Study the New Testament with Midwestern Seminary

On the road to Damascus, Paul is called to be Jesus's apostle to spread the message of the gospel to the known world. You are likely a Christian because Paul was faithful to this calling.

Join Dr. Patrick Schreiner to study Paul's letters in the New Testament. Learn how God's grace transforms people and puts them into communities that we call the church.

New Testament II: Pauline Epistles

New Testament II with Dr. Schreiner covers the Pauline Epistles–Romans, Galatians, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus. Each session explores the key theme outlined within each book and how Christians can respond to the truth laid out in Scripture.

We hope these lessons will be helpful and edifying to you in your walk with Christ.
