January 25: The Conversion of St. Paul Day

O God, by the preaching of your apostle Paul you have caused the light of the Gospel to shine throughout the world: Grant, we pray, that we, having his wonderful conversion in remembrance, may show ourselves thankful to you by following his holy teaching; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Andy:

Thanks for the post on the Conversion of St. Paul Day.

I wanted to let you know that the new issue of Christianity Today has a cover story titled "Lost Secrets of the Ancient Chruch: How Evangelicals Started Looking Back to Move Forward." This is an interesting essay and covers some of the issues that we've been discussing. The article may be avaialable online, and if not, I'll bring my copy to Bible class Sunday.

Best wishes,
Mason

Thanks, Mason, for your alert to the article. I subscribe to CT, but the most recent copy has not arrived (or my subscription has lapsed). Please be sure to let me take a look at the essay.
