- Why are Paul's letters letters?
- How does writing from prison affect Paul's state of mind in his letters?

- Does the image of the church as a body work? How about the body of Jesus? And how is Jesus the head of his own body?
- How does Paul think that Jesus' death saved the world?
- If the world was going down the tubes, why did God wait so long to bring Jesus into it?
- If believing in Jesus saves humans, then why does Paul have so many rules for good behavior?
- If Jesus came and made all people equal, then why are there still slaves and masters?

- Who are the false teachers in Colossae? What are they saying to annoy Paul?
- Why is Paul so down with suffering? How does being an underdog help his cause?
- Why do you think Paul never mentions anything about the end of the world in these letters?
