What does it take to make our lives "work"?

William E. Moody

Over the centuries the Apostle Paul's writings have done much to give direction to the spiritual life of Christians throughout the world. Certainly no other single evangelist in the early Church wrote with such wide-ranging or lasting influence on Christian conduct.

Paul's epistles show that he was clearly aware of the issues and trends of his own day. And he pointed to how an infant Christianity would have to confront many of the long-established social customs of the era in which the Church was developing.

Throughout the last two thousand years, religious thinkers have naturally given careful attention to the guidance found in the apostle's writings. And today a renewed inquiry into the Pauline epistles is taking place among a number of prominent theologians and Bible students.
