One of the things I love to do is look at Paul's letters against the backdrop of history, not for any special kind of theological significance but for the enrichment of those stories.  Kind of like adding sound to silent movies, or color to what was once only black and white.  And I just like Paul for being authentic.  How can you not like a guy who calls skubala exactly what it is? (Phil 3:8 -and he didn't say "dung')

Paul hits the road... hops on a boat... hitchhikes to Europe (Macedonia).  He's doing what he thinks is best and teaching others to do the same, and along the way he faces all kinds of opposition which he understands better than most because he used to be one of the oppressors.  He easily forgives those who speak against him because he used to be just like they were, --until he wasn't anymore.  He was changed and he knows it wasn't because of any 'goodness' that was in him. It was because he was flooded by this Light that he later so often speaks of.  -And he knows-- it's what's inside that counts.

Have you taken a good look at the books he wrote. What 13 of them? How many epistles? What were the others? Were there any repeats?
Are any single or group parallel other singular or groups?

A bunch of questions for you my friend.
