Paul the Emissary Companion Guide
COMPANION GUIDE TO THE VIDEO Paul, the Emissary Prepared by Dr. Diana Severance P.O. Box 540 Worcester, PA 19490 610-584-3500 1-800-523-0226 Fax: 610-584-6643 E-Mail: [email protected] Web: www.visionvideo.com 2 Discussion Guide for The Emissary The Emissary portrays the story of the apostle Paul, closely following the Scriptural account in the book of Acts. Historians recognize that Paul was one of the most important men in all of world history. It was largely through his ministry that the message of Christianity was brought to much of the urban society of the Roman Empire within one generation. To better appreciate Paul’s ministry and impact, read the Scriptures, consider and discuss the following questions: 1. We first meet Paul in Scripture when Stephen was being stoned (Acts 7:54-60). At that time he was then called Saul. What role did Saul have in Stephen’s stoning? What impression might the dying Stephen’s words and behavior have on Saul? 2. Though born in Tarsus in Asia Minor, Paul was raised in Jerusalem, where he was a student of the beloved Gamaliel. What was Gamaliel’s attitude to the new sect of Christians? Why might Saul’s attitude differ so markedly from his teacher (Acts 22:3; 5:34-39; cf. 8:3; 9:1-2)? 3. Saul was not seeking the Lord Jesus, but the Lord was seeking him and spoke to Saul as he was on his way to Damascus to further persecute the Christians (Acts 9:1-7). -
The Adventure Begins
CHURCH AFIRE: The Adventure Begins ACTS (OF THE APOSTLES) • The epic story of the origin and growth of the Christian Church from the time of Christ’s ascension to heaven to Paul’s first imprisonment. – It is an adventure story with arrests, imprisonments, beatings, riots, narrow escapes, a shipwreck, trials, murders, and miracles. “The Adventure Begins” THE AUTHOR Neither the Gospel of Luke nor the Book of Acts mentions the author’s name ARGUMENT #1 • Luke & Acts were written by the same author – “It seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.” (Luke 1:3-4) – “In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until he was taken up to heaven …” (Acts 1:1-2) “The Adventure Begins” ARGUMENT #2 • The author has an exceptional understanding of events and terminology – Had the opportunity to carefully investigate – Participated in some of the events – Demonstrates exceptional familiarity with Roman law and government – Understands the proper titles and political terminology – Very well educated “The Adventure Begins” ARGUMENT #3 • Acts is written by a companion of Paul – “We” passages (16:10-17; 20:5-15; 21:1-18; 27:1—28:16) • Paul’s traveling companions: –Luke, Silas, Timothy, Sopater, Aristarchus, Secundus, Gaius, Tychicus, and Trophimus. • By process of elimination, using the “we” passages, Luke is the only candidate that remains. “The Adventure Begins” ARGUMENT #4 • It is the unanimous testimony of the early church (*uncontested) *There are no books of the Bible with stronger corroboration for their authorship than the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts “The Adventure Begins” THE MAN Surprisingly, Luke’s name is only mentioned three times in Scripture REFERENCES TO LUKE • “Only Luke is with me. -

The opening chapter may be thought of as a trial, where God is the judge and sinful humans are the accused. I. THE COURT RECORDER (1:1-17): Here Paul, author of Romans, provides his readers with some pretrial introductory material. A. His credentials (1:1, 5): Paul relates four facts about himself. 1.

Junia – a Woman Lost in Translation: the Name IOYNIAN in Romans 16:7 and Its History of Interpretation
Open Theology 2020; 6: 646–660 Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World Andrea Hartmann* Junia – A Woman Lost in Translation: The Name IOYNIAN in Romans 16:7 and its History of Interpretation https://doi.org/10.1515/opth-2020-0138 received June 30, 2020; accepted October 27, 2020 Abstract: The name of the second person greeted in Romans 16:7 is given as IOYNIAN, a form whose gramma- tical gender could be either feminine or masculine which leads to the question: Is it Junia or Junias – awomanor aman– who is greeted alongside Andronicus as “outstanding among the apostles?” This article highlights early influential answers to this question in the history of interpretation (John Chrysostom’scommentary,thedisciple- ship list of Pseudo-Epiphanius, Luther’s translation, and Calvin’s interpretation) showing that societal percep- tions of women’s roles were a factor in how they interpreted IOYNIAN. The article then summarises the last 150 years of interpretation history which saw (a) the disappearance of Junia from the text and from scholarly discussion due to the impact of the short-from hypothesis in the nineteenth century, (b) the challenge to this male interpretation in connection with second wave feminism, and (c) the restoration of the female reading in the ensuing debate. Bringing together the main lines of the argument, it will be shown that there is only one reading supported by the evidence, the female reading which throughout the centuries was the more difficult reading in light of the church’sandsociety’s perception of women’s -
The Acts of the Apostles
The Acts of the Apostles Author(s): White, Ellen Gould Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This book is the fourth volume in White©s five-volume series entitled The Conflict of the Ages. The series tells the story of Christian history as told in the Bible, beginning from Gen- esis and ending in Revelation. The Acts of the Apostles covers the Great Commission to the visions given to John the Revelator, i.e., from the Book of Acts to the Book of Revelation. Her interpretation of history and the Bible is quite original, and provided a theological foundation for the forming of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. White©s unique and often controversial ideas address issues relevant to Christian faith and history that many of her contemporaries avoided. Although still highly criticized to this day, her work can chal- lenge readers to look at Christian perspectives on New Testament theology and the progression of history in new or alternative ways.

