With the letters of St Paul it is very easy to miss the wood for the trees, getting lost in their detail rather than grasping their overall perspective. Much of the language Paul uses can also give the impression that his interests were technical and abstract rather than practical. In reality, Paul’s epistles were all extremely pastoral and written with the intention of making a real difference to the practical day to day lives of the churches to which he wrote. In this series we take a ‘bird’s eye’ look at five of Paul’s larger letters – Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians and Colossians – seek to grasp their overall message and reflect on the challenge they bring to the life of Christ Church.
