The fourteen books of the Bible that Paul wrote are Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.
Paul wrote each of these books during the course of his ministry as he traveled throughout the larger part of the Roman Empire. He wrote to encourage the early church to remain faithful to God, to build up their faith, and to remind believers that they too could live lives of holiness, righteousness, and love.
Rome, as most people know, was the center of the ancient world; it was a melting pot of cultures, religions, and beliefs. And yet, despite the immense cultural differences, Paul was able to successfully preach the Gospel of Jesus to virtually everyone he encountered.
The fourteen books that Paul wrote form the backbone of the New Testament, providing evidence and support for the teachings of Jesus. These books explain the full scope of our salvation: through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are reconciled with God and have the capacity to live a redeemed life. Paul's writings have been instrumental in leading Christians through the centuries to a deeper understanding of God's Word and His will for our lives.
