We continue with the letters of the New Testament--the third section in the NT wing of the Biblical library. This session features St. Paul's third pastoral letter (along with 1 and 2 Timothy) to Titus. Paul advises Titus in similar ways he advised Timothy. Philemon is a touching letter featuring 25 verses and three men and one of these being a runaway slave. Hebrews, possibly an early eucharistic homily, describes Jesus as the fulfillment of the old priesthood, old sacrificial system and old temple. It is a rich and deep read! Finally, James' letter describes many facets crucial to our faith--faith and works, wisdom, taming of the tongue and joy through suffering.
