Description
This packet of five ancient but ever-new letters to first century Christians is a vital witness of how the earliest churches first enfleshed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We read the today not for their nostalgic value but rather, as Vincent Smiles writes, "For questions of doctrine & morality, in debates about the nature of the church & of ministry, & facing questions about evangelization & misssion, the church now, as always, has to turn to Jesus & the church's original foundation & inspiration." In his clear & concise commentaries, Smiles reminds readers that these letters are very circumstantial, meaning that Paul composed them to respond to particular situations that he & his churches faced.
