Bibles today contain fourteen letters attributed to the Apostle Paul. But this has not always been the case. For more than a millennium, readers found a fifteenth letter—a Pauline Epistle to the Laodiceans—among their holy scriptures. Across centuries, continents, and cultures, this lost letter of Paul inspired Christians to challenge authorities and question received ideas about scripture.
Join Ian Mills for his talk "The Lost Letter of Paul: Paul's Epistle to the Laodiceans as Christian Scripture" at the New Insights into the New Testament conference from Sept. 26-27. Early bird pricing is available through Aug. 22.
