Bible Study

Incarcerated numerous times "for the defense of the gospel" (Phil 1:16), Paul wrote several letters from the confines of prison. Our Fall Bible Study explores his prison letters in two parts:  the letters of Philippians and Philemon and an in-depth investigation of Paul's letters to the Colossians and Ephesians, two letters with a great deal in common.
