Paul for Everyone: The Prison Letters (The New Testament for Everyone)

Paul wrote the letters to the Ephesian, Philippian, and Colossian churches and the personal letter to Philemon while in prison facing possible death. However, their passion and energy are undimmed. They reveal Paul’s longing to see young churches grow in faith and understanding, rooted in Jesus himself, and to see this faith worked out in practice—in one case, through the rehabilitation of a runaway slave. In Paul for Everyone: The Prison Letters, Wright’s stimulating comments are combined with his own translation of the Bible text.
