Discussion Questions
-
Explain, in your own words, the value in learning about Paul’s life and the various personas he adopted when sharing the gospel.
-
Paul was an apostle who was wholeheartedly committed to living the life Christ has called him to live. He did so unashamedly in front of all different kinds of people. In his example, I am challenged and encouraged to follow suit and prioritize Christ in all situations. Paul knew what it was life to adapt to the people he was with in order to contextualize the gospel and make Christ known. From Greeks to Roman officials to Jews, he did not hold back in evangelizing. This is why it matters to study him and pay attention to how he lived his life.
-
Paul was very passionate about preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, not only to his fellow Jews, but more so to the Gentiles. We may perhaps catch that passion and learn some of his strategies if we study about his life. We know that, particularly for cross-cultural missions, it is important to be able to identify with the target culture you are preaching to. Hence studying about Paul’s various personas may help us to do that.

-
Learning about the life of Paul is important because of the life example he provides us with. Paul had many different personas or costumes as outlined. It was a result of these different costumes that he was able to impact and reach so many. Understanding his life better helps us to reach others as well.
-
learning about Paul and his life along with the various personas he adopts in order to share the gospel is important, because it gives us examples of how to share Christ and to care about others. Paul also give us examples of how to be bold and rely on God in a variety of circumstance.
-
Paul didn’t fit into one single mold of a person. He could relate to many people. He could say, “been there, done that”. Because of this he was able to gain the trust of many and share the gospel this way.
