Conversion, Contradiction, and Creativity
Season 4 Episode 454
Today I'd like to talk about a unique individual from the New Testament first known as Saul, and after his conversion, was known as Paul
Based on what we know, Paul’s voice and style can best be described as urgent, argumentative, and full of rhetorical questions and paradoxes. Compared to Moses and David, he’s much less about stories and much more about persuasion.
Genres he influenced: his letters basically create Christian epistolary literature, setting a pattern that has influenced writers from Augustine to Kierkegaard.
ats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
