Fools for Christ's Sake

About this episode

Dr. James Boice reflects on the Apostle Paul's self-evaluation as a minister of Christ.

The Apostle Paul called himself “the servant of Christ”, but in his day there really were no servants, only slaves. The Greek word Paul used is better translated “under rower”, the slave who occupied the lowest position in the galley of a ship powered by the sweat of men. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he reflects on Paul’s self-evaluation as a minister of Christ.
