Letters to Early Churches : From Romans to Revelation

See how the earliest Christians lived out their story.

As Christianity grew, Christians sought to support unity, communication, pastoral care, and teaching through letter writing. Some books, like 2 John, largely follow predictable letter writing patterns. Others like the Book of Revelation or Hebrews draw on other written genres. But in each case, authors wrote in response to the specific concerns and needs of their first-century audience. Volume 5 of the Transforming Word Series offers probing insight into the first century and its world, showing how you can apply this important portion of God's Word to your daily life.
