Energion.com Reader's Guide - Pauline Epistles

Paul, more than any other writer, established the general theology and culture of Christianity. He was so influential that many people regard him as the actual founder of Christianity. Many Christians study his books more than the gospels, probably because they are easier to convert into doctrinal statements and theology.

You should also consult the general Bible study and New Testament resources for a complete set of tools for your study of these important books.

From Amazon.com: "In Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God, this Pentecostal scholar has redefined the terms of the discussion about the Holy Spirit in a way that transcends today's paradigm of 'charismatic' or 'noncharismatic' orientation. His words are a strong reminder of what God, through his Holy Spirit, intends the church to be. . . . His work is an attempt to point us back to the Bible and reinvigorate our own vision of how the Spirit mobilizes the community of believers in the local church."
—Wendy Murray Zoba, Associate Editor, Christianity Today

"Gordon Fee, one of our truly master exegetes, has put steel and sinew into the words Spirit, spirit, and spiritual—words that have become flabby through subjectivizing indulgence and lack of exegetical exercise. His accurate, fresh, and passionate recovery of the place and meaning of Spirit in Paul and for us Christians is a provocative stimulus and reliable guide to the recovery of the experienced presence of God in our lives. For those of us who want to live in continuity with all that has been revealed in Jesus and given in the Spirit, this is an eminently practical book."
—Eugene H. Peterson, James Houston Professor of Spiritual Theology, Regent College

"Gordon Fee is one of the finest Bible expositors I have known. Whenever he speaks and writes, I listen, and recommend you do the same."
—Chuck Colson, Prison Fellowship Ministries
