Write an essay that examines Paul’s missionary activity, its influence on how Paul pursued his vocation, and how Paul’s missionary activity might inform your vocation.
In the first two pages, you will describe important principles of Paul’s missionary activity (e.g., evangelism, engagement with worldview/philosophy, reconciliation, going to the nations/diverse peoples, etc.) and identify how he understood his vocation (or calling). This requires analysis and synthesis of various parts of the New Testament (Acts and Paul’s letters).
In the second two pages, you will apply your observations of Paul’s missionary activity and vocation to your understanding of your own call and vocation, whatever that might be. This section should state what you think God might be calling you to and explore how Paul’s mission and vocation applies to that calling.
