hope for resurrection is the hope we have from Christ's resurrection-and how that hope lies in Him and through Him.

As you experience this remarkable four-tape presentation with Fr. Mitch Pacwa, you'll find that the New Testament epistles have new life and meaning for you.
