We look at the last year or so of Paul's third missionary journey when he wrote the two epistles to the Corinthians (AD 57), as well as the letter to the Christians in Rome (AD 58). There is a PDF lesson outline available for this podcast. Send an email to preterist1@preterist.org and request it by its date.

Refuting Resurrection Errors
Recently there has arisen a couple of false accusations against the Individual Body View of the Resurrection by the hyper-cessationist skeptic Chris Camillo and some of the advocates of the Collective Body View.

Signs of the End (AD 65-66)

Rom 7 – This Body of Death
