Ranters, I am headed to Greece soon as part of a tour to visit the places Paul walked in this second missionary journey. Before I go, I wanted to get into Paul's head. What was he thinking? What was he feeling? How was he adapting his strategy from the previous journey as he was going into a very different environment, far from supporters and benefactors? What were the signs of the Spirit moving?
I figured that since I was doing all of this research for myself, I might as well share it with my rant family. It is a four part series. In the fourth podcast, I will review for you my expanded translation of 1 Thessalonians. It is in my opinion, the most transparent, humble and naked of all of Paul's letters. It badly needs an editor. It is as if Paul is speaking off the cuff, pouring out his heart, sharing his anxiety, fears, doubts and joys with these new converts who he thought would have turned their backs on him. Great stuff. Hope you enjoy it.
We will get back to our journey through the Sermon on the Mount in due time.