Epistles of Paul
THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE ASSEMBLY: EPISTLES OF PAUL THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE ASSEMBLY: EPISTLES OF PAUL JACK P. LEWIS In the Gospels, we see women showing hospitality to Jesus, women supplying him with their means, and women travel- ing with him and being around the cross. We see Jesus healing women, dealing with their spiritual problems, and using women as illustrations in his teaching; but we do not find any instruc- tion about their role in assemblies. The same is true of the book of Acts. Women learn; they obey the gospel; they engage in good works; they show hospitality; and they participate in giving. They are not depicted as being evangelists; they do not exercise miracle-working power; they do not baptize people; they are not elders in the congregations; and they are not pastors. No passage in the Acts of the Apostles specifically deals with the role of women in assemblies. We will turn to the epistles of Paul. Much of what Paul wrote is gender inclusive, relevant to and binding equally on men and women. Paul uses women as illustrations in his teaching. He con- trasts Hagar and Sarah (Gal 4:24ff.) and declares that the Jerusa- lem above is our mother (Gal 4:26). He speaks fondly of women as his fellow workers. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews includes women: Sarah, Moses’s mother, Rahab the harlot, and those who received their dead by resurrection (Heb 11:35). The Epistle of James mentions Rahab (Jas 2:25). Peter praises Sarah (1 Pet 3:6) as a model for Christian women. -

Jesus Eyes the Ends of the Earth Acts 19:21-20:5 Acts of the Exalted Jesus Sermon Series Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer May 24, 2015
Jesus Eyes the Ends of the Earth Acts 19:21-20:5 Acts of the Exalted Jesus Sermon Series Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer May 24, 2015 TEXT: Acts 19:21-20:5 We continue this Sunday in our spring series on the Acts of the Exalted Jesus. This Sunday has many features to it: it's Pentecost Sunday; it's Memorial Day; and it's Teen Challenge Luncheon Sunday, so there are a lot of elements this morning. But, I want you think this morning in terms of Pentecost for just a minute. Pentecost is that interval between Passover and this summer celebration, the interval between Jesus’ resurrection from the dead and His exultation to the Father. Think back how long ago Easter feels from now, and that's the interval that Jesus spent with His disciples after He had been raised from the dead, teaching them of the Kingdom, and prompting them that they were to be His witnesses to the uttermost parts of the earth. This spring, we have been following Christ as He moves out in an ever-increasing sphere of witness. This morning, we look at the ministry that takes place in Ephesus, and it is really an impossible task. Luke tries to summarize in Acts 19 and 20 three years of ministry in about 10 minutes. How can you summarize three years of ministry in 10 minutes? Yet, that is the challenge of these chapters. These chapters are anecdotal. There are several different scenes that are included, and there is a lot that happens in Paul's ministry that Christ does through him and others, as we'll see. -
E.A. Judge, "The Roman Base of Paul's Mission," Tyndale Bulletin 56.1
Tyndale Bulletin 56.1 (2005) 103-117. THE ROMAN BASE OF PAUL’S MISSION E. A. Judge Summary One third of those around St Paul bear Latin names, ten times more than we should expect. The types of name used suggest that most of these should have held Roman citizenship or the preliminary rank of Junian Latin. In the Greek-speaking cities of the Roman East, however, most Romans or Latins kept the Greek names they or their ancestors had used before their enfranchisement or manumission. For day-to-day purposes the Greek names alone were cited, though technically now cognomina (‘associated names’) to the Latin praenomina (‘first names’) and nomina gentilicia (‘family names’) required by Roman usage. It is therefore likely that over half of Paul’s associates ranked as Roman. If so, the view that Acts has only made Paul himself a Roman citizen as window-dressing becomes pointless. Instead we should assume that he linked himself with other Romans used to travelling on business or able to offer hospitality to him and his mission. Introduction There are far too many Latin names around St Paul for them to be explained mostly as loan-words domesticated into the Greek name- stock.1 In an ‘eyewitness account’ of ‘going to church in the first 1 E. A. Judge, ‘The early Christians as a scholastic community: Part II’, Journal of Religious History, 1.3 (1961): 130, slid over this distinction. It was left unsettled by A. N. Sherwin-White, Roman Society and Roman Law in the New Testament (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963): 156-62.
