Reflections on the Apostle Paul’s Prison Letters: A Verse by Verse Bible Study
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
If the Prison Epistles do anything, they give the church of all ages the example of how believers can continue to proclaim the Good News about Jesus Christ even when circumstances are not pleasant, or even antagonistic to the message proclaimed. Paul could not get free from his captors, but then his captors could not get free from him either. So, day after day he had the opportunity to build relationships with his guards and watch for the Holy Spirit to provide openings to share the Good News with them.
