Module 5: The Prison and Later Letters of the Apostle Paul

The centrality, supremacy and humility of Christ fill the pages of these letters, along with heartfelt words to one of Paul’s young co-workers. The prison cell did not seem to dampen Paul’s wonder of both Jesus and the power of the Gospel, nor his commitment to protect the Gospel from those who would corrupt the message entrusted to him by Jesus on the road to Damascus.
