We look at some of the other Jewish and Christian events that occurred while Paul was on his way to Rome, or just after he arrived there. The writing of the gospel of John most likely occurred here, along with the epistle of James, and the three epistles of John. We also look at the first two prison epistles of Paul (Ephesians and Colossians) which were written sometime after Paul reached Rome. There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast.

In the second half of the session, I explain how this idea of perfection…
