  • First and Second Corinthians
    Lawrence Farley / Lawrence R. Farley / Lawrence RFarley

His two epistles to the Corinthians come straight from the heart, as he appeals to them to live in peace, in righteousness, in generosity, and not to resist his God-...

    Lawrence R Farley / Lawrence R. Farley / Lawrence RFarley

They argued their case loudly, and Paul knew that he must give the literary performance of his life. The result was the Epistle to the Romans, in which he demonstrates the t...
