I have learned a great deal in this Pauline class. I have gone from addmitedly ignorant about Paul to feeling confident that I could outline his life. He was an inspirational character. He went from completely doubting to completely defending because of an encounter with Jesus. He was obviously favored because Jesus does not show up in person to everybody; Paul was unique. His Jewish Pharisee background made him well versed in the basics and his zealous nature made him a formitable Christian.
Paul wrote many of the books of our New Testament. These books were once just letters to church plants Paul had been involved in while traveling on missionary journies. I learned in Dr. Foster's class that Paul spoke to the Jew first then the gentile. This was a very new idea to me since I assumed everything was written just for me. I enjoyed Dr. Foster's lectures a lot. Though the class was a challenge, I have gained volumes of knowledge that will further my intellect.
