Status Updates From The New Testament

done with Galatians! a letter on faith versus Torah-observance, with some glimpses into Paul's conflicts with the other apostles. interesting indeed, and rather brief (as are the rest of the epistles, as far as i understand)

and that was 2 Corinthians. i think this is my favorite of Paul’s letters thus far, if only because it’s not often that we get to see a figure like him at his wits’ end. chapters 11 and 12 are really something special.

back to it!! done with 1 Corinthians

i saw a tweet once that said that the experience of reading the classics is finding these timeless cross-sections of the human experience, expressed in the most beautiful words, followed by a list of all the slurs the author knows. reading Paul is like that.
