My Talk On St Paul (Updated)
I’m supposed to deliver it tonight. Part of me hopes I don’t get hit by a bus on the walk over to the convent.
UPDATE: No bus was in sight (sigh). The hand out sheet I had intended on distributing (see below) was a bust, the copying machine was on jamming. In addition, I said I wouldn’t whine about this, but I’m a liar. On Sunday night, at about 9:30 PM my computer crashed as I was doing my third and last re-write of my talk. Needless to say, I lost everything except my original rough draft, so the talk was very unpolished. Most people said they were pleased with the talk, but I’m thinking they were just being polite.
Here are the handout sheets which will help people identify the cities and regions associated with St Paul. They come from the website of Father Felix Just, S.J.
Here are some of the resources I used in preparing the talk:
McKenzie’s Dictionary of the Bible by Father John McKenzie, S.J.
The Jerome Biblical Commentary
The New Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture
New World Dictionary-Concordance to the New American Bible
According To Paul by Father Joseph Fitzmyer, S.J.
Acts of Apostles, Sacra Pagina Series, by Luke Timothy Johnson
