TQQ: The ‘Gospel’ of the Son of God
- Course Dates: Tue 22 May 2018, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

It is clear beyond all doubt that the interpretation of the significance of the crucified and risen Jesus was the all-consuming issue for Pauline Christianity.

The world in which Paul worked and preached and exercised pastoral care was a world profoundly influenced by the imperial rule of Augustus, concerning whom the term ‘gospel’ had been used. How would Paul’s ‘gospel’ have been heard in such a world?
