In the seminar, we will deal with the sufferings of the apostle Paul on the basis of a paper on 2 Corinthians 11:24. What historical circumstances led to the physical punishments he had to undergo? How did he deal with these painful experiences in his letters? And what role did they play in his communication with his congregations and in communicating the gospel?
