A Walk with Paul Through Cultural Minefields

About the Book

In the New Testament the verb “to walk” (peripateo) finds its use on ninety-five occasions. It is of interest that the Apostle Paul uses the verb on thirty occasions in his prolific writings. Hence, why I have chosen the title of this work as A Walk with Paul Through Cultural Minefields. In many respects, the cultural minefields of the ancient cities of Corinth, Ephesus, and Colossae are no different to the cultural minefields facing the modern church. The church of the twenty-first century is now faced with challenges to God’s absolutes in conjunction with opposition from other faith systems. Hence, it prevails upon every person who professes to have a Christian faith to understand those challenges. The Apostle Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians, if studied carefully, will assist Christians to walk out their faith in the manner that will bring honor to God.
