What does it mean to sail with Paul? It is to know Paul’s Savior and share Paul’s blessings, says Ironside. Join Ironside as he travels with Paul—both geographically and theologically—to uncover the mysteries of Paul’s theology and the stories of his travels. Ironside devotes special attention to the themes which concerned his congregation, such as conversion, forgiveness, justification and sanctification, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and Christ’s return. More importantly, each of these theological themes serves as the bedrock of Pauline theology. Ultimately, the end of Paul’s geographic journey in Rome merges with his theological goal: to be with Jesus.
H. A. Ironside, one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers, was born in Toronto, Canada on October 14, 1876. Though his education stopped with grammar school, his fondness for reading and a retentive memory put his learning to use. His scholarship was recognized in academic circles when he received honorary degrees from Wheaton College and Bob Jones University and was invited as frequent lecturer at Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Ironside was appointed to the boards of numerous Bible institutes, seminaries, and Christian organizations. He also served as director of the Africa Inland Mission. Ironside preached widely throughout the United States and abroad. He served as pastor of Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and during his lifetime, he preached more than 7,000 sermons to over 1.25 million listeners.
