Prison Epistles

Paul’s prison epistles provide vital insight into some of the central doctrines of New Testament Christianity. Having been bound, beaten, falsely accused, shipwrecked, and left imprisoned, Paul writes to a few of the congregations which had become dear to him in his work. He had been involved in establishing these churches, and now in his deepest time of need, they had in turn supported him and given what aid they could. Division and false doctrines threatened the security of these Christians whom Paul loved dearly. As he writes, his love, gratitude, concern, and conviction shine forth brilliantly. There is much for us to learn about Christ, His church, and the Christian lifestyle through a verse by verse study of these books. This volume is the first in a planned series of verse-by-verse commentaries of the Bible. Each chapter is addressed by an alumnus of the Brown Trail School of Preaching in Bedford, TX.
