Great Truths from One Woman's Conversations With the Apostle Paul

by Shirley Stephens

Overview

Great Truths from One Woman's Conversations With the Apostle Paul presents, in dialog form, the teachings of Paul on the role of women in the home, church and society. The author presents Paul's teachings on this subject in nine conversations. One woman asks the questions, with the answers based solidly on the biblical record. The content of the answers has been carefully researched in commentaries and historical sources. The conversations take into account the cultural and political background of the period and places. A final chapter charts the progress in applying Paul's teachings of equality in the work of the church. Subject and Scripture indices, along with a glossary, are provided to aid in study and understanding.

Following the account of each conversation are interactive learning exercises that can be completed individually or in a group setting. This book is a handy tool for group and individual Bible study.

This is the fourth in a series of conversations books written by this author.
