Apostle On The Edge: An Inductive Guide To Paul

Paul’s letters reveal not a serene saint but a volatile messenger driven by an eternal message. His explosive personality flashes from the pages of his letters, and those who make the effort to explore his correspondence are rewarded with exciting glimpses of this towering figure of the church. However, most students simply haven’t time to study the background materials so crucial for understanding Paul’s world. Introducing students to a real man who faced real problems, this inductive study provides the resources to begin to build a bridge from our time to Paul’s. Designed as an interactive learning tool, it includes in-chapter prompts which the reader must write responses to in order to complete aspects of the text. Not a book for the timid or the lazy, Cosby’s unique guide charts a fascinating journey into the ancient Mediterranean world of the apostle Paul—a distant land abounding in customs and religious practices foreign to modern readers. FEATURES • Unique format leads students to ask questions of the material, explore the book for answers, and complete portions of the text • An interactive learning tool that helps students better appropriate and retain what they've learned
