Sin, Redemption and "the flesh" in Paul
Bernardita Dianzon, FSP, 20/03/2017
Paul was the earliest writer of the New Testament and the first ever to articulate an understanding of the saving death of Jesus Christ.
Paul's Conversion and our Lenten "Metanoia"
Bernardita Dianzon, FSP, 06/03/2017
"Metanoia" very aptly captures the essence of Paul’s experience and points to us the kind of conversion to which we too are being called today.
Who Wrote the Letters of St Paul
Anne Flanagan, FSP, 27/02/2017
It sounds like a trick question, but Scripture scholars today spill much ink in discussions about the authorship of the Pauline epistles. Why would such a question arise? What are the most important things for an ordinary Catholic to know in this regard?
Paul and His Companions
Anne Flanagan, FSP, 13/02/2017
"Works well with others" is not the sort of notation we might expect on Paul's report card, but the record shows that he did, after all, work very well with others--if they were as intent as he was on the spread of the Gospel.
What Sort of Jew Was Paul?
John Hemer, 30/01/2017
The early Paul (Saul) believed that the promises made to Israel by God had still not been fulfilled, but that the countdown was on. There is no question that the young Saul of Tarsus was zealous where religion was concerned, but Paul’s zeal is much more than mere religious enthusiasm.
How Paul Reads the Bible

Paul's Understanding of the 'End of Time'
John Hemer, 19/12/2016
It has become almost orthodoxy in some scholarly circles to assume that Paul and Jesus were wrong about the future of the world. They were, the argument goes, both convinced that some time soon after the resurrection Jesus would come back again and sort everything out and put an end to the world.
Paul on the Pre-Existent Christ
John Hemer, 05/12/2016
It is clear to even the most casual reader that at the beginning of both John’s gospel and his first letter Jesus is seen as having existed from the beginning, and that the man who walked in Galilee was none other than the one through whom God created the universe.

Paul, the Universal Teacher
Armanda Santos, FSP, 21/11/2016
Our hope is that as your faith increases the scope of our activity will be greatly enlarged, so that we’ll be able to proclaim the good news to lands beyond you....
