MANual Lessons: Paul’s Letters to the Corinthians

My year-long journey through The MANual, my NIV Bible for Men, continues in Paul’s letters to the churches visited during his journeys to spread the news of Jesus. Last week’s post with MANual Lessons in Romans, stated the Apostle Paul wrote to a gathering of believers in Rome while still in Corinth, Greece. This post covers Paul’s letters to the people in Corinth, which became the seventh and eighth books of the New Testament. About Corinth The ancient city of Corinth resides on an isthmus (narrow strip of land) that connects Peloponnesus, a geographic southern region to the rest of Greece. Corinth’s location made east-west trade common since ships traveled from the Adriatic Sea to the Aegean Sea to save hundreds of miles of dangerous sea travel.

The Friend Who Never Left

Recently, I received two magazines unexpectedly in the mail at my home. The first was Wine Enthusiast. Strange, I thought, since I’m not a fine wine drinker. The other was Esquire.

My real point is this: Men need their best friends for the tough times.  The email linked to an Esquire article that’s very relevant

MANual Lessons: The Book of Romans

My year-long journey through The MANual, an NIV Bible for Men, continues with the book of Romans, the sixth book in the New Testament, which follows the Acts of the Apostles. You will recall in my post on the MANual Lessons: The Acts of The Apostles, Paul was originally named Saul as a persecutor of believers in “The Way” of Jesus. After his encounter with the risen Jesus on the Road to Damascus, Paul goes on to lead three missionary journeys throughout the regions around the Mediterranean Sea. Paul writes thirteen letters –or what some call “epistles” (from the Greek word epistole meaning “letter” or “message”) to churches he visits, which make up the majority of the rest of the New Testament.  About Romans Appropriately titled Romans, the sixteen chapters are directed to the new Christians in Rome. Written in approximately 57 A.D., Romans is the longest and doctrinally most
