Recorded live at St Ann with Emmauel Church, Nottingham | Sunday 22nd September 2019, 6:30pm Sometime around 56 AD, the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome. His letter was arguably his theological masterpiece, and has continued to shape Christian faith ever since. He entrusted this letter to Phoebe, the deacon of the church at Cenchreae; in writing to the church that almost surely met in her home, Paul refers to her both as a deacon and as a helper or patron of many. But who was this remarkable woman? Biblical scholar, popular author and speaker Paula Gooder fills us in on how she came to write Phoebe's story who she was, the life she lived and her first-century faith and in doing so opens up Paul's theology, giving a sense of the cultural and historical pressures that shaped Paul's thinking, and the faith of the early church. facebook.com/stannwithemmanuel twitter.com/StAnnwithE facebook.com/StChristophersChurchSneinton
