The "Prison" Epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon)

De: Dr. Bill Creasy

Narrado por: Dr. Bill Creasy

When Paul is arrested in Jerusalem in late A.D. 57, it plunges Paul into a legal morass that sees him held under protective custody in Caesarea for nearly two years, transported to Rome for his legal appeal, and two more years waiting in Rome for his court hearing. Altogether, Paul is sidelined for nearly five years, A.D. 58 – 62. It is important to understand that Paul is not a prisoner at this time: He is a Roman citizen, first arrested for inciting a riot, but quickly put under protective custody and sent to Rome for a legal appeal that he initiates. Indeed, we read in Acts 28: 30-31—“For two whole years Paul stayed there [in Rome] in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ."

While in Rome, A.D. 60 – 62, Paul writes three epistles (Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians) and a personal letter (to Philemon). Often mistakenly called Paul’s “Prison Epistles,” Paul’s epistles are enormously rich, and his personal letter to Philemon is a masterpiece of persuasion. We engage these works in this lesson.

good read it

at times somewhat redundant but I love the ending I do recommend listening did this and dr. Dre is always great

Following Paul's journey

loved it, one can never read or listen to Paul's letters as they are very relatable.

Always the best

Dr Creasy stands alone among great bible teachers. I saw him teach live in the 90s and circling back.

Not Bad..

Parts were great. Stick to scriptures when teaching. Still parts were okay. I feel like it was story time
