    Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 12:00 PM until 1:00 PMCentral Standard Time UTC -06:00

    Join us at noon on Thursday, February 6th, 2025 for a lecture by Paul Holloway, Ph.D. entitled "Paul's Anxious Letter to Rome.

    Paul wrote his now famous letter to Rome in Corinth in the wake of a sustained and brutal challenge to his continuing authority in the Corinthian assembly. This challenge was not based on a theological disagreement—as it would be in Galatia--but on the question of status: the Corinthians were Paul's social and cultural betters. Paul worried that he would face a similar and even more robust challenge in Rome, an anxiety that materially shaped what was to be his magnum opus.
