Letters of the Apostles I To First-Century Christians & Congregations


Though still in the fill-in-the-blank all the scriptures, this book is not divided by weeks and days. It is divided by letter. Jesus left his apostles behind to begin his work of spreading the kingdom — the church. They did so in person and also by letter. Setting up new congregations was wonderful but sometimes confusing. The members and leaders wanted to do right, but the New Testament had not been written yet. These letters by the apostles is what became the New Testament. my books present them in the order they were written.
