Maintaining the Truth: Epistles of the New Testament

Of the 27 compositions that comprise the New Testament, 21 are letters: some guide, some warn. This program explores the content as well as authenticity of the various letters attributed to Paul, James, Jude, and Peter. Location footage brings to life Paul’s missionary journeys to Antioch, Athens, Corinth, and Rome. The Pastoral Epistles, Gospel of Thomas, letters of Pontius Pilate, and the theological differences between James and Paul are also examined. Along with noted scholars, Father Jerry Murphy O’Connor of the École Biblique Jerusalem and the Right Reverend Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham, also offer commentary. (52 minutes)
