Three times Paul describes the good news he proclaims as “my gospel” (Rom 2:16; 16:25; 2 Tim 2:8). What does Paul mean by “my gospel”? Typical understanding of Paul’s gospel includes the death and resurrection of Christ and the offer of salvation by grace through faith but we do not examine the outworking of “my gospel” in the complexities of life and relationship in the Christ-assemblies in Early Christianity. In this course, we examine how “my gospel” guides and influences Paul’s thoughts on politics/empire, ethnic relations, economy, reconciliation, gender and family amongst others and analyse how radical his approaches to these issues would have been in the 1st century.
The course instructor is Rev Dr Lim Kar Yong. He teaches New Testament Studies at Seminari Theoloji Malaysia (STM) and is an Anglican priest with the Diocese of West Malaysia.
