PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Paul’s influence on the growth of Christianity is incomparable. Apostle to the Gentiles, Paul embodies what it means to be an evangelizer. As a Jew, Greek and Roman, he shows us how to be “global” and “multicultural” in proclaiming the Gospel. Come, enter into Paul’s world, explore some of his main traits, and follow the development of Paul’s thought and action-packed ministry.
