    The Roman church had not yet been visited and had no New Testament because the gospels were not yet being circulated in their final written form. Thus, this letter may well have been the first piece of Christian literature the Roman believers had seen. In Roman culture to choose to be a servant was unthinkable. Paul was a Roman citizen but chose to be entirely dependent on and abide in Christ Jesus (Romans 1:1). Paul’s impact was made known because of his citizenship and willingness to serve and obey Jesus…

    One of the most waited for events, in an architectural sense, was the completion of Paul Rudolph’s Yale Art and Architecture building in 1963 a postwar American Architectural event. Also known as the A&A it was considered Rudolph’s master piece as it promised to be the solution to solving modernism’s major unsolved problems.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe didn’t have leaders or a political structure to unite the people.

    For the church in Thessalonica, there were some unique circumstances which had warranted an address from Paul. Writing to the Thessalonians from Corinth, a notoriously licentious seaport, Paul had known well of the moral corruption that his new converts were also constantly exposed to in the seaport of Thessalonica. His letter, appropriately warning the new converts, is timely for mostly those of whom had only very recently lived in the low moral standards of the common pagan world around them. It was possible that immorality would soon sprout in the infant church due to the cultural mores of the city. Thessalonica was within sight of the home of Greek gods- Mt. Olympus.…

    INTRODUCTION N. T. Wright, or Nicholas Thomas Wright, is a former Anglican minister – namely the Bishop of Durham – who is widely considered a gifted biblical scholar and prolific author in the field of Christian theology and Early Christianity, and especially Pauline texts . Despite his reluctance, N. T. Wright is unavoidably associated with more or less a different approach to the reading of Apostle Paul, which has gained currency as “the new perspective” – a term coined by James Dunn . While Wright regards himself as “deeply orthodox theologian”, or an evangelical with unswerving commitment to the Christian orthodoxy, some of his contemporaries see his influence in Pauline studies as “traversing denominational divides and attracting Roman…
